Record Review: Light Black – S/T
I can seriously count on one hand how many times I have really truly enjoyed a Salt Lake City local band. The first being Iceburn from back in the day. Then in the mid 90′s it was Ehco Seven, late 90′s, Headtrip. In the early 2000′s it was Form of Rocket (if you have not experinced any … Continue reading
Record Review: The Ocean – Pelagial
Having never experienced or having never listened to The Ocean before, you could say that this was a bit out of my depths. The German post-metal band who last released two albums back in 2010 (Heliocentric and Anthropocentric) now embrace us with more sonic beauty, based around a concept where it takes the listener on … Continue reading
Record Review: YEW – Too EP
So I’ll start by being completely honest in saying that when I heard some of the initial teasers and demo tracks that were leaked by Yew over a year ago I was very underwhelmed, but I have learned quite a few times that you cannot judge an album based on any of these sound bytes. And I … Continue reading
Record Review: Vampire Weekend – Modern Vampires in the City
For fans of and anyone even vaguely familiar with Vampire Weekend, the maturity of their latest album, Modern Vampires of the City will be evident upon the very first listen. Let me provide a statement that is undoubtedly going to become redundant when referring to this album: Vampire Weekend are all grown up. Modern Vampires … Continue reading
Interview with The New Trust
I am new to the awesomeness that is The New Trust. I was exposed to the band from a post on the band Junius’ Facebook page and upon watching TNT’s video for “Compromise” I was hooked. They are the perfect combination of post-hardcore, heavy indie rock, mixed with earnest / clean vocals. One of the first things … Continue reading
Tera Melos / TTNG @ The Garrison TO, ON 04/28/13
Performance art, especially in big cities like Toronto is everywhere; there is a strong chance that if you were placed anywhere in the city randomly, you could find some type of art, music or performance within 5 minutes walking. On April 28th. I strolled down to The Garrison to see a couple of the most … Continue reading
Record Review: Thee Oh Sees – Floating Coffin
Thee Oh Sees are by no means a new group, with years of experience under their belts, and this years release Floating Coffin marks the groups 12th studio album, technically. The 4 members that currently play in the group have been together since 2008, and lead man John Dwyer has been doing his thing since … Continue reading
Record Review: Tera Melos – X’ed Out
Hailing from Sacramento, California, Tera Melos is a band that has held a firm grasp on my attention ever since I first discovered them back in 2007. I was introduced to them through the spastic, but colourful sounds that peppered their second EP, Drugs to the Dear Youth, which isn’t the easiest collection of songs … Continue reading
Record Review: KEN Mode – Entrench
KEN Mode (KEN being an acronym for “Kill Everyone Now”) are undoubtedly one of Canada’s most reliable forces in metal and hardcore, leaving destruction in their path after each release. Their previous record Venerable earned them a Juno Award in 2011 (essentially the Canadian equivalent to a Grammy), and this year’s offering Entrench shows that … Continue reading
Record Review: Suuns – Images du Futur
Throughout history, there have been groups of musicians that don’t want to conform to mainstream media and genres. In some cases, entire musical movements are birthed from this idea – Punk being an obvious example. And with Punk music like many others, once a larger social group jumped on the bandwagon, certain individuals wanted something … Continue reading
