Now we’ve always had a soft spot for the earnest rock & roll of Zeus here at the hill, but I know for certain many of you will be shelling out for the deluxe version of their last album Busting Visions. Why you ask? Well because as part of the deluxeness, Zeus is including a(…)
Happy family day and/or President’s Day to you! There’s no holiday here in Halifax, and despite a mild snowstorm that cancelled schools, I am on my grind (aka working! In an office! BALLLIN’). What’s getting me through another Monday you ask? Well it’s EYE, a delightful fuzzbomb of a record from Victoria, BC’s Babysitter. I’ve(…)
My father hails from Saint John (Nouveau Brunswick, so like Phil C’s jacket, there’s no “s” required), and as such, I’ve driven over the Reversing Falls many, many times in my life. Of course my father explained the Falls to me on pretty much each and every trip, but, despite this, I couldn’t make heads(…)
Here’s a fact about me: I love a good video premiere. I love it even more when it’s for a song that I think is completely fantastic and has an amazing video to boot. Melt from producer Ryan Stinson’s last EP FUTURA is both of those things and then some. As I said of this(…)
I don’t know about you, but there is absolutely nothing that tops my Thursday off like some soulful Prairie hip hop, so I was delighted to re-discover this here jawn (yeah, I said jawn, get off my lawn) from Calgary’s Dragon Fli Empire. I’ve enjoyed DFE for some time now, but Saskatoon-based producer Def-Chap is(…)
Although I know nothing of his back-catalog, I’m kind of addicted to this new Blake Carrington (Dynasty catfight link goes here) track. The Bernie Mac intro, staccato military drums from producer Ric Notes and Blake’s hungry, rapid-fire delivery are all working for me. The black & white video for the song, which is a frenetic(…)
If you’re in Halifax and in the mood for some raucous two-piece rock & roll, then I’d suggest you make your way to Michael’s on Thursday night where PS I Love You will be joined by Toronto’s Army Girls. Our fondness for PS I Love You is well-detailed in the Ack’s last post on their(…)
Ugh, have I ever mentioned that spring in Halifax is mighty god damn depressing? Well if I know you IRL, as the kids say, then surely you know I have, cause I love to bitch about it. Well we’re on our 3rd straight day of a rain & cool temperatures combo, so I could use(…)
What say we wrap up this Monday in Old School style, shall we? I mentioned KRS-One’s excellent-yet-odd “I Can’t Wake Up” last week in my review of mikedecline’s new album/mixtape. This Preemo-produced cut appeared on KRS’ 1993 debut solo album, and featured the Blastmaster telling a tale of a nightmare which revolved around a dream(…)
Do we all treasure the great Mike O’Neil? I think we should. Therefore, let’s all buy his new album Wild Lines when it comes out next year, ok? The first single, This Is Who I Am, is awesome and might well convince you to buy his album regardless of my blathering. Mike O’Neill – This(…)
