One Track: “Victoria” – Tamara Williamson – Indie

January 28, 2015 Trev

Inspiration doesn't usually call ahead and schedule an appointment, it is a fickle beast and can sneak up at any given point and strike unexpectedly. All that you can really do, is be open to the opportunity and grasp hold. Such is the case with songwriter and chanteuse Tamara Williamson and her track "Victoria". As told to HAFILAX, Tamara was driving her son…Read More

One Track :: XP Da X – “I Never Left” – 1Way Music

January 22, 2015 Trev

http://youtu.be/gQ8oX8J8J2c Having been a music critic for well over a decade, it's hard to turn off the critical setting which has been hard-coded on my brain and it makes it increasingly difficult to engage that smile setting. There are those moments when I hear something and it immediately hits that spot and a smile spreads…Read More

One Track: The Tea Party, “Water’s On Fire”

November 19, 2014 Justin

Back in the peak of the 90s, The Tea Party were one of the few bands at the forefront of Canadian hard rock music. They were kinda the odd kid in town bringing in influences from the middle east with such instruments as sitars, harps and goblet drums in their music. They really stood out…Read More

One Track: Rich Aucoin, “Yelling In Sleep”

August 6, 2014 Justin

Just thought I'd throw some more love towards the Rich Aucoin camp, and in support of his upcoming album, "Ephemeral". This is the latest track, it's called "Yelling In Sleep", and I'll have to admit, it's pretty bad ass. The song opens with some distorted like bass, and just charges into the chorus like some…Read More

One Track: Kestrels, “The Moon is Shining Our Way”

July 23, 2014 Justin

A little late on the ball to be hitting up this track, but nonetheless Halifax's Kestrels' newest song from their latest "The Moon Is Shining Our Way" EP is worth mentioning after a month after it's release. It's a very shiny noise-rock track, with a similar vibe of bands like Japandroids, Cheatahs, and to a…Read More

One Track: The New Pornographers, “War On The East Coast”

July 16, 2014 Justin

The latest single, from Vancouver's The New Pornographers are bringing the "War On The East Coast" off of their upcoming LP, Brill Bruisers. This song is a little harder than their usual power-pop hits, which I am liking already. You can hear the track here on HAFILAX & Halifax Bloggers dot com... http://youtu.be/WMcumbSMY_8Read More

One Track: Braids, “Deep Running”

May 5, 2014 Justin

Here's the latest track from the atmospheric indie-rock band, Braids. It has this really groovy reggae, summer beat to the song, and also has this familiar feel that is reminiscent of their last album, Flourish // Perish, that was just released last year. It kinda makes me wonder if this was a song that they…Read More

One Track: July Talk, “Summer Dress”

May 3, 2014 Justin

Hot off the press is the latest July Talk track, "Summer Dress". This video mixes the attitude of Peter Dreimanis, and the sexiness of Leah Fay in this power punching blues-rock song. Props to the director for the "best use of pillow" in this video, nothing could ever be cooler. Be sure to check out…Read More

One Track: SoHo Ghetto, “One At A Time”

April 24, 2014 Justin

After checking out one of their shows at the East Coast Music Week, for the Buyer's Showcase, I came across their youtube video that was showing some of the highlights of the band at the music festival. It was a good video, that showed the band that they were enjoying themselves during the week, but…Read More
