biographical info

Influenced by the brutal lyrical honesty of Gordon Lightfoot, the frenzied and riff-laden guitar styles of Elvis Costello and Billy Bragg, and showered lightly with a few droplets of soul, Plus Perfect is a unique entity unto itself. After returning from a summer of tree planting to Vancouver in 2006, frontman Andrew Candela and Allan Boyle (WPP, Ghost House) began jamming. In November of that year, Jesse Gander (DBS, Operation Makeout, Ghost House) hopped in to the garage with some Czech beer and killer bass lines. The three released a demo in April 2007, shortly before Andrew hit the bush once more. Returning as a 4 piece in the fall of 2007 with Mike Gittens on keys, Plus Perfect could be aptly described as Power Romance.
