Just a little reminder about a band headquartered right here in lil' ol' Ottawa: Buried Inside are among the most badass rock bands in history. Want proof? Here you go, fool.
I caught a soul singer named Lewis Taylor on Late Night with Conan O'Brien earlier this week and was absolutely leveled by this cat's slide-guitar attack - I'm having a hard time tracking down a personal website at the moment, but his record label's website is streaming his stuff; head over here and check the top-right corner. Then just keep clicking til you find his songs going. Rad stuff.
Leave it to the Australians to get the jump on me: word from down under is that Horse the Band's new record will be called Pizza. It is thematically, of course, all about pizza. As with so much stuff around here, we have no idea if this is a joke or not. We'll see. The "artwork" can be seen over here. [noisetheory]
WEIRD: former Lifetime bassist Linda Kay was the same Linda Kay arrested last week for possession of human remains(creeeeepy). She's now a stripper in New Jersey, and has thus far failed to tell police exactly how she obtained the body parts. Then her hundred-thousand-dollar bail was forfeited. Nice. This whole thing gives me the willies.
This is no good at all: Underoath have dropped off the rest of this year's Warped Tour for "personal reasons". The September cross-Canada tour is still slated to happen, however. Dang it! [AP]
Our friends(and one-time Underoath tour-mates) in Thrice have either completely lost their minds or are the most amazing thing to happen to music since The Beatles: the band are aiming to release four self-sufficient albums in 2007 - all of them will be stand-alone record, but they'll have a common theme running through them. Singer Dustin Kensrue told me last spring that they were planning on doing something that would "out-prog Coheed and Cambria," and this is apparently it. Nice.
The Nintendo Fusion Tour is back for 2006, featuring Relient K and Emery in supporting slots behind headliners Hawthorne Heights(big surprise there). Opening will be a very deserving band - Long Island's The Sleeping. For the tour dates, check out the website. Nothing in Canada.
September 6th will be awesome, because Dead FM, the newest effort from Strike Anywhere, hits that day. Two songs from said album, 'Prisoner Echoes'(here) and 'The Promise'(here) are online for your listening pleasure. They're also coming to Ottawa this fall; stay tuned for more info.
