February 21, 2020 Trev

In most romantic comedies, towards the end of the redemption arc, we are treated to a montage crafted from the misadventures that one of the love interests endures on their way to the happy ending. Usually during these scenes and montages there is that catchy pop/rock tune playing in the background—this trope was largely popularized… Read More

Beauts – Waves/Wash EP Review

June 13, 2016 Jeff

On their latest EP outing, Waves/Wash, local Halifax rockers Beauts waste no time in setting the tone in what proves to be a solid four-song blast of fuzzed-out, indie -rock.
