Missed it by that much (the next best albums of 2013)

January 30, 2014 Trev

As I sat down to wrestle with my top 10 of 2013, I had an easy time putting together this unranked list of the albums which almost made the top 10, but there were other albums which I listened to and enjoyed more. I really dig this albums, and while some of these records are…Read More

Justin’s Top, Favourite, Bestest, Call It What You Want… Albums Of ’13

January 7, 2014 Justin

Hey music fans, I just thought I'd through in my ten cents on my favorite albums of 2013. I know, I know, I'm alittle late, but now that the dust has settled (aka the holidays), I've been able to sit down, and crack my top 5 albums of last year. I've been actually listening to…Read More

Top 5 Albums of 2013 (which weren’t actually released in 2013)

December 20, 2013 Trev

When compiling a Best Of list for a certain year, you sometimes encounter albums that you loved in a particular year only to discover they were released prior to that year. This is the case with the 5 albums now before you, they were all released in 2012, but that didn't stop me from loving them, squeezing…Read More

Justin’s Live Music Highlights 2013

December 18, 2013 Justin

Before I get into my live music list of 2013, which highlights a wide range of talented artists both outside, & local acts playing in Halifax, I just want to say, from start to finish I couldn't imagine what a year we'd have, from all of the bands that…Read More

Jeff’s Top 8 of 2013

December 17, 2013 Jeff

With more misses than hits, 2013 wasn’t the best of years for music but it also wasn’t the worst. As per usual there were albums which were supposed to be massive hits (Britney, Miley and Gaga) and some which fell just a tad short (Bowie, Daft Punk and JT) but no matter if you agree…Read More

Trev’s Best 10 of 2013

December 10, 2013 Trev

I don't what it was about 2013, it seems that a few of the albums which I wanted to put on this list were released in 2012 (Passenger's All the Little Lights, The Heist by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to name a couple), but 2013 had some definitely great music, it wasn't a banner year like in years…Read More

Joyce Island, Joyce Island EP, Indie

November 6, 2013 Trev

With most musicians, the road is generally an experience which is begrudged as they know all too well (especially with the current state of physical media sales) that touring is a necessary evil. Books have been written about the trials and tribulations of life on the road and while some romanticize the experience, others revel…Read More

Mike Trask, Mike Trask and the Precious Memories, Indie

November 6, 2013 Trev

The concept alone of the latest effort from Mike Trask and his collection of friends and cohorts should be reason enough to press play, but if you need some convincing, then alright, here goes… This is the fourth solid full length album to be released by Trask in roughly the past year (Jamboree, Jamboree II, What a…Read More

Miley Cyrus, Bangerz, Sony Music

October 16, 2013 Trev

In recent years, the Disney-fication of pop radio has become somewhat rampant. At least when the Mickey Mouse crew hit the airwaves, they were somewhat removed from their Mousekateer ears and had an opportunity to transition in a somewhat normal life before thrusting themselves back into the pop culture machine. As that gestation period has…Read More

Like A Motorcycle, #Motorpool, Indie

October 15, 2013 Trev

Three weeks ago we had the pleasure to attend the launch party for #Motorpool the latest release from Halifax-based trio Like a Motorcycle. It was an interesting introduction to the band, as their set that night was acoustic which is quite unlike the typical Like A Motorcycle sound. #Motorpool is a blink and you might miss it EP…Read More
