Mondays, ugh, etc. A long weekend is coming, but it is not coming near fast enough. This calls for something to assist the rest of this day in going on it’s merry way. For me, nothing does that trick quite like cranked guitars and a good sing along chorus or two. Toronto’s Navy Skies offers(…)
Bravestation have a new EP entitled IV ready to see the light of day next week. This is a band I’ve been fond of for a few years now, but why should you care? Well, if you head out into the springtime sunshine with the lovely sounds of their new single Somewhere We Belong bouncing(…)
Are we the only music site to have reviewed albums from both Muneshine and Hannah Georgas? After doing exactly zero research on this question, I’m going to go ahead and say yes, yes we are. So a Muneshine remix of a Hannah Georgas song is the kind of thing that fits squarely in our wheelhouse,(…)
If you’ve ever lived in Halifax for a full cycle of seasons, there’s a good chance that you agree with this assertion: spring here is the worst. Sure, winter’s cold, etc and so on, but spring, spring seems to last for an eternity here. It is forever withholding summer’s warmth from us in an extended(…)
Lists are fun; pretty much everyone loves a good list. But no one loves a list like music sites, who use the things to generate “controversy” and fuel their hit habit, love a list. So it’s no surprise to see a site like CBC Music jump into the fray with their recent, completely arbitrary, list(…)
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(…)
A quick perusal of the hill will show I’ve always enjoyed the work of Halifax’s multi-talented A.A. Wallace, so news of an impending debut full-length release in May is welcome news indeed. As a taste of what’s to come, A.A. has released a new single entitled This Can Heal in original and extra remixy flavours(…)
I must admit I’m not familiar with The Procussions actual music. I’ve heard the name mentioned plenty of times, usually in fairly reverential terms by underground hip hop enthusiasts. I’ve also heard a number of songs from 1/2 of the group, Mr J. Medeiros (even reviewing him back in aught-seven) and I’m vaguely familiar with(…)
If some mountain-climber-who-plays-an-electric-guitar type A&R dude (word to the GZA) were to come to me and say “Shane, I need a young, up & coming group for airplay on Canadian Urban Radio, stat!”, who would I recommend? Well, my actual answer would be more along the lines of “Who is this & how did you(…)
I was looking for something a little different to post today, and Citizen Sound’s Police State was the winner by a mile. Citizen Sound is otherwise known as Toronto’s Aram Scaram, a DJ, producer and podcaster with an obvious passion for reggae and dub styles. Now reggae and dub are not commonplace here on the(…)
