In a few short weeks an indie-rock outfit by the name of The Cheap Speakers will be storming the stages of The Company House with their brand of fuzzed-out indie retro power-pop. The band is headed out in support of their debut album Switches and Levers which dropped back in March. "She Has a System"…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – September 5, 2013: Frosh Week Edition

September 6, 2013 Jeff

So it appears that, once again, the summer has come and gone as quickly as it always has. Gone are the 30 degree days, the late night sunsets, and those even later nights sitting around the fire with a beer in hand. But all of that can only mean one thing....Fall is right around the…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – August 30th, 2013

August 30, 2013 Jeff

And just like that the summer is finished. It might have taken it's time getting here, but it wasted no time in leaving. With a slew of summer shows under the belt, it's time to take aim at what lies ahead. Fall usually tends to bring some decent acts through the Maritimes and of course…Read More

One Track: Metz, “Wasted”

August 24, 2013 Justin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6qGeNVwwfw Whoa, I think I just blew a gasket listening to this song. These guys are absolutely sick, and not just this song, their whole self-titled album that was released sometime a year ago. It's literally on frequent repeat, as I enjoy it's crunchy guitars, and it's screaming drowned out vocals. I hate to make…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack, (HPX 2013 Edition)

August 16, 2013 Justin

With the overwhelming line-up of artists/bands playing at Halifax Pop Explosion 2013, I thought I'd make an intitial list of must sees for this year's festival. Of course, my list of must sees will probably change, as we have yet to see some of the non-headliners to make the line-up. But more than likely I'll…Read More

One Track: MGMT, “Your Life Is A Lie”

August 13, 2013 Justin

http://youtu.be/Cye-1RP5jso If there's one band that has been on everyone's radar, it's MGMT. After the popular "Oracular Spectacular!, spawning such hits as "Electric Feel", "Kids", "Time To Pretend", everyone's looking for the next new hit. But after the underwhelming release of "Congratulations", expectations don't seem so high, but there's always room surprise, this is MGMT…Read More

One Track: Paper Lions, “My Friend”

August 6, 2013 Justin

I'm actually excited for the release of Paper Lion's latest album, My Friends, which gets it's official release August 20th. After listening their earlier teaser, "Philadelphia", back in May, the Paper Lions drop us what appears to be their official first single off the album, "My Friend".

July 31, 2013 Jeff

With All The Stars & Elements, (the band's first major EP) the Halifax foursome This Ship have created an absolute gem of an album. Whereas most acts rely heavily on distorted guitars and two-minute lead breaks, ATSAE (more…)Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – July 27th, 2013

July 27, 2013 Jeff

So I finally got around to finally watching Django Unchained this evening, and although it wasn't my favourite Tarantino film, I still did enjoy it (for the record I think my dislike for Jamie Foxx is what took away from this movie). The other part of the film which I wasn't crazy about was the music. As…Read More
