"Brainy crackpot art-pop with an ear for off-kilter melody, a headful of magic and twitchy grooves to burn. It's a sin the Scenics have left such a faint mark on punk-rock history... but the reborn cult starts here.” Ben Rayner, Toronto Star
‘I don’t know much about this Canadian New Wave band that made these brilliant recordings in ’77 and ’78. Why they aren’t legends is hard to say.’ Roctober (Chicago)
"In The Summer" needs to supplant "Seasons In The Sun" as the finest Canadian summer anthem ever. 4/5 Cameron Gordon, Chart Attack
The Scenics tour "In The Summer" this Fall!

Excellently ominous and highly creative.. it's a skin-crawling, subtly menacing mash" Jack Rabid, Big Takeover
"An Extremely enticing mix that recalls the Doors-ie side of Television. A rhythmic, eccentric, and almost jazz-like adventure." T Broun, Stupefaction
"Talking Songs weilds it's perspective like a cudgel of lived-in wisdom with which you'll be undyingly (ha!) grateful to have been struck... An album that's as fearlessly outre as it is vibrantly soulful, and you can't get much more post-punk than that. CITC score 91%" Dave Cantrell, Caught in the Carousel
First Scenics studio recordings in three decades!
