Black Lungs Get Heavier

in
By Stephanie Joudrey (CHARTattack) January 26, 2009 4:37 pm
Any opportunity to see Alexisonfire in a small club is going to be extremely rare at this point, and your chances of seeing Dallas Green's City And Colour in a similar venue are probably even lower. So it wasn't surprising to see a lineup stretching around the block at Kathedral for Alexisonfire singer/guitarist Wade MacNeil's Black Lungs show,...

With 150 bands performing at this year's S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival, concert-goers were ready to have a rock-filled day starting at 2 p.m. But the excitement was put on hold for the opening bands set to play on outdoor stages as claps of thunder and torrents of rain and hail forced crowds to wait impatiently under the Market Square shelter in the...

BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: With two members of popular hardcore band Alexisonfire, this band are stuffed with oomph but focus more on a melodic tone. They recently released their Send Flowers debut album. Grade: 84 Comment:The set was thumping and pushed hardcore, but on the nicer side of things. While vocalist Wade MacNeil was...

City And Colour Do No Wrong At Massey

in
By Stephanie Joudrey (CHARTattack) June 9, 2008 1:00 pm
City And Colour's Dallas Green made sure to bring his friends along when he fulfilled a dream by playing two sold out shows at Massey Hall on Friday and Saturday night. Black Lungs, Friday night's first act, and Wade MacNeil of Alexisonfire's side-project, came on to a half-full hall. You'd assume MacNeil already had most of the audience on-...

Black Lungs — Send Flowers

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 27, 2008 9:39 am
There's something missing from Send Flowers, the debut album from Wade MacNeil of Alexisonfire's Black Lungs side project. One gets the feeling that MacNeil is skirting around the main ideas in most of the disc's songs. "Fire And Brimstone" is a good mixture of Alexisonfire background shouts and delicate piano parts with lyrics about...

Black Lungs @ CMW 2008

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 10, 2008 10:00 am
BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Black Lungs used to include Alexisonfire vocalist George Pettit and others, but they recently imploded and turned into guitarist Wade MacNeil with friend Sammi Bogdanski on keys. Grade: 65 Comment: For a one man, one woman show, MacNeil and friend certainly made a lot of noise. He should definitely be...

Holy crappers! Radiohead have released "Supercollider" and "The Butcher," the two tunes they released on limited-edition vinyl on Saturday for Record Store Day, to fans for free download. There's no catch, and they're apparently giving them away as a "thank you." —NME If you're a grunge obsessive whose VHS copy of 1991: The Year Punk Broke, a...

Black Lungs' New Album Was Almost Electronic

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) June 18, 2008 3:30 pm
Alexisonfire guitarist Wade MacNeil has become a singer/songwriter. Well, not exactly... but close. He hasn't traded in his electric guitar for an acoustic and harmonica, but those expecting MacNeil's new Black Lungs side-project to sound anything like the technical screamo he's recognized for are in for a shock. The band's Send Flowers...
