Capturing buzz amongst the ever evolving Toronto rock scene has become seemingly effortless in recent time, akin to the early 90’s and Seattle based groups. However, in both situations, the value wasn’t behind capturing notice, it was maintaining the value behind the acclaim. After being casually clumped in with other Canadian bands of the time, [...]
Recently signing with NotCommon Records, God’s Temple of Family Deliverance deliver a doom-flavored stoner rock along the lines of a pissed off Kyuss. From the Houston based Menace of a Heartless Monster, original members Eric Faucette and Chris Ryan teamed with guitarist, Joey Pro, and bassist, Ted Conway, forming their new band, God’s Temple. With [...]
From the now defunct D.C. band Phaser, comes Boris Skalsky, aka Dead Heart Bloom. This initial release could possibly be the genesis of a musical apex, but Dead Heart Bloom’s eponymous release shows signs of fragility. In a January 2006 interview with Under The Radar magazine Skalsky disclosed his outlook on the future [...]
With a fan base that includes Andrew W.K. and fellow Canadians Nardwuar and Danko Jones, The Leather Uppers have achieved notoriety for both their stage show and their gritty, garage-revivalist sound. Forming in Toronto in 1991, “Classy” Craig Daniels and “Groovy” Greg Tymoshenko formed the duo as a reaction to the stagnant Toronto scene. With [...]
When thinking about bands I consider synth-rock, I can think of nothing but a sheik, slick looking group whose only concern in the world is figuring out which dealer to call. Rock Kills Kid fall far from this generalization however; with a history which includes personal isolation, homelessness and a line up which for [...]
With the surge of bands that drop anchor in Austin, Texas each year for the South By Southwest music festival comes an equal flood of skepticism. The platform can be the literal breaking point for those performing (past performers: Norah Jones, The Donnas, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Rufus Wainwright, and so forth), and has been spectacle [...]
The post punk indie that seems to have been pushed to the back of the line by the cool kids finds itself fighting back in form of the Oxford Collapse. The melodic, bass driven lines, shattered by spurts of shrieking guitar are reminiscent of a time when it was first becoming cool to stop the [...]

Run the Road 2’s release came as both a suprise and a gift to me. It was mere weeks ago that my fascination peaked in Lady Sovereign and I’ve been happily reaquainting myself with The Streets. Though RTR2 is solid and continues to inspire me to look for new grime, it doesn’t quite compare to [...]
Canada’s Chart Attack has called them the best live act in the country. From what I hear though, Toronto’s The Golden Dogs have a little buzz going on with their music too. Last year the band was pegged as the next big thing, with many likening them to the Arcade Fire. I don’t know that [...]
There are two things that jump into my mind when listening to Metaneonatureboy, the first being what I feel the music to be, and what I think Yerkey feels the music to be. Growing up, I really got off on using the term bastardization in terms of alternative music. I remember calling people out when [...]
Minneapolis’ The Plastic Constellations have received immense critical acclaim in recent years, including a recent mention on SPIN Online’s Band of the Day. Without knowing better, the band’s bio and interviews would leave you with a sinking feeling that this group of twenty somethings are nothing more than an American Sum 41 with tunes laced [...]
Recipients of the 2005 Cincinnati Music Award for Best Indie/Alternative Band, The Minni-Thins are essentially revivalists; in terms of what I always thought “alternative” meant. In modern indie music it’s brave of a band to step outside of the boundaries set up by modern trends. To do so and find acceptance and acclaim outside of [...]
Generally, I accept the notion that the first wave of psychedelia far exceeds anything that has been released after 1969. I honestly feel ashamed making the comparison to a gang of neo-garage rockers (who also began in Melbourne), but to give a brief explanation of The Morning After Girls‘ sound, I feel it necessary. The [...]
