Finally got a chance to listen to Eight And A Half 's self-titled debut album which is out on Arts & Crafts . Eight And A Half consist of: Justin Peroff ( Broken Social Scene ) Dave Hamelin (ex- The Stills ) Liam O'Neil (ex- The Stills ) At first I thought or heard that K.Drew (Kevin for those wondering) was in this project but I was totally wrong. All I have to say is "Wow! I actually like this album!". [...]
As you may have noticed, we love music videos around here. We even have a sexiest video award wherein we name our top 5 videos from the previous year. Admittedly, most aren't particularly sexy, but they are fantastic. Today, however, we just so happen to have a couple of videos that actually qualify as sexy... Today CFCF releases Exercises , his 2nd EP in as many years and because [...]
Perhaps it's the unending desire to be outside when stuck at a desk all week, but I've been craving some music. Electronic. The kind that makes you walk slower or put your windows down as your screech around the winding, hot asphalt, and say "Hey weekend, you up to anything this weekend?" In the electronic spirit, we've thrown some remixes in with some very solid tracks, some of which have been out for a little bit but might have eluded your ears.. Before we got too deep, we want to bring attention to Memoryhouse , who remixed Tycho's [...]
It's happening again this year! Record Store Day 2012!! This will be my third year trying to get whatever "limited edition" records around.

J. Michelle Martin-Coyne So what are you doing June 16? Are you one of those so conditioned by years of Toronto Radiohead shows selling out in a heartbeat that you tripped over yourself getting tickets for their Downsview gig as soon as they went on sale, even though the new venue was over twice the size of the Amphitheatre and general admission? Or are you one of those conscious of the fact that this is a King Of Limbs tour and realistically speaking, they probably won't be playing the stuff [...]
Shervin Iainez Rose Cousins is not a new artist. The Charlottetown by way of Halifax artist has been releasing music for the better part of a decade and I've technically heard her before as she's guested on any number of Maritime-born records including Joel Plaskett's, but I'd not heard any of her own material until her third full-length album We Have Made A Spark , released at the end of February. And clearly that's been my loss. It's not a record that stops you in your [...]

This week provides an abundance of secret-genius artists we couldn't be more happy to bring to the spotlight, including Dante Vs. Zombies, Eight and a Half and Sucre. It's really a week to keep an eye on mergers of groups we love mixing it together. The electronic-rock trio of Eight and a Half release their self-titled debut off of Arts & Crafts and from what we heard it's wonderful, so get the album . They've got Justin Peroff (Broken Social Scene), Dave Hamelin (The Stills) and Liam O'Neil (The Stills), whom have put forth something [...]
The math is simple, even if the equation ends up looking a little complex: (Justin Peroff - Broken Social Scene) + (Dave Hamelin + Liam O'Neil - The Stills) = Eight and a Half . It's a long and complicated story about how the pair of former Stills musicians and the drummer of Broken Social Scene hooked up and started playing some seriously heavy synth based indie rock, and it really doesn't make a shred of difference anyway. The fact of the matter is these three are now together, they're not a side project, and [...]
It's a shame when a beloved band breaks up. However, as they say when one door closes another one opens. In this case the door that opened is the Toronto-based Eight And A Half . The band is the new project from Justin Peroff (formerly of Broken Social Scene ), and Dave Hamelin and Liam O'Neil (previously of The Stills). The group release their self-titled debut full length on April 10th. Dreamy and textured is the aura for this record. That tone is set with the opening instrumental "When I Was [...]

Young Empires, Dinosaur Bones, Eight and a Half and Dismaj @Sound Academy
by teepoo On Friday, I attended Bookie's Big Blast mostly because I wanted to see Eight and a Half. I thought they were actually the first band on and I was insanely early. However, I had made it just in time to catch newcomers named Dismaj. The band is from Cambridge, Ontario. They're kind of a strange progressive rock band with some world flare. I definitely heard some east asian influences, it was kind of neat. They had a bit of sloppy parts, but it didn't really matter so much because the frontman [...]

Watch: Eight and a Half - "Go Ego"
We'll admit that there's not much going on in the video for "Go Ego" beyond the arty direction of Gaelle Jaunay-Desroches and, of course, the obvious eye candy of actress Jessica Stroup. The Canadian trio Eight and a Half -- Broken Social Scene drummer Justin Peroff along with Dave Hamelin and Liam O'Neil of The Stills -- released their fine eponymous debut this week and we'll also readily admit that it took a few listens to really take to what we've described as "dense, dreamy alt-pop, cacophonous blips and bleeps joining in [...]

Eight and a Half Singer Dave Hamelin on Moving From 'Utopian' Montreal to Toronto, the 'Capital of Uncool'
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Guest Blogger Dave Hamelin Eight and a Half is an indie-rock supergroup made up of former members of the Stills , Dave Hamelin and Liam O'Neil, and Broken Social Scene drummer Justin Peroff. As Peroff is based in Toronto, the ex-Stills guys decided to relocate from Montreal to the Big Smoke. But, as Hamelin's artist blog below makes clear, it was [...]
