Congrats to one our faves of the last year, Mr. Joel Plaskett, who hauled home a record six East Coast Music Awards a couple weeks ago!
A killer tour for fans of new-school hardcore that somehow sounds oldschool: Long Island's Crime In Stereo are headed out with three Canadian five-star acts: Winnipeg wrecking crew Comeback Kid, Van City's Daggermouth(Playboy Assassin forever) and Toronto's Cancer Bats. The tour kicks off February 29th and runs through March 20th; check any of the band's MySpace pages for the dates(none of them Canadian, sadly).
Essential Listening for today, February 20th, comes from the far side of the world - at least from my eastern Canada perspective: Saving Grace(Harvest Earth Records) hail from New Zealand, and they are a positive annihilating machine, as evidenced by 'For So Long' - check it out.
