City & Colour @ The Scotiabank Centre – 29.11.19

December 6, 2019 Trev

Dallas Green is no stranger to the Maritime provinces of Canada, much like he wrote on “Comin’ Home” from his debut record. Sometimes, “I've been through Nova Scotia, Sydney to Halifax/I'll never take any pictures ‘cause I know I'll just be right back”. A week ago, his cross-Canada tour reached its final stop here in… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Matt Mays w/ Skye Wallace @ The Rebecca Cohn – 11.15.2019

November 20, 2019 Trev

There are homecoming shows, then there is what transpired at the Rebecca Cohn auditorium this past Friday and Saturday night. Matt Mays and company rolled into town at the tail end of the Howl at the Night tour and proceeded to transform the storied but staid traditional theatre experience into a rollicking Shore Club rocker… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // The Offspring & Sum 41 @ The Scotiabank Centre – 12.11.2019

November 15, 2019 Trev

There are entire industries built around the pursuit of eternal youth, be it pharmaceutical, fashion, or cosmetic. People have long hunted for the Fountain of Youth, and much like Ponce de Leon before them, the dream has always been eroded by the sands of time. We all have these moments, that we would love to… Read More

Daniel Romano // The Seahorse Tavern // 13.11.2019

November 14, 2019 Mitch

I've been on the ride with Daniel Romano for quite a while now. Each album falls into different genres ranging from '60s Psych-Pop on "Modern Pressure", to twangy country on "Sleep Beneath The Willows". So, walking into the Seahorse for the Juno award winning artists show, I ensured to not set any standards for what… Read More

Midnight Vesta Return with Complicated Pony

November 11, 2019 Jeff

After a solid year of touring and writing, Toronto based quartet, Midnight Vesta spent much of 2019 locked away in a recording studio. With each member being directly involved in the song writing process, the yet to be named album brought a new life to the group. "With Seconds (the bands 2017 release) we were… Read More

Arsoniste – “Gravity” – Single Release!

November 8, 2019 Mitch

After a busy weekend, jam packed with Halifax Pop Explosion and Hal-Con, I was lucky enough to catch a minute with the exceptional singer/songwriter Rachel Sunter (better known for her stage name Arsoniste). Hanging out in a beautiful attic recording studio while Sunter enjoyed an appetizer of Indian food, we got to discuss her new… Read More

TBT // Show Thoughts & Shots // Arkells w/ Mother Mother & Haviah Mighty @ The Scotiabank Centre – 26.10.2019

November 7, 2019 Trev

On October 26th, 2019, Halifax finally ended its two and a half year Arkells drought. The band made its triumphant return to the Scotiabank Centre, a room they last played alongside their pals Frank Turner and the Sleepless Souls. At that time, you could see that the band was starting to ascend to the top… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Adam Baldwin & Friends @ The Marquee – 05.10.2019

November 6, 2019 Trev

In early October, Adam Baldwin rounded up some pals and band mates, and hit the Marquee Ballroom stage to perform some of the tracks off of his recent EP No Rest for the Wicked and countless fan favourites. This is a room that Baldwin has played countless times, either on his own, or alongside longtime… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // Trev’s HPX 2019 Hangover

November 1, 2019 Trev

Last weekend saw two thirds of the HAFILAX team venue hopping for a few days, catching as many shows as humanly possible. We crossed the city more than once, hitting most of the venues involved in this year's Pop Explosion, and I will have some posts up shortly with my thoughts on last weekend's massive… Read More

Halifax Pop Explosion 2019 \\ Review & Photo Gallery Through Mitch’s Eyes

October 30, 2019 Mitch

With sore feet and tired eyes comes the end of Halifax Pop Explosion 2019. I would venture to say that it was physically impossible to fit more fun in a weekend. This magnificently curated lineup could have been cherry-picked right from my most-played on Spotify. The lineup was nothing short of diverse, and had top… Read More
