Daytrotter was in Québec to record some of the amazing bands that were part of this year’s POP Montréal festival, which took place September 29 – October 3.
They did eight recordings at Breakglass Studios, which are available (along with clever write-ups and funky artwork) at no charge on Daytrotter's website.
Links to the individual recordings are available here:

POP Montréal is an annual five-day festival that features more than 400 artists. Known for presenting a dynamic introduction of the next generation of musical talent, the festival also includes symposium discussions, artisan and visual art exhibitions, fashion shows and film screenings.
Based in Rock Island, Illinois, Daytrotter aims to give the public new versions of their featured artists’ material. They highlight a band each day and post four songs that were recorded in their studio.
The Québec Government Office in Chicago provided financial assistance to help offset Daytrotter's travel expenses.
