Toronto based rock band with Estonian members Jaan Kittask and Markus Saks gets cool reviews on its first CD

Band Members: Johnny Kay (Jaan Kittask), James Robertson, Markus Saks, Steve Payne

The I Spies began in 2003 as four young musicians experimenting with angular riffs and new wave hooks, inspired by the likes of The Police and Elvis Costello and by the attitudes of bands like The Clash and XTC. Recently, The I Spies have gelled. They are more than the sum of their influences. Their energetic and fiery pop songs translate flawlessly into high energy live performances.

Released independently and distributed nationwide by Fontana North, 'In the Night' is The I Spies' full-length debut. The I Spies breed an imposing sound. Robertson's layered quitar grit scuzzes-up Kay's strong pop rants, while Payne's infectious bass melodies race alongside Saks' machine gun percussion. Organs and synths pulse in and out. The music is urgent and abrasive; big and fresh; hook-laden and filler-free. Armed with a clear agenda and a stunning record, The I Spies are ready to infiltrate.
