A few notes.
If you're at all into hardcore and/or metal, or that perverse hybrid known as 'metalcore'(part metal, part hardcore - see? SEE?), check out Stick To Your Guns, one of the most brutal bands I've heard in a long while. Rumour has it they're doing a Canadian run of shows this summer; stay tuned. Hit up their myspace for songs and a big breakdown-fest of a video.
punkottawa, whose ad up there is the only banner we've ever hosted in our history, turns five this month, and the fifth anniversary bash goes down Monday, April 24th at Babylon, headlined by locals The Fully Down along with their current tourmates Bayside, A Wilhelm Scream and others. It's Bayside's tour, but the Down will no doubt headline in this, their hometown. C'mon out.
The stack of CDs on our desk to review is huge, and we have a brand-new Thrice feature coming down the pipe - we're clearly not going out on a limb with a specific timeline, but it's a-comin'.
