Awesome single by Kirkland Lake band Shaft. This was a quartet founded and led by Brett McNaul (Guitar/Vocals), and Bob Johnston (Bass/Vocals). The A-side 'Whole Lotta Pride' was entered into a song contest that was televised by the CBC called Hear Canada Singing. The song placed second out of more than 1000 entries. Thanks to my buddy Matt over at @funkyrollerskates for this rare single. Enjoy!
