Small Sins, the Toronto-based indie rock band, have made a list of “23 Sins They Must Commit Before Death,” and they plan to use their recently announced tour of Canada — a modern day Sodom — to check at least 15 of the sins off the list. Coincidentally, the band will also be promoting their new album, Pot Calls Kettle Black, which became available in stores on October 12 via Small Sins Music and Arts&Crafts Distribution.
I called up Thomas d’Arcy, frontman for Small Sins, and asked if he could tell me what any of the 23 sins were, and this is exactly what he said: “Well, I don’t… It’d be tough to… It’s. I’m not sure if… I’ll give you four clues: Buffalo, Heroin, Hockey, Rubber Gloves.” Just promise you’ll be careful.
