I’m slippin’. Must be all that Zima I’m sippin’. Homo Duplex – the sonic and stylistic fusion of husband and wife duo Kristina Parlee and Ron Bates – is one of my favorite local acts and somehow they’ve been streaming their contribution to the Noyes 7″ series for almost two months and I didn’t notice.(…)
Last month, we threw on our houndstooth caps, grabbed our magnifying glasses and sleuthed the shit out of “The Case of the Missing Mardeen.” After an unfortunate disappearing act, the Cape Breton rockers are back in full swing and just offered up another new song, “Paperbag”, that talks of shirtless dudes, drinking beers from paper(…)
I don’t know about you, but in my humble, We Didn’t Know, the first single from Toronto’s Fire X Fire (which is Fire By Fire I do believe) is just about perfect Friday afternoon fair. This four-piece, comprised of folks from Ketch Harbour Wolves and The Framework, have an album coming out on August 14th,(…)
I know the sun has finally come out in force today here in Halifax, but Devon Sproule is playing the Carleton tonight with Mike O’Neill and this is likely going to be worth venturing inside for. O’Neill is of course a longtime Hill fave, and the enigmatic Sproule looks, or rather, sounds, like a talent(…)
It’s Wednesday, and the temperature is still hovering around the Mendoza Line-esque 10 degrees it’s been near all week, so I’d say we need a little something to give us a jolt, wouldn’t you agree? Even if, like the Ack on his T.O. biz trip, you’re in warmer climes, just go along with my premise,(…)
Due to the Ack travelling for work and a busy day here in the ‘fax for me, we’ve gone post-less so far today. Well that just won’t do, so I went searching through our emails for something catchy to close the day out with. I came up with All Lies, the new single from T.O.(…)
![D-Sisive – Adam [rip.mca 1964-2012]](http://www.herohill.com/wordpress_hh/wp-content/themes/elemin/themify/img.php?src=http://www.herohill.com/wordpress_hh/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/adam.jpg&w=100&h=)
“The Beastie Boys were my Beatles.” This is how D-Sisive introduces his heartfelt tribute to Adam Yauch. Now some might perceive such a statement to be cliche or overblown, but I can tell you for a fact that it isn’t. For white kids who loved hip hop in the 80′s and 90′s, there is roughly(…)
As a rule, I pretty much love blissed-out, hypnotic, sax-filled jams, so I was already going to enjoy “By and By”, the new single from Edmonton’s Renny Wilson, but throw in a sexy jeans & gyration-filled, self-shot video, and you can set the Friday Fun meter to 10+++. Renny (aka René) Wilson has formerly released(…)
Young roots rocker(s) Kalle Mattson (the guy or band? I thought they were a band before, perhaps not now?) is/are back with a new EP entitled Lives In Between. If the catchy, earnest sounds on display on the first single “Water Falls” are any indication (bonus points as always for the horn-laced outro), Kalle Mattson(…)
What’s that, your new single is produced by DITC legend Buckwild and features mad scratched-in Chuck D vocal samples? Well that’s an auto-post around these parts, so have yourself a listen below to “Lower Level”, the first single from TO-based MC/Producer Muneshine’s long-awaited new album There Is Only Today. As I mentioned, it has a(…)
