    Winnipeg shoegaze band sundayclub are a product of their hometown. Hailing from Winnipeg's small but thriving alternative scene, the band have been making a name for themselves with a heartfelt debut album, their self-titled, out on Paper Bag Records, and the album could only have been a product of their exact circumstances: songs like 'Sad Summer' explore depression during the warm summers, in one of the coldest cities on earth. Elsewhere, the band process relationships and more in thoughtful lyrics.
