Dregs, This Ship and Willie Stratton’s Pop Extravaganza: HPX 2014

November 3, 2014 Jeff

Part of the beauty of the Halifax Pop Explosion is that you can sometimes hit a show that contains very different, distinct sounds between the bands on the bill. Some of these line-ups work and some don't. Luckily for me Friday night's show at the Harbourview room at Casino Nova Scotia was one that was… Read More

Jeff’s Top 8 of 2013

December 17, 2013 Jeff

With more misses than hits, 2013 wasn’t the best of years for music but it also wasn’t the worst. As per usual there were albums which were supposed to be massive hits (Britney, Miley and Gaga) and some which fell just a tad short (Bowie, Daft Punk and JT) but no matter if you agree… Read More

Hafilax Does HPX 2013: Day #4 Preview

October 25, 2013 Justin

Hands down, my favorite day of the festival. Friday has a lot to offer with just so much happening at once. There is not one show I'm just gonna stick around to, I'm gonna be hitting every show. Starting the night off with Broken Deer & Braids @ St. Matthew's Church, these are too bands… Read More

Live Review: Michaels Bar & Grill, Oct. 4th, 2013

October 5, 2013 Jeff

Another night of live music in the books and another review filled with both good and not so great (There was really nothing bad about the show....just a few not so great moments). I arrived late and missed out on seeing Dave Fultz. I've only heard good things about his past performances and from what… Read More

One Track: The Cheap Speakers – “She Has a System”

September 11, 2013 Trev

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

The Road To Indie Week: Week 1

September 5, 2013 Jeff

September has rolled around once again, which means we can expect a dip in temperatures, leaves changing colours, the announcement of the Halifax Explosion lineup (I'll probably mention the HPX in each article from now until it begins...what can I say....it's a good time) and in its second year, The Road To Indie Week. Hosted… Read More

Live Review: August 16, 2013 – Lindsay Duncan, Willie Stratton, This Ship

August 19, 2013 Jeff

Before we even get to any of the music from the evening, I first need to fess up and admit that the show that I got was not the show I expected. Now don't get me wrong, the music I heard was good and if anything exceeded my expectations, after realizing where the gig was.… Read More

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

Live Review: The Nature Boys, This Ship, Colour Code & The Lucy Grays @ The Company House, March 23rd, 2013

March 26, 2013 Jeff

I can safely say that the independent music scene, in the Maritimes, is not only alive and kicking but is also really, smoking good. This past Saturday night I had the pleasure of attending a fantastic, musical escapade, put together by the talented Berserker Lion Music Collective (headed up by Bethany (more…) Read More
