Last night Ottawa's own Robot Kill City had their second of two CD-release parties, this one at the venerable Club SAW downtown, and together with For the Mathematics, We, The Accused, Viscera's Recital and Between the Broken, the dance party vibe was had all night long. Man, this city has some good bands. Congrats to RKC for getting their record out - it takes a lot of work to release a CD to the public.
There's a rumour floating around that the Taste of Chaos tour stop in Montreal(Killswitch Engage, Underoath et al) has sold around four thousand tickets. This means that there's probably no way I can still get ahold of one. That sucks.
In other show news, tonight in three hours is The Dillinger Escape Plan with The End. Far as I know it's not sold out, so bring your fifteen bucks plus whatever else for merch to Babylon(317 Bank St.) at five. Word.
Congratulations to DJ Shadow, who's expecting twins!! [chartattack]
Former Floodgate Records act Number One Gun have jumped ship to sign with - you guessed it - Tooth & Nail Records. Their label debut'll be out later this summer, produced by - again, you guessed it - Aaron Sprinkle. So it'll sound great. You can hear some of their older material over here. [punkhardcore]
Whoa! This shook me up on a Saturday afternoon: aversion.com, for the first time in years, has a brand-new look. Awesome. And so is the feature article on Armor For Sleep, whose debut album Dream To Make Believe I truly enjoy. They have a new one coming on the 22nd of this month called What To Do When You're Dead. Clunky title, maybe, but I bet it's a good record.
I'm a fan of this band from Montreal/Toronto called Bionic; hardcore label Thorp Records rereleased their 2002 album Deliverance recently, and while co-main man Ian Blurton(Change of Heart, Blurtonia, C'mon) isn't with the band anymore, that still leaves Jonathan Cummins(ex-Doughboys! Remember 'Shine'??) holding down the fort. Rawk and roll. Check a review.
