Landing somewhere between the power pop of fellow Canadians Sloan and the piano-led rock of Ben Folds, the Meligrove Band were assembled in Ontario in 1997. The band's first album, Stars & Guitars, was released through Ductape Records in 2000, followed by the erratic Let It Grow in 2002. In 2005, the Meligrove Band became the first act from Canada to sign a world-wide agreement with V2. Their third album, Planets Conspire, was issued in Canada in January 2006, followed by the band's fourth release, 2010's Shimmering Lights. ~ Kenyon Hopkin
