POSTFUN fuses pop music and storytelling in upcoming debut single ‘When the Wind Shifts’

October 13, 2020 Teri Boates

POSTFUN, a new indie-pop project in Halifax, will be releasing their debut single ‘When the Wind Shifts’ on October 24th. POSTFUN unofficially began in 2017 when Jack Murtha, creator of POSTFUN, started a high school co-op at Coda Pop Studios. It was there he first recorded his own music. “I’ve always admired artists who record… Read More

Album Review // Braden Lam – Inside Four Walls

October 2, 2020 Trev

In reading the press release ahead of the release of Braden Lam’s brand-new EP Inside Four Walls, you’d almost think you would need to reach for the black eyeliner and hair-dye, and while the album deals with that transition from the idyllic grandeur and endless possibility of adolescence to the ‘sundry limitations’ of adulthood, it’s… Read More

One Track // Braden Lam – “Forest Fires”

September 18, 2020 Trev

https://youtu.be/ykR82HDnDk4 In a year that has been largely unprecedented, leave it to Braden Lam to lay out the horrifying truth about our environment in a catchy, folky earworm. His latest single paints a bleak, terrifying, and sadly not untrue picture of where things stand at present. Just flip the news on, and you'll be hard… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // The ‘Can we turn it down a little?’ Edition

September 11, 2020 Trev

In looking back at what used to comprise my high school soundtrack, and what I currently gravitate towards, I have to chuckle, as I completely understand when my mother asked if we could turn down "those screeching guitars". I also know that as the elder-statesman of the HAFILAX crew, I am the one with a… Read More

Album Review // Campfire Chords – Arkells

August 20, 2020 Trev

2020 has been quite the year, as we somehow found ourselves mired in the darkest of timelines. A leveling of society that is unlike anything we've seen before. Fortunately, there is a band that is more than ready to toss their growing fanbase a flashlight to get them through the back third of 2020. Max,… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // Musical Mailbag Edition

August 18, 2020 Trev

As I sit down to sift through our overflowing inbox, I wanted to share some of the fantastic tunes that came through the HAFILAX front desk. Hope everyone has been finding some sort of stride during these unusual and interesting times. Let's dive into the mailbag, shall we? Gary Beals - "Me for Me" https://youtu.be/sTOoq73p2Ho… Read More

Midweek Mixdown Side B – Headphone Bops

August 13, 2020 Trev

As the last collection of tunes carried a great deal of weight with them, and rightfully so, I wanted to add a more upbeat Side B. Just tunes that are bops, that keep me grooving as I mask up and head out to run errands. These tunes certainly help take the edge off while out… Read More

One Track // Braden Lam – Habit of My Heart

August 9, 2020 Trev

Braden Lam - "Habit of my Heart" https://youtu.be/goV6FZEVrZc It's no secret to readers of HAFILAX, that we dig the hell out of local singer-songwriter Braden Lam, and that affection has only grown with each performance. This is a great breezy slice of pop-rock, in which he shares in his recent nuptials, as the video is… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // 2020….Rise Up and Mask Up! (Side A)

August 6, 2020 Trev

A strange consequence of these unprecedented times is that time has somewhat depreciated in value. This is due in large part to things having come to a screeching halt, and only recently starting to try and rev back up, and the grooves that we have worn over the past couple of months have taken a… Read More

Rootabagga’s debut album ‘Abby Normal’ is anything but ordinary

July 20, 2020 Teri Boates

Welcome to the world of Rootabagga, where the unorthodox is celebrated. Halifax’s only fan-dubbed “wiggle rock” band released their debut album ‘Abby Normal’ on July 18th. But don’t let the title confuse you: ‘Abby Normal’ is anything but ordinary. It blends hardcore and carnival music with moments of funk, metal, pop, and emo. The vocals… Read More
