Hometowns, the debut album from the Rural Alberta Advantage, first appeared in early 2008 as a self-released record by a young Toronto indie rock band. It might have stayed a local secret, but eMusic picked the band as its featured artist of the month in November 2008, and suddenly listeners far beyond Canada were paying attention. Saddle Creek Records signed them and put the album out again on July 7, 2009.
It's a scrappy, heart-on-sleeve record of urgent vocals, hard-strummed guitar and drums that gallop rather than merely keep time, and "Don't Haunt This Place" is the song that has hung around on the countdowns for well over a decade since. Departing followed.
