When it comes to punk bands that get the support of the Hali locals, Myles Deck & The Fuzz and Cuban Assassins rank high on the list. Needless to say, the fact they are putting out a joint 7" is pretty big news around these parts. Even bigger news... we are giving away two of the super ...

Thursday was a chock-o-block full kind of day at M for Montreal. Starting with an afternoon schmooze session filled with managers/agents/promoters and more business cards than the free lunch bowl at any TGIFridays and shows going until the early morning, delegates were on the go. That being ...

D-Sisive is still sad. He's also angry, and of those two emotions, it's definitely the anger that's the most relevant when you're discussing his new album, Jonestown . Released last week as a free download on D-Sisive's website , Jonestown finds D in a jubilantly foul mood, with a ...

If you were on the site last week, you're likely aware that I'm a big fan of Ghettosocks' new album, Treat of the Day . There are a number of reasons for this, but one of the main ones is certainly Socks' liberal use of awesome old school vocal samples throughout the album. I'm not going to ...

I spent most of last week in Montreal trying to balance my day job with the heavy lifting we do for herohill, abusing my liver and neglecting my fatherly responsibilities. Before I get into the music, I have to say that M for Montreal is the type of festival/conference we could really use here ...

We are not much for posting "news" on the hill, but this is the kind of announcement that demands attention. Paul Murphy - guitar man/vocalist of Wintersleep - is fixing to put out a record he made with his brother as a gift for their mom. Under the moniker Postdata , the Murphy Boys hammered ...

Its a fine Friday here in Halifax, and if you are here, you are no doubt busy working out your weekend plans in order to take advantage of the lovely weather we seem to have on tap. Well let's see if we can assist with a quick rundown of some events of interest. I say some events, but really, ...

There are some crazy things happening here in MTL thanks to the good people at M for Montreal . I'll be doing a better dissection of the conference, bands and antics later - honestly, Miracle Fortress fans are in for an (electro) shock and The RAA own every stage they play now - but there are ...

To be honest, I have no idea what to say about the new Mitch Wiebe, Ray Fenwick, Rebecca Young project, Pastoralia . On first listen the songs are visceral, but they have a depth that you only stumble onto the more times the tracks repeat. The trio plays engaging albeit somewhat bizarre, ...

All right, the Ack is off gallivanting around Montreal with all the fancy music biz swells at M For Montreal , and yes, that leaves me back in Halifax minding the cyber store. And it also happens to be Thursday, so that means one thing: videos. We've had a couple of jam-packed editions of ...

There's a good chance many of you reading this have not heard of Ghettosocks . That's fine, I mean, after all, that's what we're here for, to try and remedy that situation. But I will says this: if you like classic hip hop (more specifically hip hop & hip hop culture from the early to mid ...

On his last effort ( review ), Jon Epworth wanted us all to know it's not the size of the room you play, it's the songs you write. He focused on substance over style, holding onto the fleeting notion that it's not what you sell, it's what you make. Some might call the notion naive, other's ...

Pleasant surprises are rare in this day & age, but I have to say, one of the nice things about having one of these nifty music blogs, is that you tend to get pleasantly surprised on a fairly regular basis. This is exactly what happened when I listened to CFCF's Continent for the first time a ...

First off, let me apologize for the lack of OSM-age last week. I hate to skip it, but time was scarce last weekend, and we wanted to ensure we got the awesome Paper Bag vinyl contest posted bright and early (as an aside, if you haven't entered that contest, do so now, as today will likely be ...

We are going to take a trip south of the border today, visiting places that conjure up painful sporting memories. First we have Philadelphia. One of the first Steelers games I ever went to I scalped a ticket and ended up sitting next to the dude that dressed up like the Eagle. People pelted ...

One of the acts I'm most looking forward to seeing next week at M for Montreal is the nomadic Mark Berube - he's playing the M for Martini showcase on Thursday . He may call Montreal home, but he's traveled the world singing songs, and stock piling anecdotes and observations. The result is a ...

The Friganza returns! It's been a while since we've posted our rundown of the weekend shows here in Halifax, but you'll have to cut us a bit of slack, as we've had a few things going on. But things, schmings, there's a lot going on, so let's get to it. If the two of us can power through the ...

Originally I planned on writing an opus about this record. I was going to try to connect you to the record through my eyes and ears, talking about how the first listen it hit me like no other record this year. Praise the trio for following through on a premise so simple, so pure that you can't ...

Next week I’ll be heading up to Montreal to rub elbows with the big names in journalism and help promote the ever growing and successful Montreal scene. As one of the delegates for M For Montreal , basically we roll into the city and get treated to shows and sit down time ...

Between the two of us here at your favorite kung fu dude-mascotted music blog, I'd have to say I'm really not the guy you go to for hot new indie music trends. The Ack is certainly the guy to go to for that kind of thing, as he manages to do a rather decent job keeping his incredibly white ...
