  • RIFFS NOT RIOTS @ Fortune Sound Club, Vancouver BC, July 13, 2011

    “While the Stanley Cup Riot of 2011 will be neither forgiven nor forgotten any time soon, it was heartening to see Vancouver’s metal scene step up and do their part to help soothe some of the sting the city’s been feeling since that night. I also got my eyes opened – there are a lot…
