  • Flipping past The Monster Show

    I'm sort of glad that The Monster Show's self-titled EP doesn't seem to be available anywhere online. After all, it's not something that I'd recommend people go out and buy. That sounds a lot meaner than it's supposed to. What I mean is that, for the most part, the band...(read full post)

  • Catch Ketch Harbour Wolves. Right Now.

    I'm sure I've said it before, but one of the nicest things about having been blogging for a couple of years is seeing bands grow and evolve over time, as they find sounds that suit them. Take Ketch Harbour Wolves, for example. While I know that I heard their last...(read full post)

    Artists mentioned:
  • This week's feature: The Golden Hands Before God...

    The Golden Hands Before God..., Here (Pop Echo) WHO Retro-rocking Windsor (but recently relocated to Montreal) quintet. DISCOGRAPHY Here (Pop Echo, 2008) IN A NUTSHELL Here expertly blends psychedelia and classic rock with a distinctly modern sensibility. THE STORY It's not often that a band's name gives you a keen...(read full post)

    Artists mentioned:
  • Higgs for the Holiday

    Today's the last day of a long weekend (huzzah for the imaginatively-named "Civic Holiday"), so I don't feel like putting much effort into a post. As such, here's Rebekah Higgs doing songs from her self-titled debut back in June at NxNE. 1. Gosh Darn Damn 2. Miserably Together 3. Wedding...(read full post)

    Artists mentioned:
  • Surrender to Crush Buildings

    Around Ottawa, Crush Buildings have a reputation that could basically be described as "Guns N' Roses-esque". They released a debut EP back in 2004, won over a whole bunch of people, and then...nothing. Over the last four years they've periodically emerged from their studio to play a few shows here...(read full post)

    Artists mentioned:
  • New Edition

    Listening to Luddites, I can't help but feel as though Italian Edition are arriving on the Canadian music scene about a decade too late. After all, they specialize in the kind of mainstream-friendly rock that probably would've landed them a nice spot on an Edgefest tour or two sometime in...(read full post)

    Artists mentioned:
  • This week's feature: Woodpigeon

    Woodpigeon, Treasury Library Canada (Self-released) WHO Orchestrally-minded Calgary pop collective. DISCOGRAPHY Songbook (Rectangle, 2006) Treasury Library Canada (Self-released, 2008) IN A NUTSHELL Treasury Library Canada makes a pretty strong argument for the idea that Woodpigeon are the most unjustly overlooked band in Canada. THE STORY As a rule, I tend...(read full post)

    Artists mentioned:
  • Quick hits: whatever's lying nearby edition

    Loitering Heroes are really, really boring. Now, I hate to rip on a band that most people won't know, but sometimes albums come across my desk that are just so bad, bland or otherwise blah that I can't help but want to warn people against them. Beast Alert is one...(read full post)

    Artists mentioned:
  • This week's feature: The Constantines

    The Constantines, Kensington Heights (Arts & Crafts) WHO Former Guelph post-punkers, now scattered up and down the St.Lawrence corridor. DISCOGRAPHY Fits and Starts (Self-released, 1999) The Constantines (, 2001) Shine A Light (Three Gut, 2003) Tournament of Hearts (Three Gut, 2005) Kensington Heights (Arts & Crafts, 2008) IN A NUTSHELL...(read full post)

  • Meeting Deadlines

    Though this is my first time writing about Arkells, it's actually my second time writing about the band members themselves. Up until late last year, you see, Arkells were known as Charlemagne, and I wrote about them when they were under that name, comparing them (favourably) to the likes of...(read full post)

    Artists mentioned:
  • Quick hits: weekend randomness edition

    It's not often that I completely disagree with the fine folks at Herohill (their bizarre appreciation for Justin Rutledge notwithstanding), but I've got to say that their review of The Milwaukee's Best Band's It's All Over But The Crying completely baffles me. Or, at least, part of it does. I'm...(read full post)
