After missing the cut in 2013 as a brand-new band auditioning for a spot in the 1000 day series from Rod Matheson on his EverydayMusicTV channel – we brought back Closer as veterans of the indie-scene by the time the opportunity came back around a year later. This time we even conned the noise-rock champions […]Read More
Word on the street is that the Lung Flower crew is continuing to generate momentum following their recent release of their Effigy album and cross-Canada tour. They’ll be playing the Bio Cup Canada Legends Valley music-festival later on this summer with headline act SUBLIME taking the main-stage. Awesome to see these guys doing well and […]Read More
Phil Cooper – “You’re A Light” – Single Review This was interesting. I was immediately impressed by the strong rhythm of the music in “You’re A Light” and the way the guitar-tones opened up Phil Cooper’s new single. He’s got good ideas that certainly come through clearly in the verse and the backing vocals throughout […]Read More
TICTO – “Waking You Up” Feat. Mara – Single Review Not that I’m complaining about the quality, which has been excellent, but it’s nice to change up the vibe to something different here in the studio today…been listening to rap/hip-hop for much of my time reviewing this afternoon. Here to brighten up the mood and […]Read More
James Younger – “The Show” – Single Review Man! It hasn’t been like…since…jeez…”I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson” by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince came out that I’ve heard a song being announced in like a title-fight! Ahhhh…memories… Props to James Younger for the nostalgia trip he just sent me on. Also […]Read More
Bizznes – “Days In The East” – Single Review Sometimes I’ve gotta shake myself and remember what side of Canada I’m on now. Like for instance, my natural instincts to start hatin’ when I see a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey just because I’m originally from Vancouver. I don’t even watch hockey…that’s how deep-set the rivalry […]Read More
Shellshock Lullaby – A Lighter Shade – Album Review I was digging on the sounds of the background-vocals of Shellshock Lullaby even before the first song “I’ve Walked That Road” began to fully bloom. Met with a sound that mixed the acoustic-vibes of tender indie moments like you’d find in the music of Superchunk mixed […]Read More
Mac Tre – “We Could” – Single Review Definitely potential here…and I’m excited! Mac Tre is a rapper/hip-hop artist from Alaska – and I don’t recall that I’ve written about music from that region yet! All my life…sitting underneath it geographically-somewhat in British Columbia before our move out east to Ottawa, Ontario – yet I’ve […]Read More
One of my favorite indie-grunge bands of all-time – we had the honor of interviewing Fey in 2013. Currently kind-of sort-of maybe-a-little on pause – you can check out lead-singer Sam Caviglia’s new project called Salmon Friends releasing their first tunes soon. In the meantime – check out the final album of shots from our […]Read More
Mike Bee And The Dead Soldiers – Mike Bee And The Dead Soldiers – EP Review Here’s a project I’m proud to have been supporting and listening to for some time now – Mike Bee And The Dead Soldiers. Behind the scenes, we’ve worked together on different concepts to bring the music to life onscreen […]Read More
