No Doubt Are Hella Good

No Doubt have that rare ability to remain glamorous and timeless in a way few Hollywood rock groups do. They're constantly redefining themselves and proving their merit in fresh ways when they could likely ride the coattails of 1995's Tragic Kingdom. That's why it was no surprise they perfected everything from elaborate stage setups to the...

Bedouin Soundclash's Dance Party

No matter what time of year, listening to Bedouin Soundclash makes you feel like you're on a tropical island. So there were few better ways to end the summer than with them at a show on Toronto's waterfront. Most of the crowd, myself included, arrived with the intent of seeing Bad Brains' H.R. open with a solo set. He apparently couldn't make it...

Bedouin Soundclash And Friends Reclaim Music At MMVAs

I'm not sure how many people actually saw it, but Bedouin Soundclash and their friends may have saved the MuchMusic Video Awards. Once the glitzy televised awards show ended last night, the Bedouin crew headed up a motley jam of cover songs under the banner the "MMVA 08 Aftermath" for a half-hour set that was streamed online at...

Bedouin Soundclash — Street Gospels

Street Gospels is an extremely well-crafted pop record. The dub-heavy bass runs and drumming of 2004's Sounding A Mosaic are toned down in the mix this time, allowing Jay Malinowski to steer the ship vocally. His voice goes from smooth reggae vibe to gravelly wail in the blink of an eye on album opener "Until We Burn In The Sun." With less...

Bedouin Soundclash — Sounding A Mosaic

It's good to see that someone can take the basic tenets of ska and apply them to other aspects of popular music besides punk (and lets give props to Stomp, a ska punk label, for recognizing the need to freshen things up!). Many of the cuts offered up by Boudin Soundclash are definitely grounded in the ska sounds of late ‘60s Jamaica before The...

Ohbijou are going to spend the early part of the fall touring eastern Canada in support of their upcoming Metal Meets album. There will probably be nothing metal about any of the songs they'll play at the gigs, but hey. Camp Radio, a supergroup of sorts featuring producer Dave Draves (Kathleen Edwards, Gentleman Reg), are set to release their...

Bedouin Soundclash Announce Summer Dates

Summer's just around the corner, though if you look outside these days and notice all the rain we've been getting (in Toronto at least) it sure doesn't look like it. That'll hopefully change and we'll all be basking in sun, drinking beer and listening to summer jams soon. And what better music to listen to than reggae, really?So it's only...

Bedouin Soundclash's Jay Malinowski + Coeur De Pirate + El Bronx = Armistice

Bedouin Soundclash frontman Jay Malinowski and Coeur De Pirate (a.k.a. Beatrice Martin) must have gotten along really well when she lent her vocals to Bedouin Soundclash's "Brutal Hearts." So well, in fact, that they're releasing an EP together as Armistice. The self-titled five-track effort is out Feb. 15 through Bedouin Soundclash's Pirates...

Bedouin Soundclash Reclaim Their Identity With Light The Horizon

The last few years have been tough for Bedouin Soundclash. Drummer Pat Pengelly left the band in early 2009, prompting the band to take a break, consider whether they wanted to continue and find a replacement. In the meantime, singer/guitarist Jay Malinowski released a solo album. Now, the band have reconvened with the addition of drummer Sekou...

Looks like 102.1 The Edge and Dean Blundell are in some trouble again. The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council said Wednesday that comments Blundell made suggesting Justin Bieber was "gay" and that his fans were "likely 12 years old" violated part of the council's "equitable portrayal code" because they had "inappropriately sexualized children."...

Bedouin Soundclash Take On Child Poverty

It's estimated that one in 10 children live below the poverty line in developed countries. But half the world's population of six billion people — most of whom live in developing countries — live on less than two dollars a day. Children are obviously severely affected by poverty. It can damage their physical and mental well-being, along with...

Bedouin Soundclash — Light The Horizon

It would have been pretty easy for Bedouin Soundclash to decide to split up after drummer Pat Pengelly left the band in early 2009. Jay Malinowski and Eon Sinclair have said they weren't sure whether they were going to continue with the band, so they took some time off, Malinowski wrote a solo album, and then they reconvened. But what could have...
