Topanga of the Future

When you hear the name 'Topanga', it's hard not to immediately think of the sultry, 90s T.G.I.F. babe of Boy Meets World. But what if I were to tell you that the name now carries connotations even more babe-o-licious? Your mouth would probably drop quicker than Mr. Feeney gives out life lessons.

As a long time pal of The Thrill Is Back, we've missed Steve 'Sly' Sladkowski since his inevitable move from a month on Andy's futon to Toronto, but it was obviously a productive move. Laying down some lean licks and hollers, Topanga's debut EP was recorded in a slaughterhouse turned studio - and it's evident these guys got more than just a couple meaty hooks.

Here's half of the EP below (download the whole album here), followed by a tune from Steve's set at the CFRU studio with us in the summer: 

Topanga - Lionheart by The Thrill Is Back

Topanga - Fogo Island by The Thrill Is Back

Steve Sladkowski - Appalachian Fiddle Tunes by The Thrill Is Back
