We’re starting a new series highlighting a genre of art that has long been held dear to my heart: rock posters. For the inaugural edition of Rock (Poster Art) Gods! we’re kicking things off with Dan Stiles, a 15+ year veteran laying it down from his studio in sunny Portland, Oregon.

Montreal’s Young Galaxy are about to release their third album Shapeshifting this Tuesday (February 8th, 2011) on Toronto’s Paper Bag Records. In preparation the 4-piece have dropped the very charming Sinbad Richardson directed video above for “We Have Everything”.
