Their heavy guitar sound, wailing and pouty vocals, and obvious love for '70s album rock and punk sets them apart from the others -- who are known for their melodies and wistful musings, not their aggression and raw energy.
Thrush Hermit was formed in 1992 by Joel Plaskett (vocals/guitar), Rob Benvie (guitar/keyboards/vocals), Ian McGettigan (bass/vocals), and Cliff Gibb (drums).
By 1999, Gibb had left and been replaced by Benn Ross, Thrush Hermit had signed to the Hamilton, Ontario, label Sonic Unyon, and Clayton Park was issued in February of that year.

 Music: Thrush Hermit
Maybe not a tough enough name for a band that's become such a hard-rockin' unit, but these four buds from Halifax used to wear their moniker well--if you were wont to think about it or look it up in a book.
A thrush is "any of numerous small or medium-sized passerine birds which are mostly of a plain colour often with spotted underparts and many of which are excellent singers." Corny, I know, to do the definition thing, but it's pretty much on the money.
So if Thrush Hermit were a largely undistinguished or indistinguishable group that got a bit of a free ride into the national spotlight with the great Halifax Explosion of '92, all of that changed with their first full-length album, Sweet Homewrecker (Elektra, 1997).
