Watford, England hardcore punk outfit Gallows are a determined lot. After the departure of front-man and founding memeber Frank Carter in 2011, many fans were concerned this would signal the end of the group. Instead, Carter went off to do his own thing in Pure Love while the group went in search of a new [...]
Although I can’t say I’ve been on board for a long time (not for lack of interest but for lack of knowledge) but I’m quietly a big Fucked Up fan. The Toronto hardcore punk group has garnered accolades and even won the prestigious Polaris Music Prize in 2009 for their album the Chemistry of Common Life. This [...]
This week, Muse released their latest video for “Follow Me” off of this years album the 2nd Law. This video just makes me want to see them live again. Really badly. Although I’m not thoroughly blown away by the 2nd Law, this is a great track that would be even better if it were a [...]
So, the dust has settled. The rumours were kinda true. Paul McCartney took to the stage at MSG last night for the 12.12.12 Concert for Hurricane Sandy Relief and he did in fact play with Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear. According to McCartney, he did in fact jam with the three recently and [...]
Well, this is one way to wake a sleeping beast. After months of neglecting this site, I’ve decided now is the time to re-emerge and tell you about a rumour regarding tonight’s 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy Relief concert. According to the UK tabloid the Sun, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear will reunite as Nirvana [...]
Canada’s rock darlings the Tragically Hip released a new single last month called “At Transformation”, the first track from a new album supposedly titled And Now for Plan A set for a fall release. Last week, the band revealed the music video for the track which not only features vocalist Gord Downie reciting the opening [...]
I needed something music related to get super excited about. Lately it’s been milk, bread, cycling, movies, television, cigarettes (if you can guess what this mock-up reference is from, you’re a friend of mine). In case you hadn’t heard, Muse are coming out with a new album this year. We now know it’s going to [...]

More than a day after hearing the sad news of MCA‘s passing, it’s still a tough pill to swallow. I’ll be honest here; I was moved to tears yesterday. I’ve always been a big fan of the Beastie Boys but I never thought Adam Yauch‘s passing would affect me this much. Watching all the tributes [...]
I never thought I would be affected like this. I received the awful news of Adam Yauch‘s (AKA MCA of the Beastie Boys) passing within the hour and I’ve been super bummed. I only wish I could keep it together to give him a proper tribute but all I’ve got is this: R.I.P. Adam. You [...]
I don’t know much about Halifax’s the Stanfields, but after hearing this track I’m pretty hyped to hear more! The video is an interesting mix of war portrayal, live footage and the glorification of war in children but the message the song delivers is truly what’s most important here. The group embarked on a quick [...]
Admittedly, I’m a pretty big fan of animated music videos and equally big on St. John’s, NL group Hey Rosetta! They’re quite simple a otherwise hidden gem the likes of Wintersleep and one of those bands that I desperately hope continues to gain enough attention so that people perk up and take notice but not [...]
Written by: Chris Andrade Calgary’s independent music community suffered a great loss this week when musician Chris Reimer of the group Women passed away suddenly in his sleep on Tuesday. Having been largely absent from the local scene here in Calgary the past few years, I never got the chance to see Women live. I [...]
David Lee Roth sure knows how to weave a fantastic tale and answers the age-old question, Is it true that Van Halen forced promoter to remove all brown M&Ms from the backstage area? (Thanks Show for the tip-off); Van Halen are about to embark on a tour starting February 18th in Louisville, KY that will [...]

Early reports from sources quoted on CNN state that R&B/reality star Ray J, who has recently been spotted with Houston in Hollywood, Houston’s bodyguard found her body at the Beverly Hilton hotel [...]
Lovingly Written By: Andy Stewart Fuck you, Black Keys. Fuck. You. Fuck you for making 99% of my music collection obsolete with the release of El Camino. Fuck you for making me have to sit through 37 minutes and 42 seconds of you guys reminding me that you’re better than everyone else. Fuck you for [...]
