FNS // Long Weekend Hangover Edition…..

May 21, 2018 Trev

Jessie Reyez - "Body Count" While Donald Glover's alter-ego may have dropped one of the most controversial and important music videos in over a decade in "This is America", no one should be sleeping on Toronto's Jessie Reyez. She has been making alternative pop music for a bit now, and with her recent win for…Read More

FNS // Now with More Music for Your Earholes Edition….

April 6, 2018 Trev

This week's FNS is loaded with tunes that have caught my ear over the past couple of weeks, and a few killer mailbag submissions. Sit back, hit play and enjoy. Friday's here! Lovelytheband - "Broken" This is a song that dropped in mid-2017, and is starting to gain serious traction on rock radio. It's a…Read More

FNS // March Break Edition

March 16, 2018 Trev

It's hard to believe that we're halfway through March, and that we're enjoying the tail end of March Break. In Halifax, it's a busy weekend, with acts such as Said the Whale, The Sheepdogs, Like a Motorcycle, and The Flatliners playing shows around town. Some of the aforementioned bands may show up in this edition…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – March 9th, 2018

March 9, 2018 Jeff

It seems like we've been creating these quick little Friday night playlists for years now. I'm sure at one point an all-female playlist came about, but it would take too much time to figure that out. Instead, let's embrace the fact that yesterday (March the 8th) was International Women's Day, and bust out some jams!…Read More

FNS // It’s February, and we’re still here!

February 3, 2018 Trev

Can we all agree that we just endured what seemed to be the longest January on record? I don't know what it was, but it certainly felt like the ghosts of 2016 and 2017 united to attempt one final swipe at us before they fucked off into the ether. To boot, we had a Super…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // Where has time gone?

December 8, 2017 Trev

"Live in the Moment" - Portugal. The Man At the moment, Portugal. The Man have taken Midas' golden touch, and continue to drop these incredibly infectious slices of indie-rock. Just press play, and don't call us when you can shake this one out of your head. https://youtu.be/Hha0bwVvGmY "Chainsmoking" - Jacob Banks There is something soulful…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // We’ll start by flipping a Table

December 1, 2017 Trev

"Witch Doctor" - Hopsin I regret missing Hopsin's Marquee show earlier this year, as his recent release "Witch Doctor" is nothing short of fire. Mainstream Hip-Hop has seriously deviated from what made me fall in love with growing up with the likes of Public Enemy, Nas, Talib Kweli and Tribe Called Quest, but there are…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // The Energizer

July 29, 2017 Trev

I know some of you Haligoons out there are close to surviving what could only be described as the longest week in history, but fortunately we're in the home stretch as it's finally Friday. Your pals here at HAFILAX have cobbled together a Friday Night Soundtrack designed to have you coasting through this brief respite…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // The Return Edition…..

July 21, 2017 Trev

We are back in your lives, after a long overdue absence. The HAFILAX team was out milling about last week at the TD Halifax Jazz Festival, and hopefully you had an opportunity to pop down and check out some of the great music that was going on. While we may toss in a tune from…Read More

FNS Side 2 // Mailbag & Misc. Mayhem

June 17, 2017 Trev

This week we're cracking open the mailbag and checking out some tunes that were sent our way and which caught our ear. Hope you enjoy them. Good Kid - "Witches" This track is one that I would have embraced 15 years ago, and it still catches my ear in the same way. It's a fresh…Read More
