Midweek Mixdown // The Edition That is Long Overdue

September 4, 2019 Trev

It's hard to believe that we've whipped through the summer season here in Halifax, but here we are at the precipice of another school year, with hurricanes churning up the shore, and the influx of students and back to schoolers streaming into town. We need to hunker down, and let the fury of the next…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack :::: Alternative Edition

May 31, 2019 Justin

Is it just me? Or is alternative rock the new jazz? I'm saying only a select few listen to it, but we know that back in it's heyday, it was the thing that people couldn't stop talking about it everywhere. Nowadays, it's harder to come by, but still mainly appreciated. Anyway, I thought I'd make…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.

Trev’s Best Albums of 2018

Album Review // Arkells – Rally Cry

November 6, 2018 Trev

In the history of the music industry, there are plenty of bands who have tried to extend their relevance well beyond their third and fourth albums.

Friday Night Soundtrack // We Made it Through the Week!

August 31, 2018 Trev

The Interrupters - "She's Kerosene" While I don't know if I've completely overcome my Ska Fever of the early '00s, I do dig the punk-forward sound of the latest cut from The Interrupters, "She's Kerosene". It's a dose of up-tempo aural caffeine that will be a great fit for your early morning soundtrack. https://youtu.be/Yq2jJLswL8I Dennis…Read More
