Everything All the Time is an adorable electro-indiepop band that are releasing a new EP on October 23 and right now you can listen to it on their myspace page. The songs on their new EP range from very catchy, almost bubble gum pop of I Get So Hot to quirky and electronic sound in Lazy Days, a song which reminds me a lot of Architecture in Helsinki. The strongest element of the band is the ...

Today's post read:"7:20 PM. Post pasta overload. Wondering what would happen if one decided to “rough it” in a mountain cabin with some duct tape, a cooking dish, and a copy of Julia Child’s best known wor

When I posted about Bandwidth the other day I left out something important. Next month Amanda Putz, the host of Bandwidth, is putting together a mixtape for Canadians in Afghanistan. Don't get all political about it - my first inclination was to request If God's On Your Side by Danny Michel, but that is entirely the wrong vibe. This isn't about the war. It's not about Canadian policy in Afghani...

Ok sure, people who go to Sunparlour Players shows may, very possibly, just want to see Andrew Penner crash (be there when he finally pushes himself over the edge and collapses on stage) but most Sunparlour Players fans I know became fans at live shows first - it's just something you need to do and they are launching a cross Canada tour in Charlottetown on the 27th. They've made this little vid...

You might know them better as Nathan Lawr and the Minotaurs but while Nathan is still part of the band the Nathan Lawr and the has been dropped from the name and it's just the Minotaurs who are getting set to release not one but two new albums. According to Lawr the first album the Thing is an "afrobeat/orchestra/pop-type thing" and the second Distant Siren is a "Sudbury, psychedelic/blues jam"...

I was browsing through my Twitter feed this morning and found this little exchange between k-Os and K'naan, arguably Canada's two best-known MCs.Drake, in case you haven't heard, is probably THE best-known Canadian MC, at least south of the border. The one-time Degrassi star is, apparently, being touted as the next big thing in hip-hop, coming up under the wing of Lil Wayne and starring on trac...

Charlottetown's The Sidewalks haven't been around for long, but they've been making big waves on the Atlantic coast with their hard rocking style of ska music.

The band st...

(First of all: wow. Electro-dance music live. So much better than the recorded stuff. The show last night was a great continuation after seeing Champion and His G-Strings at Rifflandia.)Now I admit up front I knew neither Dragonette nor Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees well going in to the concert and had little to no expectations. Rebekah Higgs of Ruby Jean is mentioned quite frequently on Nx...
