IllScarlett — 1Up!

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) October 28, 2009 2:26 pm
IllScarlett are moving up in the world and, while it's good for them, it's not for me. The Mississauga, Ont. quartet co-produced their new album with Grammy Award-winning producer Robert Carranza (Bjork, Beastie Boys) in Los Angeles after working on 2007's All Day With It in the same city with producer Matthew Wilder (No Doubt, Natalie Imbruglia...

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...

IllScarlett — All Day With It

in
By Matt Reeder (CHARTattack) July 10, 2007 12:06 pm
Why IllScarlett begin their major label debut with a lone guitar line that doesn't sound dissimilar to the infamous opening of The Eagles' mega-hit "Hotel California" is anyone's guess. I can't imagine they're targeting the classic rock band's fans as fertile crossover territory. But it's those kinds of extra flourishes that help set the...

IllScarlett — EPdemic

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) November 14, 2006 9:39 pm
White boy reggae will probably never sound cool, but IllScarlett come pretty damn close. Their mix of ska, dub and reggae can be a bit of a pill at times, but it's never anywhere near The Salads' level of cheese. Instead, it comes off as a smooth mix of genres, executed with deft pop sensibility and massive crossover potential. The singer's wail...

Motion City Soundtrack started Friday (Dec. 4) night on stage 30 minutes before tickets said doors were officially open. Combine that with the fact that very few people even knew who they were, and you can imagine the kind of reception they got. Local boys IllScarlett were up next and the radio fans who were there finally got some music they...

IllScarlett — "Take It For Granted"

in
By CHARTattack Staff October 1, 2009 12:16 pm
IllScarlett get drenched in paint in the video for "Take It For Granted," which is on their recently released fourth album, 1Up!. Basically, you can forget about paintball because that's obviously not hardcore enough. Getting doused with a full can of paint is where it's at. Is paint hard to get out of dreadlocks?

I love the word gallivant. I should use it more. An Eye Weekly photographer came to my house on Thursday evening to do a shoot for the paper's House Call feature. Eye usually comes out on Thursdays, but, since that's Christmas Day next week, it will be available on Tuesday. You can check out my digs in the issue. My friend Leslie then came...

That will change when the Cutting Edge Music Festival hits the city. The punk- and hardcore-centric festival features a lineup that includes Alexisonfire,...

"I can understand how people hear that, but I think that we are different," insists Norman. "We do more of, well, our own thing. "As...
