Brampton Indie Arts Festival Report #1: Final Fantasy, The Meligrove Band

in
By Pras Rajagopalan (CHARTattack) February 21, 2007 10:00 am
To many, seeing "indie arts" and "Brampton" in the same sentence together will come across as strange. After all, how much appetite can there be for independent art in this thoroughly suburban strip-mall community? Clearly, there's a healthy demand though, as the Brampton Indie Arts Festival just wrapped its seventh year. As...

The Meligrove Band — Planets Conspire

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) January 17, 2006 2:48 pm
Some bands spend their whole careers looking for the magic formula and never find it. For others, success comes instantaneously. Then there are a few groups, like The Meligrove Band, whose careers are right in the middle. They've been around for more than a few years, but it wasn't until Planets Conspire ended up in the hands of V2 that...

The Meligrove Band — Let It Grow

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) October 8, 2002 2:26 pm
The Meligrove Band could very well be Toronto’s finest potential heir to Sloan’s pop rock throne. Having started the band when they were barely legal, the Meligroves are now as old as the Sloans were when it all started for them. Their latest offering, Let It Grow, certainly shows the band is on its way. Catchy to the point of shamelessness, the...

Donahue said the LP, which is the follow-up to 2006's Planets Conspire, "leaves listeners to walk away liked amped-up kids after a short-but-sweet rollercoaster ride, giving Meligrove Band the satisfaction of leaving fans wanting more, not wanting...

Song Of The Day: The Meligrove Band's "Bones Attack!!!"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) September 8, 2010 1:38 pm
The Meligrove Band's "Bones Attack!!!" is absolutely infectious indie pop from one of Toronto's most underrated bands. The tune, which features a chorus that's as catchy as flu (but less nasty for you), includes a vibraphone part written by Rich Aucoin, who recorded it in Halifax and emailed it to the band. The tune will be...

The Chronicle Herald Yellowcard are releasing a new album on Hopeless Records after a two-year hiatus. They'll continue to be overshadowed by more popular emo bands that no one gives a crap about, either. Alternative...

By Adam Kovac (CHARTattack) June 7, 2010 3:44 pm
Despite the name of The Meligrove Band's new album, epileptics shouldn't avoid upcoming shows featuring the Meligrove Band. Shimmering Lights, the band's fourth LP, will hit store shelves Sept. 21. It's been quite a while since the foursome put out any new material, as their last album, Planets Conspire, was released back in 2006. To celebrate,...

Time has totally slept on this album. If their stupid label hadn't gone under The Meligroves should've become as big as Sloan with this one. As in this was their Twice Removed. But it didn't. And those dudes are probably working in book stores 'n' shit scraping together bits for whenever their next album comes out. We still love them, though...
