Royal Wood And Beast Get Highest NXNE Marks

ChartAttack reviewers thought Royal Wood and Beast's North By Northeast performances were so good that there was no need for them to do extra homework.

Wood and Beast both got perfect scores on our NXNE report cards for their respective June 13 performances at Toronto's Gladstone Hotel and Supermarket. Israeli trio Monotonix came in third after scoring 98 for their wall-climbing, guitarist-strangling, drummer-suffocating and literally bar-hopping performance on June 12 at Reverb.
