Odds are you haven’t heard of them if you live outside of Canada.
[Album Review] Odds | Neopolitan
For the majority of my life, I thought the name was “The Odds”. But it is just “Odds”. Fun fact. An even funner fact: I’m not a fan of Neopolitan ice cream or mixing flavours in general. The fewer the ingredients, the better. My past…
[Album Review] Odds | Bedbugs
Odds were on the upswing for their second album, Bedbugs. Not only did they get the Canadian comedy troupe The Kids In The Hall to be in the video for the album’s first single, Heterosexual Man, but they also locked in THEE Warren Zevon as…
