It was almost a year ago that I first brought you word of a slammin' little album from some PEI boys calling themselves Two Hours Traffic. Since then, said album, Little Jabs, has landed itself on the shortlist for this year's Polaris Music Prize. Not surprising, since its eleven slices of pop perfection have garnered rave reviews across the country. Joel Plaskett produced Little Jabs, which is the band's second full length, infusing its folk rock sensibilities with a distinctive air of Maritime pop that has certainly been making a comeback of late. Of course the true marker that signifies that Two Hours Traffic have arrived is their appearance (or rather their songs) on Gossip Girl, Smallville, and The OC.
As I said, the accolades have poured in from across the country for Two Hours Traffic, and the Polaris nomination is most definitely a feather in these good ol' boys' cap. Good things gro-o-ow in Prince Edward Island as well, it seems. (Even though only Ontarians are going to get that joke, I couldn't help it.)
