Nice Horse is currently touring across Canada and we caught up with them before their show in Kitchener, Ontario on Tuesday, where they were opening for The Washboard Union. It’s been a while since Boots and Hearts 2017 when we chatted with Nice Horse last and there have been some changes. Most notably there’s been a […]
On October 19th, Toronto-based Birds of Bellwoods hit a momentous milestone. They released their first full-length album, Victoria. It’s been a five-year journey, one that we’ve been following pretty closely. We’re super excited for the band, and they’re pretty excited too. Their adventure has been dotted with numerous club shows, so many festivals, awards, recognition, over […]
Coheed and Cambria rolled into Toronto with their progressive metal sound on Thursday night for the Unheavenly Tour with Protest the Hero and Crown Lands. It was an all-ages show, and it was everything. The sixth show on the eight date Canadian leg was a special one because it served as the hometown show for […]
YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN’s Facebook about section describes the band as “a Noh-Wave prog collective, a black-and-white (and sometimes red) theatre company, an operatic psych cult, rock band and the speculative prophets of humanity’s impending doom.” That’s a lot to take in.

The band is made up of the unique combination of vocalist, guitarist, and erhu player Ashley Buchholz (aka Ash Boo-Schultz) and turntablist/hype man Jason “Human Kebab” Parsons. The boys started their careers in the west end of Toronto, […]
Last week I got the chance to spend some time hanging around the Gibson Guitar Lounge with Shae Dupuy. The reason for the hangout? Shae’s got a brand new EP out, it’s called Brave, it was released on October 28th and it’s outstanding! Brave‘s seven tracks include two previously released singles, Tin Man and Drink […]
Marianas Trench, the West Coast, Vancouver-based boys are back after a four-year hiatus, and we think it’s been worth the wait. Astoria, a 17 track album is everything you want in a Marianas Trench album and more. Never a band to shy away from letting us in, by the time we get to the end […]
The theory here is that Major League Baseball gets to show off a double header of play-off action on national TV. It means that 2 extra teams in the league are guaranteed at least 1 play-off ticket gate per season.
