Retreat! Retreat!

May 12, 2010

It has been a really long time since I posted. But I think I am feeling a bit more ambitious now a days. So I have decided to start doing some regular posts once again.

I came across this band a few days back, and I haven’t been able to stop listening to them. They are called 65daysofstatic. The song is called Retreat! Retreat!

By The Power of Zeus!

April 21, 2010

Well, I finally got my hearing back. Therefore I feel inspired to blog once again.

The band is called Zeus and by name alone they have big shoes to fill, god like. But they do…and they do it well. The band is mostly from Barrie but some member are from Toronto.  Zeus is Jason Collets backing band. Think The Band to Bob Dlyan….

The song is called Marching Through Your Head!

Hang me, Oh Hang Me

April 11, 2010

There really is nothing like a song about execution. And what makes it even better is the fact that a Canadian bands does it. The band is called The Deep Dark Woods, and I am official calling them the next thing to get way more attention in the coming year. The song is called Hang me, Oh Hang me.

I first heard this song last summer from Grant Lawrence on CBC Radio 3 Campfire Podcast. I have love this song ever since. It is like the perfect ending song at concert, or the perfect crowd participation song. Also what a fucking cool song name too!

How can super bands go wrong? Indie super bands that is! Not you reality show bands like INXS or Supernova, but bands like The New Pornographers and Broken Social Scene. Well this band follows the same path, great songwriter and performer. They are called Lee Harvey Osmond, which I don’t mean to boast but I have connections too. The song is called I’m going to stay that way.

Enjoy!

Sunny Day Real Estate

March 28, 2010

Well I have been having flashbacks to high school since I’ve been listening to this song today. I was obsessed with this song back in the day, and actually just recently remember them.  I always thought they had the cool band name. “Sunny Day Real Estate”.

Fun Fact: the bass player is also the bass player for Foo Fighters…wow!

Sunny Day Real Estate – In Circles

Throw Me To The Rats

March 27, 2010

Well I have to admit that The Tom Fun Orchestra freak me out. But I think thats what I like about them. You can defiantly hear that Tom Waits was a big influence on these east coasters. The song is called Throw Me To The Rats.
