Hello folks! Ever had a band stay with you ? Every been in a band and had trouble finding a place to stay after the show? Last summer, I did a freelance piece for CBC Radio 3 on this topic. It aired today on Lanarama on CBC Radio 3. Scott Wood and Couch Surfing They usually put up these projects on their blog, so I can link to it, but they didn't this time. Sadz. I will put up my rough edit so you can [...]

Frank Yang One of the perks of being my own boss, as it were, is that no one can tell me what I have to cover when I'm out and about, particularly at a festival like Halifax Pop Explosion . And since I've already had and taken the opportunity to see many of the big names playing the festival, I went into this week with the mandate of seeing stuff I hadn't seen before, be it on recommendations from others, positive MySpace first impressions or just because it's located nearby and I'm lazy. The [...]

In the slightly modified words of an extremely drunken Gus' Pub patron the Ack and I had the pleasure of chatting with some time ago: what's up with HPX 2010 guys, is it awesome? I know we're only one day in, but it sounds like there was still some fun had last night, which bodes well for the rest of the week. What of herohill you ask, when will the Ack and I break our HPX 2010 duck? All signs are pointing to tonight at the Boxer The Horse / My Brightest Diamond / [...]
Don't look now but here comes another solid band out of the Great White North that sound like they are on to something! May I introduce to you a wonderful little trio from Toronto that goes by the name of Styrofoam Ones. I caught wind of their new single entitled Blue Lines which to these ears sounds like a rip-roaring electro-rock affair that wouldn't sound out of place on a Primal Scream record. I reckon even Bobby Gillespie would approve of the razor-sharp guitars and the tight elastic bass. The song is taken from the band's new self-titled [...]
Hey peeps... Styrofoam Ones are playing in Vancouver this Friday, September 24th at the Cobalt for the Olio Festival. And they love Vancouver winnie readers so much, they wanna give you free shiz. Fer realz . This contest winner gets a pair of passes to the show, S1's t-shirt and some limited edition S1 vinyl. Yummy. This skill-tester comes straight from the band: Where did STYROFOAM ONES [...]
Styrofoam Ones' "Blue Lines" is a full, satisfying rock & roll track peppered with subtle synths. The haunting surreal imagery in the music video, directed by Ante Kovac, is almost... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
Þá er komið að því enn eina ferða að skyggnast í fimbuldjúpar hvelfingar pósthólfa Rjómans og sjá hvaða furður og fantastík leynast þar. Styrofoam Ones er áhugaverð kanadísk rokksveit sem vinnur nú að sinni fyrstu plötu með upptökustjóranum Jon Drew (Tokyo Police Club, Fucked Up) og er áætlað að hún komi út snemma á næsta ári. Meðfylgjandi er hinsvegar smáskífan "Blue Lines" af nýlegri samnefndri EP plötu sveitarinnar. Styrofoam Ones - BlueLines Styrofoam Ones - BlueLines Dúóið enska [...]
der musikmarkt ist so breit, es wird immer irgendwo veröffentlicht. wer sich intensiv mit der materie beschäftigt, dem wird auch auffallen, dass es das vielbeschworene sommerloch nicht gibt. es ist maximal ein löchchen, das sich auftut, wenn die großen firmen etwas herunterfahren. aber alle anderen kämpfen weiter ums überleben. wir auch: aus chicago und neu auf abandoned love records , mit "piecemeal" wollen sie ab 17. august gewaltig durchstarten, allerdings eher auf samtenen pfoten, sehr feinsinnig, sehr schön: like pioneers - gift like a holiday [...]
Styrofoam Ones are a Toronto trio meshing current club obsessions of synth sounds and pop hooks with the core DIY ethos and energy of the punk scene. Founding members Josh McGuirk (bass & vocals) and Alexander The (synths & vocals), came from opposite ends of Toronto, and met in the middle over a mutual appreciation for cult films and dollar bin records. They added drummer Clay Jones to round out the sound with a thrashing Math-rock beat and a clear future. If you're into music blogs, you probably ran across their intro to the scene in [...]
New music from former Sleater-Kinney member Corin Tucker, the Chapel Hill-based collective Lost in the Trees, and Toronto acts Styrofoam Ones & Bravestation.
Blue Lines is the new single taken from Toronto based Styrofoam Ones self-titled six track EP. I guess it is what you would term dance-rock or power pop maybe, but either way, it has enough drive and oomph about it place it in the repeat category. Driving guitars, anthemic vocals and a touch of attitude mean they stand out from the plethora of bands inhabiting this sort of space and mark them out as ones to keep an eye on. Visit their MySpace here or website here . You can [...]

Styrofoam Ones - O.T.T.A.P. (Torro Torro Remix) Our good friends Torro Torro have just flipped the Styrofoam Ones' city anthem O.T.T.A.P. into a fast paced head fuck. Torro Torro opts for a heavy electro treatment of the track, packed with tons of swing and vocals ready to pump up the party. This track is a tried and true banger, especially for the big festival sets. Torro Torro have recently received support from LA Riots, Lee Mortimer, Zombies for Money, Neoteric, Rynecologist, The American Dream Team and AutoErotique.

Les deux canadiens de Torro Torro nous ont récemment envoyé un mail pour donner de leurs nouvelles, car cela faisait longtemps qu'on avait pas entendu parler d'eux. Après nous avoir lâché deux nouveaux morceaux, on ne peut que constater leur forme explosive ! Torro Torro a donc produit deux remixes pour leurs deux compatriotes canadiens Gooffee et Styrofoam. Des tracks ultra massives, dont "Gooffee - Flow (Torro Torro Remix)" qui nous refait penser à leur remix du titre "Gladiator". Ça cogne sévère. Gooffee - Flow (Torro Torro Remix) ( [...]
(Photo by Paige ) I really didn't think this week would be good for releases with a lot of artists at SXSW and Miami, but it seems I was wrong. Here's the great stuff I didn't post this week.
