Vancouver band Hard Drugs scored big (with me anyway) with their 2008 self-titled rock opera. On June 19th they return with the follow-up Party Forever . Staying true, Party Forever isn't your typical rock record. Instead it's 10-song and a 52-page book of ink drawings based on the husband and wife team's time in NYC. Listen to "Hardest Part II" here: Here's the track list: Continue reading »

Well my friends, it's that time of year again! November is a key month in the world of Aaron Loves Meghan... it's the month where we started dating, when we got engaged, and, of course, when we got married. And every year around this time we present our latest Aaron Loves Meghan mixtape! For the newbs, on Nov. 17th, 2007, Megs & I were married and at our wedding (which I iPod DJ'd) we gave everyone there a mixtape called Aaron Loves Meghan and, of course, posted it up on tsururadio. Since then, we've [...]

After sifting through my iTunes library for some Treasure Fingers I was in the mood to look for some more of that funky stuff. Luckily, I religiously label most of the tracks in my library by genre just in case I miss an opportunity to post about an artist I like. Fear of Tigers happened to be one of those artists that I rediscovered today. London based producer Benjamin Berry released the first Fear of Tigers album back in December of 2009 titled "Cossus Snufsigalonica", but you can still grab it for free by clicking HERE . [...]

Taken from a most uniquely placed LP entitled "Cossus Snufsigalonica" (which references to 'something quite wonderful' in the producers eyes..) UK's Benjamin Berry aka Fear Of Tigers instils a cryptic and eighties like vision with emotional reach and funk. Simply a track for all those who are not afraid of tigers and man-eating animals! (Well, as long as they are all behind the zoo cage, like...) FEAR OF TIGERS – Study Hard Drugs School

(Ir)regardless of the first 31 years of my life down in humid Tampa, FL, I supposed after nearly 7 years in Capital City aka Columbus, Ohio it's time to finally call this town my home, eh? Eh, indeed. As sad and pathetic as it sounds for a music lover, my knowledge of the local scene is not as strong as I think it should be... Hanging around local pubs is just not the way I learn about music (or really what I do at all), I'm more of a "music finds me" kinda feller and I tend to [...]

Oh my. We have something special planned for Vancouver tomorrow. No More Strangers at the Cobalt plays host to Pierced Arrows a "legendary" act from Portland on Vice records... Pierced Arrows - The Doorway Pierced Arrows - Tripped Out Pierced Arrows - Paranoia "Formed out of the ashes of Dead Moon, who played a big part in shaping the sound of the Pacific North West during it's existence from 872-062. The band consists of [...]

Photography by Me! WHEEE! Okay kiddos, I'm not going to lie... This mixtape was built in a day. It was not curated over a week, it was only test driven once, but that's kinda the point. It's now, for me, now for you, and now for now. Most of these are Oh Teners, some are just Oh Teners To Me (09? 08? whatever). Either way, it's been a short, fast, & furious week of catching up & getting it going, and now, wrapping it up. So. With that in [...]

Photography by Me ! We got one more Sled Island report for ya! Our last full day in Calgary was filled with absolute laziness from a long and epic vacation, 2 days in Vancouver, 2 days on a train exploring western Canada, 2 days in Banff & Lake Louise, and now these few days venturing around checking out band after band, while still exploring Calgary (yay zoo & Recordland !) we were just done! We made it out for breakfast but instead of bands or the museum, it [...]
I've really been swept away by the indie rock opera by the band Hard Drugs (album review). Recently I had the opportunity to talk to the husband and wife team of Jeffry and Jenni from the band about the project and more. Check out our conversation:T.O. Snob: First off, thank you very much for taking the time to speak with us. The Hard Drugs concept LP is out now, what was the inspiration for
Hard Drugs is the brainchild of musician and former Vancouverite Jeffry Lee. Riffing off Tommy, We Will Rock You, and countless other rock operas, Lee has put together one of the first indie rock operas of note (first that I've come across anyway).The opera tells the romantic tale of Aline, a hooker with a heart of gold, and her boyfriend, the junkie Lloyd. To be together Aline decides she
Made you look.Hard Drugs is the new indie rock opera project from Jeffrey Lee. It follows the romantic tale of a drug dealer, a hooker, and her pimp set to music.The double LP features Lee working with members of Black Mountain, Limblifter, Lightning Dust, Pink Mountaintops, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, and many more.We're pleased to have a hand made poster from the group to give away to a lucky

No, not that kind of hard drugs, jeez, what kind of site do you think we're running here? We're talking instead about Jeffrey Lee and his conceptual rock opera, Hard Drugs , a 13-song double album executed with help from some of Vancouver's best and brightest. Indeed, Hard Drugs (the album) boasts contributions from members of Blood Meridian, Black Mountain, Lightning Dust, Pink Mountaintops, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Limb Lifter, Bughouse 5, Bend Sinister, Fan Death, The Mohawk Lodge and Bison, among many others, and now the whole twisted indie rock opera/concept album/gala [...]
