Against Time – Slow Burn

Against Time – Slow Burn – EP Review After all, it IS Canada Day…suppose I should post a review about something out there in the ol’ Canadian music-scene…seeing that Ottawa-based heavy-rock band Against Time was on my list of stuff to check out made it a natural choice to be today’s celebratory review.  They’ve got […]Read More
