Redpath Traffic / "Dundas Square"

 

The Skinny Review:
The latest single from Toronto's Redpath Traffic is a tribute to the city itself, namely the popular tourist area. While Dundas Square is set get a name change, the song is an infectious tale of the history and sometimes seedy culture of the area. One thing is for sure, you won't be able to get this chorus out of your head.

In Their Own Words: 

“Toronto needed a song! There aren’t a lot of songs about Toronto, or that even mention it in passing, so what’s better than creating a catchy rock song about the area of the city where you’re right in the mix of it all.

It’s changed a lot over the years, but in the 70s and 80s it was at the bottom of an area known as the Yonge Street Strip – a name well-earned! Crazy days but crazy fun that still goes on to this day if you know where to find it.

Yes, there’s a controversy going on currently about the name Dundas. We’re not saying change the name and we’re not saying don’t change it. Our point is that you can change the name, but that’s all that will change. You won’t change the culture, you won’t change the people, you change the area’s characteristics, you certainly won’t change history, and people will continue to call it Dundas Square anyway"
