    COLD SPECKS

    “I’m from Etobicoke, Canada — it’s a really remote place, so not many people have ever heard of it. I was in high school and got very much into Tom Waits, so he can be blamed for totally sparking my interest in music. I started off listening to his album, Rain Dogs, and then worked backwards and forwards through his records. I have to be honest and tell you that I’d never heard anything quite like him before or since. After that, I began to explore quite a few old blues and soul singers — people like James Carr — which kinda got me to where I am today.”
