Watchmen Reunion All Smiles

Whether for friends in the basement of a seedy Winnipeg hotel practice spot, draft-swilling college kids in dank campus bars or thousands of proud patriots during Canada Day celebrations in the nation's capital, The Watchmen have always been known to put on a good show. So when the recently reconciled quartet took the stage for the second...

Doctor — High Is As High Gets

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) August 24, 2004 1:28 pm
While Doctor brings together two experienced musicians, The Watchmen’s Danny Greaves and Change Of Heart/The Royals’ Rob Higgins, the duo’s first effort falls far short of exciting. For Greaves to escape The Watchmen’s grip he would have to create something vastly different than the Can-Rock he’s known for. His vocals are so distinct and so...

The Watchmen — Slomotion

in
By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) November 27, 2001 10:31 pm
I've been having this awful nightmare lately. In it, some mad scientist decides to take a break from his usual attempts to breed pigs and elephants and shifts his attention to Watchmen albums and X-Tendamix compilations from the early '90s. The result sounds like a fairly indistinguishable, droning mess in which band's trademark rock melodies have...

Watchmen Releasing New Songs, Documentary

in
By Trevor Morelli (CHARTattack) September 23, 2009 1:08 pm
If you're a fan of plaid button-up shirts, bad mohawks and all things '90s (Full House, anyone?) you'll be excited to hear that The Watchmen are putting out some new songs. It's been a full year since the Winnipeg rockers played two sold-out shows at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern and they're doing it again on Sept. 25 and 26. "We were quite...

The Watchmen Pack It In, Look Towards New Projects

in
By CHARTattack Staff November 17, 2003 4:00 pm
Earlier this month we told you that while The Watchmen hadn't officially called it quits, we could smell that the end was near. Well, we were right. The Watchmen have announced that they will disband at the end of this year, after a short farewell tour. Beginning in mid-December, the Winnipeg-based band will do a short tour of intimate...

The Watchmen, Tom Cochrane And Choke In Edmonton

in
By Heather Adler (CHARTattack) December 21, 2001 3:30 pm
So, it appears another year of mis-spent youth has finally passed us by. That means it's time to make resolutions about "never drinking that much again," "working out three times a week" and "finally perfecting those choreographed dance moves to all the *Nsync videos." But before we give up all the sinning for...

The Watchmen: Drumming Towards The Future

in
By Kari D (CHARTattack) August 22, 2001 12:30 pm
Hey, anyone remember The Watchmen? The Winnipeg quartet gained lukewarm success in their homeland based on the strength of singles such as "Stereo" and "Any Day Now" from their most recent release, 1998's Silent Radar. Granted, 1998 was a while ago. The band have bunkered down for the last three years, staying out of the...
