There seemed to be a spring in the step of The Saint Alvia Cartel on this snowy Thursday night. It could have been because the band had been nominated for a Juno Award for their debut album, but regardless of the reason the band still proved to the Mod Club crowd that they were award-worthy. It was a very early start to a show, with Little...

The Reason — Things Couldn't Be Better

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) March 6, 2007 3:38 pm
Hamilton's The Reason are the latest entry in southern Ontario's long line of post-hardcore bands, but they seem to want to break out of the sonic mold that's exhausted most of their regional counterparts. Instead of singing then screaming to their heart's content, the band are far more melodic, borrowing more from indie pop than punk rock, though...

Hollerado is the hardest working band in the world. After spending a week with these guys and hearing these songs every night live I love them even more...

Here's a tip: don't slice up a tendon in your hand, especially if you play guitar. Devo have been forced to postpone all their upcoming tour dates for the rest of the year because guitarist Mark Mothersbaugh severed a tendon when a glass shard cut his right thumb through to the bone. Yeowch. Someone has deemed Die Antwoord's video for "Zef Slide"...

The Reason — Ravenna

in
By Steve English (CHARTattack) September 14, 2004 2:02 pm
The Reason would like their hooky emo-punk to make them a household name, but to the trained ear, they’ll always be Sewing With Nancie. The rough ‘n’ tumble Hamilton/Windsor fivesome may have changed monikers, but on Ravenna, their full-length debut, their tunes still pack that familiar riff-heavy wallop of yore. Singer Adam White paints from a...
