Fucked Up Still Like Bleeding, Climbing

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 17, 2009 12:31 pm
At the end of Fucked Up's show at Toronto's Wrongbar in May 2008, broken beer bottles littered the wooden floor and the bar looked completely wrecked from the mayhem that had occurred. A lot's changed for Fucked Up since then: they signed to Matador, released the Polaris Music Prize short listed The Chemistry Of Common Life, have toured the...

Women @ CMW 2009

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 13, 2009 12:29 pm
Background/Composition: This Albertan four-piece was "discovered" by indie legend Chad VanGaalen and have since been riding the wave of success that followed their self-titled debut. They're sometimes noisy, sometimes pop-friendly, and always difficult to figure out. Grade: 80 Comment: What gives? This was false advertising: It was a...

Women — Women

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 8, 2008 11:18 am
Chad VanGaalen recorded this album, which is also being released on his record label, but you would really never know it. The experimental noise rock on Women's self-titled debut album is a far cry from the indie rock found on VanGaalen's two albums. Opener "Cameras" soon segues into the Animal Collective-esque stomp-along of "Lawncare." Then...

Women's Chris Reimer's Top Albums Of 2010

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) December 14, 2010 5:12 pm
We asked a pile of our favourite musicians about their top albums of 2010. Here's what Chris Reimer of Women said:1. Zs — New Slaves Insano free jazz strangled through crazy effects and a complete disregard for listener approval. Amazing listen from start to finish. 2. Elegi — Varde Creeping strings and unsettling drones, a cinematic...

By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) November 30, 2010 2:27 pm
Do you believe in jinxes? Some music publicists may start to wonder! We here at Charty Chart Chat thought there was a good chance Diamond Rings would repeat as the #1 artist on the chart for the week of Nov. 30. We even went so far as to send a request for a different promo photo to have on file to run with this story. Instead, after doing the...

Women's Public Strain has retained the #1 spot on the campus top 50 chart for the third week, sitting in the top spot again for the week of November 16, 2010.

Women — Public Strain

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) November 11, 2010 3:50 pm
Women's new album Public Strain is eons ahead of their 2008 self-titled debut album in both song structure, melody and overall concept. The material embedded within Public Strain never really hits you between the ears. Instead, like one of those Star Trek episodes where an alien species is slightly out of phase with the stalwart Federation crew,...

Women's Public Strain holds off all comers to retain the crown as campus chart top dog this week. Deerhunter's Halcyon Digest flips places with Black Mountain's Wilderness Heart, last week's runner-up album, to grab the #2 spot. Neil Young's Le Noise remains at #4 for a second straight week followed immediately by Arcade Fire's The Suburbs, which...

There's quite the heated battle going on between two very different western Canadian bands right now. Also, the campus chart for the week of Nov. 2, 2010 features an album that has ventured into territory no other disc in the past decade has been able to achieve. More on that later!

If things have been a bit strange with the charts department, it's due completely to my absence on vacation for the past two weeks.

Song Of The Day: Women's "Narrow With The Hall"

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) September 21, 2010 1:47 pm
This is the second single from Calgary experimental indie rock band Women's upcoming Public Strain sophomore album. It resembles much of the material from their 2008 self-titled debut album, but unlike first single "Eyesore," it's got less in common with Interpol, and sounds more like the music someone would make if they got lost in a washer in...
