The Got To Get Got — Sahalee

Looking at the track names on Halifax's The Got To Get Got's debut should give you a sense as to the group's sound. The band reference everything from '80s thrash metal ("Hell Awaits, Maybe") to the aughts indie ("Some Loud Thunder Clap Your Hands Say Boom") and are a great synthesis of sound. There's an overwhelming...

Dog Day Debut Album In Halifax

An early show in Halifax is tough to pull off. As a city, we've grown accustomed to pre-drinking until midnight before hitting the town. But Dog Day's CD release show for Concentration at Reflections Cabaret had to go off before the venue turned into a dance club, so that was enough reason to tear us from our growlers of Propeller.

Things started with One Heart Many Hands (real name Steve Hesselink) who's the drummer for We're Marching On. As One...

The Got To Get Got Come Together From A Distance

North Of America's Mark Mullane, Michael Catano and Mark Colavecchia have created their musical magnum opus with The Got To Get Got. The bi-coastal pursuit borders on madness, as the majority of the arts collective's members have never met but have still managed to merge musically. Mullane is the sole member who has divided his time in both...
