History
Dillon formed the band in Kingston in 2004.[1] Lead singer Dillon projected a less aggressive style in this band than in his previous group Headstones.[2] That year the band released an album, The High Co$t of Low Living, through Paul Langois' Ching Music label.[3][4][5] Two tracks from this album were included as extras in the DVD version of the dramatic series Durham County: Season 1.[6]
The Redemption Choir performed in the Tragically Hip's Across the Causeway show.[7] The band's members also performed behind Dillon on his solo album Works Well with Others in 2009, released through Paul Langois' Bathouse Studio.[8]
