Halifax VFest Feels "Alternative" Like The '90s

in
By Shannon Webb-Campbell (CHARTattack) July 6, 2009 1:45 pm
It wouldn't be summer without a muddy festival on Citadel Hill. This past weekend Halifax hosted the inaugural Virgin Festival Nova Scotia, free of charge due to The Tragically Hip's last minute cancellation. Virgin headquarters sent out notice less than 24 hours before the show, which stated there was an unforeseeable family emergency that...

Hawksley Live At Massey

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) December 1, 2008 4:53 pm
Given the freezing Toronto temperature on Friday night — not to mention the lack of need to line up early, since Massey Hall is thankfully a seated venue — it was pretty heartening to see that the cavernous hall was more than half-full for opening band Hey Rosetta!. It's always a good sign for a band on the rise when they can pull in a crowd when...

Hey Rosetta! — Into Your Lungs (And Around In Your Heart And On Through Your Blood)

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 3, 2008 1:31 pm
While Hey Rosetta!'s Plan Your Escape was a strong debut, Into Your Lungs… is much, much better. The six-minute-plus quiet tracks which broke Plan Your Escape's flow have been replaced here by more focused tunes along the lines of the last record's "Lions For Scottie." The mandolin-tinged opener "New Goodbye" will probably grab you right away, and...

Ohbijou are going to spend the early part of the fall touring eastern Canada in support of their upcoming Metal Meets album. There will probably be nothing metal about any of the songs they'll play at the gigs, but hey.

Song Of The Day: The Express' "Nobody Knows"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) June 3, 2011 3:44 pm
The Express is a joint project between Hey Rosetta!'s Kinley Dowling and Two Hours Traffic's Liam Corcoran, with Cuff The Duke's Dale Murray. The three recorded their upcoming self-titled debut at Murray's home studio in Nova Scotia, and "Nobody Knows," which appears on it, is probably best representative of what the album will sound like. It's a...

Together At Last: Two Hours Traffic + Hey Rosetta! + Cuff The Duke = The Express

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) June 2, 2011 4:26 pm
Members of two of eastern Canada's best loved bands have come together to form one. Really, it was only a matter of time before two members of Two Hours Traffic and Hey Rosetta! collaborated on something. Both make gorgeously sweet pop, though to be honest, Hey Rosetta!'s tunes are a little more symphonically-influenced. But things go a little bit...

If you bought a copy of Hey Rosetta!'s new Seeds album this year, you might have opened it to discover it had a bit of a goodie for you. The first 5,000 copies of Seeds contained the contents of the album's title. Yes, there were seeds in Seeds."I really like treats; I like things in records," frontman Tim Baker said inside Toronto's Sonic Boom...

Hey Rosetta! Prompt Fist Pumping

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) February 24, 2011 5:44 pm
Toronto audiences are well known for their seeming inability to move at shows, standing with their arms crossed with "I'm too cool to look impressed" expressions on their faces and politely clapping (never too loudly) at the end of tunes. There are, of course, exceptions to this: metal and punk shows, for example, or any gig where a mosh pit...

If you're like me, when you listened to Hey Rosetta!'s 2008 Polaris Music Prize short listed Into Your Lungs (And Around In Your Heart And On Through Your Blood), you thought it was great, but felt something was missing. Lungs itself was an improvement on the band's previous work, but it seemed like just when Hey Rosetta! were gearing up to rock...
