    Kepi and Friends – Full Moon Forever LP

    Kepi Ghoulie Kepi and Friends – Full Moon Forever LP (Pirates Press Records) After having already reviewed Kepi Ghoulie’s “other” album released this year (the Ramones In Love LP), I can say with regret that I approached Ghoulie’s output this annum in the wrong order. Full Moon Forever is a really good album which features…

  • Daddy Long Legs – Street Sermons LP

    Daddy Long Legs – Street Sermons LP

    Daddy Long Legs Street Sermons LP (Yep Roc Records) It’s funny how an album cover is capable of getting the gears to begin running in a listener’s mind and cause them to begin drawing conclusions and/or forming expectations of the music before they even hear a note.

      Since they first stumbled out of a Quebecois crypt ten years ago, The Brains have always attempted to do their best to connect with their fans and further grow their fanbase. Of course, their first introduction was made as a psychobilly band – but it didn’t take long for the group to begin reaching…

  • Volbeat/ The Sleeping/ Dommin @ the Mod Club, Toronto ON, August 17, 2010

    “I have no bone to pick with VOLBEAT at all. Their heavy metal/rockabilly/early rock’n’roll gangster aesthetic is fantastic. They’re greasy, twangy and a hell of a lot of fun to see live. Michael Poulsen embodies their sound: lean, punchy muscles, the lines of his brow and cheekbone just a little haggard from hard living, slicked…
