[edit] Overview
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and raised in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Jordan Robson-Cramer moved to Montreal a year after graduating from high school. Soon afterwards, Cramer joined forces with Mathieu Malouf in 2005 to form Magic Weapon. A self titled EP Magic Weapon was recorded and released in October of 2006. While Malouf left the band later that year, Matt Shane of Think About Life joined the band on drums, and Rory Seydel of Shapes and Sizes joined on guitar in 2007. The new lineup, consisting entirely of Victoria natives who now call Montreal their home, recorded Residue Hymns at Breakglass Studios in Montreal with Dave Smith.[1] Robson-Cramer is also a member of two of Montreal's renowned indie bands, Sunset Rubdown and Miracle Fortress (alternating between drums, guitar and keyboards), joining Sunset Rubdown in 2006, and Miracle Fortress in spring of 2007.
