Sweet Thing @ NXNE 2006

in
By Amanda Factor (CHARTattack) June 12, 2006 3:00 pm
Background/Composition: Pure pop rock with a definite '80s retro vibe. Grade: 75 Comment: A frontman who sings with lots of dramatic overemoting is a little hard to take seriously. Achievement of Rock 'n' Roll Expectations 80-100: Exceeds skill and knowledge expectations, i.e. rocked us so hard we peed our pants. 70-79: Achieves...

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 16, 2010 10:29 am
Background/Composition: These five Torontonians blast crowds with shiny, happy pop, but have no qualms about working the word "motherfucker" into a chorus. They have one EP under their belts and a full-length on the way. Grade: 95 Comment: I'm far from knowing everything there is to know about Toronto music, but how is it I've never...
