C'mon Fulfill Male Fantasies

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 17, 2008 1:30 pm
Beer was spilled, fists were pumped and pits were moshed. This was all happening before headliners C'mon were even spotted in the club. Aside from the usual mix of Friday concert-goers, this night's Horseshoe crowd was sporting a plethora of beards, an unsightly number of Judas Priest T-shirts and far too many examples of metal hair. Shouts of...

C'Mon — Bottled Lightning

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) October 30, 2007 8:41 pm
With a legacy bested only by the length of his beard, Ian Blurton has emerged as something of a godfather in the Toronto indie rock community. When he's not mixing and producing and all that crap, he still manages to pillage and plunder with the best of 'em with his power trio, the mighty C'mon. Bottled Lightning (Of An All Time High) proves that...

C'Mon — In The Heat Of The Moment

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) August 30, 2005 1:10 pm
Let's make it clear: C'Mon on record are vastly different than C'Mon on stage. Where their stage show is a middling mess of distortion and extreme loudness, their records, especially their latest, are coherent, thought out rock assaults. In The Heat Of The Moment's blazing guitars, pounding drums and crunchy riffs, prove once again why Ian...

C'mon @ NXNE 2010

By Adam Kovac (CHARTattack) June 22, 2010 11:47 am
C'Mon are one of those bands I'd heard good things about, but had never bothered to check out. Well, let's just say having a media pass has its advantages, as I finally managed to take in C'Mon in all their glory. Like Danko Jones, C'Mon make gritty, energetic rock 'n' roll music that recalls the best parts of bands like Thin Lizzy, Led Zep and...

By Shawn Despres (CHARTattack) November 12, 2009 3:18 pm
Ian Blurton has no plans to unleash new material with his hard-hitting trio C'Mon until next spring, so he's decided to issue a solo disc called Happy Endings. The album's 13 cuts took shape in different studios in Toronto, Winnipeg and British Columbia over the last several years. "Folded Plastic" was originally done for Blurton's...

We love Ian Blurton. Every chicken wing bone we find in his beard is like a little gift from God sent down from heaven to bless us. That said, the only appropriate context to ever listen to C'Mon is after eight beers, at the Horseshoe Tavern. Any other auditory experience can't cut it.

My friends and I get together once a month for fellowship, food, drinks and to watch documentaries. I must credit Jeff Kilpatrick for putting the most elaborate one together on Friday, as far as nourishment is concerned. He prepared a bunch of delicious dishes and concocted some mean juleps and whiskey sours. And his choice of Gonzo, a documentary...

C'Mon Feel The Noise With Ian Blurton

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) September 19, 2007 4:00 pm
You'd be hard-pressed to find a better flag bearer for rock 'n' roll than Ian Blurton. For some 25 years, he's soldiered bravely through dive bars, flighty bandmates and big label bullshit, only to come out the other side with ethos intact and a nifty looking beard to boot. In recent years, Blurton has become the producer of choice for a wide...

C'Mon Bottle Lightning On Latest Release

in
By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) September 5, 2007 4:30 pm
C'Mon aren't known for holding anything back, so perhaps there's a bit of irony in titling their third full-length Bottled Lightning (Of An All Time High). The typically hard-driving rock record was produced by the band and recorded at four Toronto studios by Jay Sadlowski, Dean Marino, Daryl Smith, Bernard Maiezza and Jon Drew. It was mixed by...
