Hey all,

I know Dev and the crew are really humble Canadians and everything, but Pasty McBalderton's been making some waves in the press for their year end lists.

Decon and Ghost, for example, have made several musicians top lists for the year, as well as some of the bloggers over at metalsucks.net


Post any other links/accolades!

Mr T features in the latest Metal Hammer as part of the Defender sof the Faith feature (even spotted on the front cover!) with a fairly generous segment about him!

Not a great picture...but the phone was the nearest thing to hand-

DTP mentions in the Thrash Hits Top Records of 2011 lists.

Strangely enough, it's Ghost that's made TH's records of the year lists...

No.7

Ghost is apparently up for the Canadian Polaris Music Prize, which is a fairly big deal up here! They're doing a live interview/listening session in Vancouver next week -

Any chance we could vote for this or is this a 'closed' prize?
