Cut it out your self inflicted pain is getting too routine, the crowd is catching on to the self inflicted song… Yes it’s probably true. Almost 10 years from when that song was released we might be on to them. But the formula works, and the frenzied crowd at the Horseshoe Tavern on Saturday ate up every second of Tim Kasher spitting out his angst and anger over Cursives dissonant crash of guitars, drums, and the odd trumpet.

Last week I had the great pleasure of seeing Montreal’s bombastically named Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra at Lee’s Palace in Toronto. In short, the show was fantastic. I dragged along two friends who had never heard of the band before, and … Continue reading

A couple of week I decided to go watch Oshawa alt-country rockers Cuff The Duke at Starlight on a recommendation of a friend. I didn’t know anything about the band in advance, but going in I sure wasn’t expecting a … Continue reading

I’m always cautious about seeing an young and extremely hyped band live, as deep down I’m afraid they won’t be able to live up to their reputation, and the mysterious Manchester four piece WU LYF have been one of the most … Continue reading

Back at the end of July I road tripped over to Montreal for the Osheaga music festival. Of the numerous awesome bands that littered the lineup one of my suprise finds was relatively new Toronto three-piece Freedom Or Death. They … Continue reading

What more could you ask for on an early saturday evening than some intimate indie-folk and just a little bit of old school rock and roll in a tiny cafe shared with about 15 other people?
