If 2012 is anyone’s year, its the ARKELLS‘. The Hamilton rock quintet solidified their place in Canadian music with the emotionally delightful Michigan Left, tying together fast songs to heartstrings that tug at every feeling a human is capable of having. In this clip directed by Brendan McCarney, the band do an engaging performance of “On Paper” in their own touring van that brings you down to their roots and provides a glimpse of what heartache feels like.
