Band: Uncut Hometown: Toronto, ON Venue: Lee's Palace Date: June 13, 2008 Reporter: Aisha Khan BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: This was obnoxiously loud indie rock with no reservations or pretension. Three chords, no solos, and everybody shreds like it's the last song they'll...

Dinosaur Jr. Melt Eardrums

in
By Matt Littlefairq (CHARTattack) June 12, 2007 3:00 pm
Normally the NXNE weekend is a bit of a crapshoot, and the ratio of absolute shit to really good is decidedly unbalanced, but last Friday was different. Everything I saw exceeded any expectations I might've had coming in. Starting with Uncut, followed by the fully reformed Dinosaur Jr. and ending with bands who have nothing to do with this...

Uncut @ CMW 2007

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 9, 2007 5:30 pm
Background/Composition: The place filled up as these hometown boys took to the stage. You wouldn't know it if you passed them on the street, but this foursome have an innate need to assault strangers with wailing guitars. They have some of the coolest looking six-strings in Canadian rock and they're not afraid to use them. Grade: 80...

K-OS Chaotic At Intimate Gig

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) October 31, 2006 4:00 pm
It's been a weird few weeks for K-OS and Toronto. After NOW Magazine published a slightly scathing review of his new record, Atlantis — Hymns For Disco, K-OS raised a national media storm by publicly denouncing the writer, Jason Richards. Richards had his own say a couple of weeks later (in the issue currently on stands), but none of this...

Uncut — Modern Currencies

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) October 24, 2006 4:30 pm
As good as Uncut's first album was, it was almost impossible not to compare the band to Interpol and a few other 21st century new wave outfits. With some distance from their first release and the Killers/Franz frenzy, Uncut have finally come into their own. Modern Currencies is a big improvement over their first disc. A lot of it sounds similar —...

Uncut @ CMW 2006

By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) March 4, 2006 3:30 pm
Hometown: Toronto, ON Background/Composition: Dark groove post-punk minimalists. Grade: 90 Comment: Including elements of punk, rock, electronic, grunge and goth, Uncut's sound doesn't make you want to make you dress in black and stay home. It forces you to jump and yell along with the band as they celebrate noise. Achievement...

Uncut — Those Who Were Hung Hang Here

in
By Darrin Keene (CHARTattack) May 11, 2004 3:07 pm
Uncut ooze with glorious post-punk spunk on their debut album, Those Who Were Hung Hang Here. Founding member Ian Worang and his supporting cast (Jon Drew, Sam Goldberg and Derek Tokar) whip out rock-hard beats with a fair dose of pulsating, angular melodies and healthy spurts of distortion. If you roamed though the seamy alternative underbelly of...

Uncut Happily Let Bob Mould Deafen Them

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) December 12, 2006 4:30 pm
Uncut are fresh off a tour that saw them careen from one end of the country to the other, and in one instance as drummer Jon Drew recalls, running from cops in the midst of a blizzard. "I pulled the van over somewhere in Montana to ask a police officer at the side of the highway where we could get changed and get a hot meal and then he...

Uncut Deal In Modern Currencies

in
By CHARTattack Staff September 29, 2006 5:00 pm
Uncut attracted a lot of critical attention and increased their fanbase significantly following the release of their Paper Bag debut album, Those Who Were Hung Hang Here, so expectations are higher this time around. The Toronto quartet will try and fulfill them with Paper Bag's Oct. 24 release of Modern Currencies, which promises to be louder...
