Interview: Laura Stevenson and The Cans

Laura Stevenson and the Cans are one of those bands who definitely don’t fit under the “punk rock” moniker yet it still makes perfect sense to cover them on a site like this. There’s something in their attitude and delivery that endears them to the punk rock crowd – the fact that they feature members of Bomb The Music Industry! and Lattermandoesn’t hurt either, but that’s neither here nor there.

The fact is that Laura Stevenson and the Cans, an indie pop outfit from the heart of New York, have something special about them and we had a chance to sit with Laura Stevenson herself before she took the stage with Andrew Jackson Jihad for their first ever time in Vancouver to figure out what that is. We discussed their tour, their beef withThe Menzingers and Cheap Girls, their new album, their rickety old van and why it is that they’re so well accepted.
