The Trews — No Time For Later

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) February 19, 2008 4:37 pm
The Trews have grown up. No Time For Later is a far more assured and cohesive effort than the scrambled mishmash of 2005's Den Of Thieves. Their music is still anthemic and radio-friendly, but John-Angus MacDonald's guitar work has a distinctive roots rock flavour to it this time while vocalist Colin MacDonald's delivery is more controlled and his...

The Trews — Den Of Thieves

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) August 16, 2005 4:06 pm
It's amazing what constant touring, more recording time, more money and a veteran rock producer can do for a band. On The Trews' sophomore disc, the Niagara Falls foursome come out swinging with the runaway-train feel of "Fire Up Ahead" and the anthemic riffs of "Sunshine." Den Of Thieves showcases The Trews' increased...

On The Road....with The Trews

in
By Lucas Samuels (CHARTattack) December 23, 2011 11:04 am

The Trews are opening for Kid Rock this summer. It might not seem like east coast hard rock would go with southern rap rock, but this actually makes perfect sense in our brains. D-Sisive and Muneshine are working on a gangsta rap album as The Birthday Boys. Consider this advanced warning. Check out the godawful cover art for Limp Bizkit's new...

Trews Change Up On Record, Fight You On The Mat

By Trevor Morelli (CHARTattack) October 28, 2009 12:03 pm
Punchy, hard-driving rock anthems have always been The Trews' bread and butter, but the Antigonish, N.S. quartet are ready to branch out sonically. Singer Colin MacDonald says the guys are sick of being known as the "Not Ready To Go" band and their new Friends & Total Strangers acoustic CD/DVD will show people they're musically...
