Cat Power Damp At Rogers Picnic

When I was asked how much music I could handle if I were to cover both the Warped Tour and Rogers Picnic in one weekend, I was a little overconfident in my response. With my shoes still soaked from Warped, I begrudgingly made my way to the Rogers Picnic for yet another adventure in music, mud and willpower. Due to a TTC service change, I ended up...

City And Colour Do No Wrong At Massey

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-...

Dashboard Confessional Rock Awkwardly

Pre-teen girls have always made up a substantial portion of Dashboard Confessional's fanbase, but they arrived in unprecedented numbers to see Friday's concert at the Molson Amphitheatre. Since there's little worse than going to an emo show alone, they came with their BFFs, their boyfriends or, in some cases, their mothers. Despite the...

City And Colour — Sometimes

Alexisonfire may be spearheading the screamo wave, but their secret weapon is melody man Dallas Green. His solo acoustic project couldn't be farther from AOF's hardcore stylings, but that's what makes Green such an interesting songwriter. He is equally adept at crafting captivating acoustic ballads as he is punk anthems and the intimacy of these...

Elbow are getting their own beer. It's an ale called Build A Rocket, Boys!, after their most recent album, and it might possibly be the most interesting thing they've ever done. Maybe the only interesting thing about them. Here's hoping Bud Light isn't more potent. English ale isn't known to be watery and wimpy as fuck. Jane's Addiction's long-...

City And Colour — Little Hell

City And Colour fans who were used to Dallas Green's (relatively speaking) stripped down, minimalistic brand of emotionally-heavy indie folk tunes will likely be surprised by Little Hell, his third solo release. But the great thing about the album is it could likely bring those who've looked at City And Colour with hesitation over to Green's side...

Video Of The Day: City And Colour's "Fragile Bird"

City And Colour's video for "Fragile Bird" might be the darkest, grittiest thing Dallas Green's done with his solo (kinda?) project to date. In it, Green finds himself right in the middle of a bug-infested brothel, with walls that have been cut away to reveal what's going on in each of the rooms. There's a tad bit of nudity, so you might want to...
