Greetings, fine readers. I just found out two minutes ago that I'm going to a doubleheader ball game with my dad next week(GO LYNX GO!), so I'm in a pretty good mood. So good in fact that I'll give you today's Essential Listening right off the bat: Nodes of Ranvier have come outta Sioux Falls, South Dakota with two very strong albums on the Facedown imprint, the first being 2002's Lost Senses, More Innocence and followed up by last year's stellar-in-every-way self-titled album(with artwork by renowned hardcore dude Derek Hess). So very, very good. Find them and own them and mosh in your bedroom to them.
This Just In: downhere's vocalist has a brother named Dave Martel, and this dude's in a band called either On Forward, or First Forward, or "something like that", according to Montreal source Car. What up, Car?? If anyone knows anything about anything here, lemme know.
sweetdisaster has two supporters along with their families down in Fort Myers, Florida, and they're currently - like, as you read this - being pummelled by Hurricane Charley; keep them in your thoughts and prayers: Meaghan and her husband and son, along with Cory and his family. Thanks, guys.
Horse the Band were recently here in Ottawa, and now they're over in Europe and the United Kingdom, but since you probably don't live here OR there, how's about you check out the video for 'Bunnies' instead, right over yonder? Word. Here're the American tour dates following the jaunt overseas:
