Follow us on Twitter!Review by Marie-Claire Denis This Saturday night was really packed with good shows in every venue in Montreal. Because I’ve already saw the Pretty Reckless back in 2011, I decided to go see the British duo The Ting Tings. The show started with the first song from their new record Sounds from Nowheresville, silence. So Katie White enters the stage [...]
Tribal, Saul-ful, and Rock & Roll By Myriam Richard Meeting with Saul Williams earlier for an interview, he had told me that one should expect to dance at his concert that he gave this past March 24, at La Tulipe. And dance is what the crowd did. Starting with the table spins from DJ Kidtronic. “The more you drink the [...]
Review and Photography by Marie Claire Denis When I entered the Metropolis last night, it really didn’t feel like we were a Wednesday night. The place was packed, honestly I’ve never saw the floor section that full of my life !!! At that point I already knew that it wouldn’t look anything like my usual rock show. The first thing [...]
Review by Marie-Lou Plante On April 3rd, if you were not at Feed Me’s sound mass, you missed something. As surprising as it could be, hipsters, muscles men, Skrillexfangirls and others head banged in a beautiful mess at the Club Soda. Darth Vader wearing a glow stick necklace? Why not. Deadmau5 or Pokemon hat? As long as you enjoy the [...]
Review by Steve K Huoratron: Cryptocracy I literally can’t get enough of this album. The songs here might not necessarily be recognized as “music” by mainstream listeners; this one is pure, cutting-edge of Big Beat Electronica. Diverse digital noises are looped into repeating patterns and then layered together, creating a mosaic of sound that evokes rhythms and progressions all its [...]
Review by Steve K To make up for not getting a column in last week, here’s a mini bundle of three reviews, from three very different artists, with three very different albums. Soulfly: Enslaved Phoenix-based Soulfly hit back hard on their eighth release, ‘Enslaved’. This album is Metal perfection, with Richter-scale percussions, complex, mathematically precise progression and changes, and a [...]
Review by Steve K The Mars Volta: Noctorniquet The grim, Bardic song-tales of the Mars Volta turn their attention inwards for a horrifying glimpse into inevitable, personal and interpersonal mortality on this disc. The masterful composition evokes this Discordia at all levels: The drumming sounds and feels in the ear like an arrhythmic heartbeat; the malaise flows like blood in [...]
Review by Steve K Primal Rock Rebellion: Awoken Broken This is a “Jam Rock” album; veteran Rock musicians Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden, and Mike Goodman from SikTh get together to just rock out, come up with some songs and put their own distinct touches on them. The tracks here are really great; enjoyable and obviously crafted and played with [...]
Review by Steve K Celebrity Traffic: We Bleed Blood This is one of those albums that I’ve had a hard time making my mind up about; I’m not sure if I like it, or not. First and easiest sticking point out of the way: No metadata on my disc. So once again when I rip the music to my MP3 [...]
Pictures by Marie-Claire Denis Review by Lili-Anh Le Minh On February 23rd, Simple Plan did their first big Bell Center comeback since 2008. This time, they brought along fellow Canadian bands These Kids Wear Crowns and Marianas Trench as well as American band All Time Low; a pretty amazing lineup in my eyes and I’m sure most of the fans [...]
