How shall we see off this Tuesday? With dancing of course, and the Whaleskin remix of A.A. Wallace’s Shake It Out will do rather nicely.

Considering how many people contributed to the Gordon Lightfoot project, it’s not surprising that a few missed the deadline. It’s to be expected, especially when you are asking people to record covers on their own time and their own dime. Considering that he’s become a road warrior – and actually had to try to [...]
Simple transference dictates that if we love Noyes records and we absolutely adore Cousins, we should love any chemical reaction involving the two entities. Last week, the new Cousins 7″ hit the streets as part of the Noyes 7″ series and after Dog Day crushed the first installment, the bar was set high for Cousins. [...]
There was a time when pop punk wasn’t a bad word and buzzsaw guitar and sing-along choruses didn’t seek refuge at Hot Topic outlets. Records were found by zine mail orders or cheap comps handed out at shows. Before bands like Simple Plan were shitting out songs for tweens, The Lillingtons, The Queers, Good Riddance [...]
In the immortal words of Kamaal Ibn John Fareed, Jazz, (We’ve Got). In fact, starting this weekend, we shall have all of the Jazz. The 25th Anniversary edition of the Halifax Jazzfest kicks off this weekend, and does so in fine style. Not only will there be a Jazz-party cruise featuring much-loved Halifax klezmer-funketeers Gypsophilia [...]
With the fantastic bit of news that exploded the internet yesterday, we figured it was time to get off our collective asses and post the grainy, not yet edited videos we have from Dan Mangan‘s visit to herohill for our inaugural house show.

Summer finally hit Nova Scotia. Temperatures shot up and the smell of grilled meat filled the air as it wafted across rooftops. It’s obvious, but lazy afternoons and evenings spent on back decks need a soundtrack as tear in your beer confessions take their place alongside the bottles of red in the cellar. Enter Halifax’s [...]
I know I must say this often, because I’m even getting tired of hearing/writing it but “live band hip hop” is a tricky thing to pull off. One of the main reasons for this is that I think some outfits have trouble capturing the sound & energy of their live shows in a recorded format. [...]
I’m sure we’ll have a proper review of their new EP (Atlantic, on Cascine Records) posted soon, but I’ve been bumping Night Is Young from Halifax’s Southern Shores all morning, so I thought I’d share it. Enjoy the 90′s R&B instrumentally goodness of this one.
