Eh.

The Sunshine Coast is a tiny group of communities in BC off of the Georgia Straight which stands in between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland (Vancouver, the city).

When people think of the Sunshine Coast they usually think of the one in Australia, but nope it’s just a bunch of communities up the coast by the names of Langdale, Gibsons, Roberts Creek, Davis Bay, Sechelt, Halfmoon Bay and then finally Pender Harbour which then leads you to Powell River.

The Wilderness Crew is a hip-hop group based out of this little hippy town called Roberts Creek, which is just 10-15 minutes out of Gibsons (my turf).  The  group started out as three high-school buddies by the names of Evan Quinn, Brett Mjanes and Eli Dill.  The three boys grew up together, and started out as a backyard hip-hop group just hanging out in eachothers basements spitting rhymes.  As they got more serious another member by the name of Eric Amberg joined, and that’s where the Wilderness Crew evolved.  The music is inspiring and touches home to anyone who lives on the Sunshine Coast. Because after all, we are a small community where everyone knows each other.

They’ve got one album out so far selling on ITunes and they say they’re working on another.

The album can be found here.  I’ve bought the album twice just because I want to support a local group that is trying to make it big.
