FOR THE LOVE OF METAL
Brant Bjork used to be a summertime staple in Toronto. Back when NXNE took over every live music venue in town, he would play here once a year…
The press release for this record was all talking about how this is Brant Bjork’s most political album yet, cuz apparently you gotta be…
There was not a dud to be found in last night’s lineup, with all four bands complementing each other nicely while not sounding exactly the same. And suffice to say, a PJK-era COC revival was met with much enthusiasm; it’s been a while since I’ve seen so many crowdsurfers at a concert!
Well OK, maybe I can. But either way, Vista Chino put on a pretty solid set at The Phoenix last night.
Hellbound Metal: “The bare bones are still there, you get the sense that this is vaguely familiar, but in the end, it’s probably for the best that they didn’t slap the old name on here, cuz it definitely pales by comparison.”
