Can-rock 90s: Salmonblaster – "Freeway"
Celebrating the best(?) of 90s Cancon sanctioned modern rock.
I don’t really know much about these guys other than that they were a three-piece from somewhere in Ontario (I think). This is their first video from their self-titled record. Almost every song on it dealt with cars and speed (as in velocity, not the drug). I seem to remember it even being on the Much Music Countdown for a spell, but the band kind of disppeared after that. I actually still listen to this track a lot.
I also found their clip for Sugar Rush (which I’m guessing didn’t go over that well cause I never saw it) and an interview with TDM they did in Vancouver for MuchWest. Check out the shots of the old Town Pump (now Sonar) and Sam the Record Man (now a derelict building). Oh home…
Thank god there is someone else out there who loves this song as much as I do.
In the days of VCR’s and “indie” specific bands on MM, this song was on high rotation. I once recorded it on a VHS so I could play it over and over again….
Thanks for digging this up!
