Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk

April 14, 2021 Trev

When the Pandemic began back in 2020, we all thought it would be nipped in the bud and we could carry on with our lives as if we weren't undergoing some sort of paradigm shift. Unfortunately, that has not been the case, and we're well over a year into this. People still don't fully grasp… Read More

Album Review // Troy Alistair – Troy Alistair

February 24, 2021 Trev

At the tail end of January, Taran Guest and fellow Troy Alistair band members took to the Carleton stage to celebrate the band's eponymous full-length release. People may recognize Taran as one of the founding members of the Halifax-based act Brothers. Guest has opted to assemble a band to bring… Read More

Monday Morning Mixdown // Bring on the Week – Mailbag Edition!

January 25, 2021 Trev

Jah'Mila - "Roots Girl" Long before the paradigm shifted due to this incessant virus, Jah'Mila traveled to Jamaica to record the video in support of her track "Roots Girl". This is a song that pays homage to Israel Vibration's "Rudeboy Shufflin", but twists the focus from a male protagonist to the titular female one. In… Read More

Trev’s Top 10 Favourite Albums (In No Particular Order) of 2020

January 4, 2021 Trev

Sarah Harmer – Are You Gone After a decade-long hiatus, Sarah Harmer made a triumphant return to our collective hearts early on in 2020. Are You Gone is something of a companion piece to her debut album You Were Here. Her sweet, folky lilt is a welcome sound to our ears — with poppy… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // Covid Continues edition….

December 8, 2020 Trev

It's been a bit since the last HAFILAX playlist, and we've finally made it to the tail end of 2020. It's not without its own surprises, like the return of Covid which has roared back in recent weeks. Due to this, we've shuttered live music venues and dialed things back substantially, but we're still bumping… Read More

Show Shots & Thoughts // Mav Karlo w/ OMBS @ The Derby Showbar // 11.12.20

November 16, 2020 Trev

Covid 19 has thrown a lot of things into disarray over the past 8-9 months, and for touring musicians, there hasn’t been much availability beyond live streams with which to reach their fanbase. It’s also thrown a sense of uncertainty into the mix for those attending any scheduled… Read More

Mav Karlo wraps quarantine and preps for his Atlantic Bubble tour

November 10, 2020 Trev

I had an opportunity to catch up with Mav Karlo’s Menno Versteeg on Tuesday evening. Menno was fresh off of the PEI ferry, en route to Charlottetown where he will kick off his “I drove here and slept in my car and also I only peed on the side of the road and quarantined for… Read More

Photo Gallery // Alan Doyle @ The Halifax Convention Centre

November 9, 2020 Trev

It was a balmy November night in Halifax when we visited the Halifax Convention Centre to catch Petty Harbour's own Alan Doyle, in the throes of his 2nd of 4 socially distanced and nearly sold-out shows. You could tell that he was as happy to be on stage as we were there to witness his… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // The Morning After Edition….

November 4, 2020 Trev

Welcome back to the latest installment of the Midweek Mixdown, and here's hoping that we have hit rock bottom of 2020, and now hopefully can begin the rebound with a more balanced Captain leading the ship that is the US of A. It's been a dreadfully long 2020 already, and this political rhetoric is downright… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // Music Unites Us All edition

October 21, 2020 Trev

Honestly, I don't recall a more exhausting year than 2020. From the ongoing struggle to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, to the battle to overcome systemic racism and inequality, it's been a year of upheaval and unrest. It would be fantastic to say that it's unnecessary, but unfortunately, that just isn't the case. People have time… Read More
