David Usher In Bracebridge

"This is a night of experimentation," said David Usher, near the beginning of his performance at the Rene M. Caisse Memorial Theatre in Bracebridge, Ont. "We'll be playing a lot of songs from the new album that we've never played before." While the tour officially got underway on Oct. 1 in Toronto, this was the first full...

David Usher — Wake Up And Say Goodbye

in
By Jared Morano (CHARTattack) September 15, 2008 3:51 pm
I stayed in touch with David Usher's musical career after Moist evaporated mainly out of respect for his former group, but also because Morning Orbit's strong singles hinted the vocalist would achieve greater things under his own name. After Morning Orbit came Hallucinations, an atmospheric record with no real singles and few inspired moments. But...

David Usher — If God Had Curves

in
By David McDougall (CHARTattack) April 26, 2005 12:13 pm
The latest release in David Usher’s post-Moist, radio-friendly solo career, If God Had Curves is thankfully devoid of sampled opera singers or awkward Tracy Chapman covers. Instead, what we get is a simple pop album, straightforward and definitely still on the Top 40 track. Fortunately, amoung all the hushed sing-speaking and gentle production,...

David Usher — Morning Orbit

in
By John Teshima (CHARTattack) July 24, 2001 11:16 am
While his first solo offering tended towards introspective and uninspiring noodling, Morning Orbit is much more straightforward and engaging. Infectious melodies abound and Usher’s lyric writing is much more focused and precise. Usher has learned to play skilfully with dynamics in his songs, altering their pace, groove and intensity to great...

Evolve Festival organizer Jonas Colter was arrested by a Mountie in Halifax last weekend and charged $4,500 for postering. The Chronicle Herald Yellowcard are releasing a new album on Hopeless Records after a two-year hiatus. They'll continue to be overshadowed by more popular emo bands that no one gives a crap about, either. Alternative...

David Usher Goes Acoustic

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 17, 2009 2:35 pm
David Usher is working on a new album that will feature acoustic versions of songs from his back catalogue. Usher first got the idea to record an acoustic album in December, and asked his fans what songs they wanted to hear the next month. He's been recording the disc since January. No track list or title have been announced yet, but most fans...

Pumping: David Usher — Strange Birds

I much prefer David Usher when he's trying to do the "sensitive guy with delicate music and a big heart" thing (like on this album, for instance) than when he's trying to rock out. The latter comes across as awkward because it's not him.

Kowalewicz Leads Sexy Battle

David Usher might still be ridiculously far ahead of anyone in our readers' poll's best Canadian album category, but he's pretty much neck-and-neck with Billy Talent singer Ben Kowalewicz for sexiest Canadian man. Kowalewicz leads, but Usher is just behind him. We're willing to bet all the insane Usher fans who are reading this are now about to...

David Usher: Strange Bird In A Strange Land

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) May 1, 2007 11:30 am
In creating his fourth solo album, Strange Birds, David Usher made an unusual choice that took advantage of his relative anonymity in his adopted home of New York City. He booked a series of small, intimate club gigs to test-drive the new material — something he could never do in Canada, where he routinely sells out large venues to his well-...

David Usher: New York City Boy

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) April 19, 2007 5:00 pm
David Usher is something of a citizen of the world. He was born in England and has lived in Thailand, Malaysia and, of course, Canada. There's also all that time he's spent on tour over the years since Moist broke onto the scene in the '90s. For this reason, it's not surprising that he's put roots down in yet another country: New York City....

With David Usher's current video, "Alone In The Universe," kicking up the jams in the lucky #16 slot on the MuchMusic video countdown, it was odd to receive a phone call from Princess Charlotta inviting us to another video shoot. In a few weeks fans will most likely be delighted with the follow-up video and single, "Black Black...
