Alternative Music/The Boston Post

Question
Hello. How are you? Good I hope.

I had a question about a particular band. Their name is The Boston Post. They are a Canadian band, I think.

One of the members was formerly in a pop group called "The Moffatts". They have since disbanded and did other things and/or started or joined other bands.

Scott Moffatt, the lead singer/guitarist of The Moffatts became the lead singer/guitarist of The Boston Post, from what I understand. I do not much care for The Moffatt's style anymore, and I had been trying to find stuff on the Boston Post. Apparently they are/were dramatically different from the more poppy, alternative Moffatts. I found a clip of some random interview with The Boston Post on a fansite, and there were little snippets of their songs throughout it, although the interview clip had effects added to it and was very scattered. Though I really liked the snippets of songs. I have tried to find their music and it is incredibly hard because from what I have gathered they are not signed, and also I do not live in Canada.

There was an address I found once that you could send for the CD, but at the time I did not have the money. I do not even know if that address is still good now because that must have been at least two years ago.

Do you know anything about this band, and possibly where I could get their music?

Answer
Hello Susan,

Thanks for your attention, I'm very fine, and hope your are feeling well too.

I listened to Boston Post audio samples at their website (listed below, but discontinued/redirectioned at this very moment, due their tour dates), and yes, they are very cool, more experimental than the Moffatts, by the way. I guess they are coming soon with a new release, after those show routines. I provided some websites from fans community of Moffatts, Boston Post and related projects, so drop them a line, I'm quite positive you will find out lots of information about the band:
