Background / Composition: Who could hate a band that takes its name from a Thomas Hardy book? Grade: 86 Comment: Most of the Silver Dollar's patrons stuck around for this 1 a.m. set, even though it meant they'd miss the last subway train. That definitely speaks to how much these lads are liked — it was a cold night and Torontonians don't like...

The D'Urbervilles @ NXNE 2008

in
By Jessica Lewis (CHARTattack) June 16, 2008 10:00 am
BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: The D'Urbervilles play a combo of punk and dance rock culled from many parts of Ontario. Their We Are The Hunters debut full-length was released in February. Grade: 89 Comment: Combining dance rock and punk is usually something pretty fun, and this band didn’t prove that wrong. The energy was...

The D'Urbervilles' debut album is anthemic rock music for smart people. What the hell does that mean? It's all demonstrated perfectly in the title track, a three-minute pop song injected with group chanting, inspirational synths you could do aerobics to, a great chorus and electric guitar wanking. It combines an easy pop-rock formula with indie,...

The D'Urbervilles @ NXNE 2007

Background/Composition: Weird, enthusiastic art-rock fun from a group with a really cool band name. Grade: 81 Comment: It seemed like most of the crowd was out to see the "D'Urbs" in order to get their dance on, and with plenty of enthusiasm radiating from the stage, no one was disappointed. Achievement of Rock 'n' Roll...

The D'Urbervilles — The D'Urbervilles

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) July 18, 2006 12:17 pm
The D'Urbervilles' independent debut EP is a visually low-key affair, which helps inspire confidence that they didn't need to waste money and time on lavish packaging to disguise any sub-par efforts inside. Originally hailing from Oshawa, Ontario, but now based in Guelph, this four-piece outfit play solid, honest, infectious indie rock. There are...

Background/Composition: The D'Urbervilles, though formed in Guelph and Oshawa, Ont., find themselves based in Toronto. Their members are also in other acts like The Magic, Forest City Lovers and Diamond Rings, and this post-punk quartet display something entirely different than their other works. Grade: 95 Comment: The D'Urbs are always a...

By Aisha Khan (CHARTattack) December 9, 2009 2:39 pm
Danish shoegazers Mew have been keen to raise their profile in North America this past year. With gigs at Toronto's Virgin Festival and opening for Nine Inch Nails, one would expect a venue full of curious onlookers. But their Mod Club show this past Sunday was packed to the rafters with fans who have obviously loved them for years. Guelph,...

I went to the launch of the Heavy Vessel music series last night, which is being organized by Ohbijou's Casey Mecija. It was supposed to be held in a ship in a sandbox at a school on Toronto's Bellwoods Ave., but it got too cold last night, so it had to be moved to the basement of the house on Bellwoods Ave. where Mecija and her sister, Ohbijou's...
