At the end of our interview, Terry and Deaner kindly judged a shotgunning competition for [...]

Back in 2008, Calgary’s Women became a surprise success with the release of their gritty, art-rocking eponymous debut. Produced by eclectic pop maestro Chad VanGaalen, the album’s brittle guitars and swampy production struck a chord with fans and tastemakers alike, getting the band signed to indie heavyweight Jagjaguwar.
