July Talk @ Scotiabank Centre – 02.05.19

May 10, 2019 Trev

When the initial press release announced Metric’s Art of Doubt tour, July Talk was initially the sole opener on the bill. As the Eastern Canada leg of the tour neared, Murray A. Lightburn (better known as The Dears front-man) was added. All three of the acts have been (or are) long-time darlings of the Canadian… Read More

Flourish Festival 5 – The Highlight Reel

April 29, 2019 Mitch

Festivals aren't always the easiest events to endure, but are usually worth the sore feet and ringing ears. The fifth Flourish Festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick, was more than worth the week-long hangover of exhaustion that I will no doubt suffer through. It was a long time since I'd visited NB's capital, and really had… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack :: Kicking the Day Off Edition

April 26, 2019 Trev

Black Pumas - "Colors" I think I was running errands last weekend when I caught the premiere of this track, and when the band name was mentioned I expected something far, far heavier. The band has this timeless sound, where it sounds both old and new - while there is an indie rock backbone, there… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Neko Case w/ Jennifer Castle @ The Cohn – 16.04.19

April 21, 2019 Trev

As far as spring days go, it was fairly rote for mid-April. Over the course of the day, we had samplings of three of the four seasons, as there was snow covering the ground in the morning, a cool autumn dampness in the air, and, when the clouds broke, you could feel the growing warmth… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Wintersleep w. Museum Pieces – 29.03.19

April 9, 2019 Trev

It’s been a week and half since Wintersleep descended on the Marquee Ballroom to play the first of their two sold-out shows at the illustrious Halifax venue.

Show Thoughts & Shots // Monster Truck w/ The Standstills – 03.28.19

April 3, 2019 Trev

There is clearly something in the water in Hamilton, Ontario, as it is home to some fantastic acts including Whitehorse, Junkhouse, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Canadian darlings Arkells, and Monster Truck. While Hamilton plays home to these aforementioned acts, not many occupy the same musical space, as the Arkells are one of the nation’s… Read More

Shots & Thoughts // The Tea Party @ The Marquee Ballroom – 21.03.19

March 24, 2019 Trev

It has been close to 30 years since Can-con giants The Tea Party started roaming the vast plains of Canada; in that time the band has released 7 studio albums, survived an abrupt break-up, and recently unleashed their first single in 5 years. During the band’s dissolution, front-man Jeff Martin released music under his own… Read More

Shots and Thoughts // Foreigner @ Scotiabank Centre – 17.03.19

March 19, 2019 Trev

Back in October came the announcement that Foreigner’s Cold As Ice tour was slated to bring the well-known act east to the Maritimes. The original tour announcement included a trio of dates - Halifax, Moncton, and Charlottetown - but as the mid-March dates neared, the decision was made to pull the plug on PEI. When… Read More
