Happy International Women’s Day

March 8, 2018 Jeff

I hate that we have to have a day to celebrate women, but it's not because of the celebration, it's more that we should just celebrate half of the population on a daily basis! Women are incredible. They make this world go around. They also create kick ass music and we at Hafilax love kick… Read More

TBT // Concert Review // Fake Shark @ The Seahorse // 17.06.17

June 29, 2017 Trev

It’s hard to believe that it has been almost 2 weeks since Vancouver indie-pop band Fake Shark graced the Seahorse Tavern stages. It was the last stop on their cross-Canada trek, and what better room could you choose to wrap a tour? On the same bill were local favourites Dub Kartel and Party Boots, but… Read More

Concert Review w/Photos // USS w/ Repartee @ The Marquee // 21.01.17

January 30, 2017 Trev

As any self-assured music fan can attest, there are those acts who thrive in the studio, and those who thrive on stage in front of an audience. Yes, we can sit and debate the bands who manage to strike a balance between the two, but those bands will always have a strength in one of… Read More

Top 10 Albums of 2016 // Trev’s List

December 12, 2016 Trev

Growing up, December was always one of my favourite months as it meant the year-end issues of Rolling Stone, Spin, Blender and the countless other music mags published their yearly lists and picked their favourites from the past 12 months. Sadly, a lot of those publications have either shuttered, or gone to an online-only model.… Read More

Jeff’s Favourites From 2016

December 8, 2016 Jeff

It's that time of year again, where we get to sit back and let you know what our favourite albums were in 2016. As I do every year, I will declare that this is not a best of list. Music is much too subjective, and for anyone to sit and explain why one album is… Read More

Concert Review w/ Photos // Marianas Trench w/ Shawn Hook, Repartee, Janet Cull // Scotiabank Centre – 21.11.16

December 4, 2016 Trev

It’s hard to believe that it has almost been two weeks since Marianas Trench brought their The Last Crusade tour to the Scotiabank Centre here in Halifax. Fortunately, Halifax was one of the last shows of the opening string of dates on this tour due to Josh’s throat infection and subsequent scar tissue. The diagnosis… Read More

#HPX2016 Night 3 – Great Music on a Late Friday Night

November 2, 2016 Trev

When the initial line-up was released for Halifax Pop Explosion’s 2016 session, it included a well-known comic by the name of Cameron Esposito (who has appeared on @midnight a handful of times). However in the weeks leading up to the fest, Esposito had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts, and the HPX moved quickly to… Read More

Halifax Pop Explosion Preview Part 3 – The Hidden Gems of the Festival

October 17, 2016 Trev

It's hard to believe that the Halifax Pop Explosion is almost here for the 2016 iteration. It seems like only yesterday that folks were crammed into the Seahorse to watch the Cancer Bats rock the room to its core, or the crowd at the Carleton got to swoon over the folk-pop loveliness of Quiet Parade. … Read More
