Fucked Up Still Like Bleeding, Climbing

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 17, 2009 12:31 pm
At the end of Fucked Up's show at Toronto's Wrongbar in May 2008, broken beer bottles littered the wooden floor and the bar looked completely wrecked from the mayhem that had occurred. A lot's changed for Fucked Up since then: they signed to Matador, released the Polaris Music Prize short listed The Chemistry Of Common Life, have toured the...

Fortunately, DFA's former elephant-nosed vocalist/drummer has come back around to take us out on the town and help us move on with our lives. Conveniently, he's also crafted a 12-track power pop soundtrack for our joyful recovery. As...

VFest Toronto Day Two

By Jen White (CHARTattack) September 9, 2008 1:58 pm
Day two of the Virgin Festival started out a little shaky as a light but annoying rain threatened to keep up all day. I got to the island rather painlessly this time, and reached the Virgin Mobile Stage just as Spiral Beach began. They played a pretty solid power-pop set for a bunch of teenagers on a pylon-littered stage, but their age shone...

The Stills May Yet Redeem Themselves

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) November 26, 2007 3:30 pm
The conspicuous lack of CDs for sale on Friday night was punctuated by the bargain sale on Stills T-shirts from their Without Feathers tour. It was a telling sidebar for a band whose Logic Will Break Your Heart debut was deservedly much loved while their follow-up, 2006's Without Feathers, was, well, let's say less loved. The band have no new...

Sebastien Grainger, Josh Reichmann Are Bad Tits

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) December 22, 2009 4:30 pm
Sebastien Grainger and Josh Reichmann sort of look alike (especially on their MySpace page, where two pictures — in which they're both wearing jean jackets — have been stitched together in one), and they're both former members of two relatively well-known Canadian indie rock bands. Now, they've started a band called Bad Tits. The duo's MySpace...
