Search - Cuff the Duke :: Way Down Here

Having spent several years carving their teeth on the road with the likes of The Sadies, Sloan, Hayden, The Weakerthans, Calexico and Nick Cave, Toronto's Cuff The Duke are posed to make the jump from indie-scene darlings to bona-fide Canadian music icons. Their new album, Way Down Here, was co-produced by Blue Rodeo's Greg Keelor in rural Ontario and features the band's most mature, captivating and impressive collection of songs to date.

Cuff The Duke started out in Oshawa before making the move to Toronto in 2002. Their debut album, Life Stories for Minimum Wage was released on Three Gut Records, at the time one of the most exciting indie labels in Canada. The albums Cuff the Duke and Sidelines And The City, respectively, were both released on Hardwood Records alongside label mates Basia Bulat and Hayden.

Last Year the band won accolades backing Hayden on his Canadian and North American tours and has toured Canada with artists including Feist, Blue Rodie and the Sadies.
