This is another Canadian indie rock band, this time from PEI. They are actually named after a line in the prologue to Romeo and Juliet. So the four guys got together as a group when they met at the University of PEI. They released a demo when they were 19, and gave a copy of it to Joel Plaskett, a guitarist from Halifax and member of the band The Emergency. He liked their stuff, and they started collaborating. In 2005, Two Hours Traffic released their first album, produced by Joel with some guitar tracks done by him added to songs. Since then the band has been nominated for and received a couple awards, as well as released two more EP's and three more CD's, all produced by Joel. In 2011, guitarist Alec O'Hanley split from the group and was replaced by the bassist Andrew MacDonald. Then in Andrew's place Nathan Gill, the singer from The North Lakes took over on bass. In 2013 the band called it quits because " it is difficult to sustain an income in this business." Despite not being together anymore, the fact that they've been nominated for 26 different things should be enough to convince you to listen to the song.
Peace.
