Winter Gloves began with a single microphone in Charles F's downtown Montreal apartment as he tried to piece together the distance he'd covered since growing up in the countryside of a very rural Quebec. The jarring shift of such a transition seemed to peek through every chance it could, a constant inspiration as much as frustration that was drafted in the band's self-released Let Me Ride EP of mainly demo tracks.

With only a handful of live shows behind them at the beginning of the year, Winter Gloves was already receiving invitations to join dates with bands the likes The D'Urbervilles, Jealous Girlfriends and Tokyo Police Club on a series of sold-out tour dates (Montreal, Ottawa, two Toronto shows).

If you attended any of these earlier shows, you may have caught (literally) a copy of the Winter Gloves' EP as dozens were thrown offstage during their set.

Paper Bag Records is behind the release of Winter Gloves' full length debut, About A Girl . The album was recorded in Toronto during the Winter of 2008 with Producer Jon Drew (Tokyo Police Club, F*cked Up) and it is available for Canadians only... hopefully worldwide soon, US maybe.. plz?
