I was lucky enough to spend the day with Ash Koley. Don’t get it wrong people; Ash Koley is a band. Two very amazing people who really do have their jobs at heart. Meet here in this interview, Ashley and Phil. They’ve been all across the city to meet different media people and it has been very interesting to witness [...]

Written by Melissa Payette For as long as I can remember, OK Go has been that awesome band who made a music video on treadmills. It’s the reason I discovered their music years ago and why I became interested in learning more about them. When they announced a show in Montreal for the first time in years, I jumped at [...]

Hail The Villain, who officially took the name in 2006, formed in Oshawa, Ontario when longtime friends Bryan Crouch and Chad Taylor met up with Joseph Stamp. After changing their original drummer, they now have a current lineup of those three members plus Flavio Cirillo.

Early this fall, I had the opportunity to chat with Elliot Desgagnés, Beneath The Massacre’s lead vocalist.  They are a technical death metal band from Montreal.  Formed in 2004, the band sure has gone through a lot, but also has much more in store for their growing fan base.  Elliot was happy to share it all with CONFRONT.  For those [...]

Jonas Tomalty has gotten quite a bit of success in the past few years as a solo artist. However, it was never a solo project, as you’ll be able to understand later in the interview.

– CONFRONT: Pour commencer, je vais retourner dans le passé un peu. Est-ce que je pourrais avoir un peu d’histoire de Karkwa? LOUIS-JEAN: Histoire de Karkwa? Karkwa.com! *rires* CONFRONT : Ouais mais plus poussé que ce qui est sur le site? LOUIS-JEAN : On a commencé un band en ’97-’98 pour un concours qui s’appelle Cégep en Spectacle. Et on se retrouvait [...]

– Las Vegas band Escape The Fate have gone through a lot since they formed in 2004. Having lost their singer to legal issues right before they were thrown into the studio for their second album, they had Craig Mabbitt fill in and he finally be an important part of the band since along with Max Green (bass), Monte Money [...]

  GWAR: Bloody Pit of Horror I didn’t think it was possible, but GWAR have degenerated into sad self-parody.  Featuring gross-out lyrics and vulgarities to make the average adolescent reader of Fangoria cream their jeans, GWAR just don’t even seem to be trying to achieve anything more substantial than Cryptkeeper-with-Tourette’s impersonations on these songs.
