By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) May 25, 2009 1:21 pm
Five Blank Pages have yet to fill us in on exactly why this Over The Top Festival show was their final performance, but one possible reason was quite evident: singer/keyboardist Pinar Ozyetis, wife of lead singer/guitarist Noyan Hilmi, is noticeably pregnant. Also, with dynamo openers Oh No Forest Fires taking off, Five Blank Pages bassist (and...

Oh No Forest Fires — The War On Geometry

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) October 27, 2008 3:12 pm
The War On Geometry's title implies a certain cheekiness, and if you know anything about Oh No Forest Fires, you know they're not only hyperactive, but definitely cheeky. This disc is surprisingly well-rounded and not nearly as hyperactive as its lengthy song titles would suggest. After leadoff track "It's Not Fun And Games Unless Someone...

If we had an emo alert of some kind, it'd be going off right now. It it had a sound effect, it'd probably be like the red alert from Star Trek: Basically, this news is pretty heavy on the emo. We're actually wondering if anything could be more emo than this. War Child's just announced a special covers benefit concert in which bands will...

Oh No Forest Fires Party For Holidays

in
By Mark Teo (CHARTattack) December 15, 2009 2:24 pm
There was no mistaking this was a Christmas party, since the stage was sparsely decorated with strings of mini electric lights and the microphone stands adorned with cheap paper snowflakes. But thankfully, attendees of the Audio Blood's Jingle Bell Rock bash didn't have to endure banal conversations, painful sweaters and the junior...

Oh No Forest Fires — "New Cove Road Back Home"

in
By CHARTattack Staff September 14, 2009 2:40 pm
Oh No Forest Fires' nature-filled video for The War On Geometry's "New Cove Road Back Home" was shot behind singer/guitarist Rajiv Thavanathan's mother's house in St. John's, Nfld. Why? Well, he's originally from there, the song is named after a street in St. John's and it's also about a lady from St. John's, so it made sense.

These are all the options," says Oh No Forest Fires guitarist/singer Rajiv Thavanathan. "Or you keep running so long as there's room. More likely, you'll get...
