Filed under: News , Exclusive , Between the Notes Getty Images | WireImage There's something happening on Britney Spears ' new album, 'Femme Fatale.' The dubstep breakdowns, electro-savvy producers, distinct lack of syrupy ballads: it actually sounds ... cool. Not cool for sanitized, auto-tuned pop and not cool for a commercial, mass-marketed music product, but honest-to-goodness, legitimately cool. Hip, even. And it's burning up the charts. [...]
Tonight's song comes from John O'Regan, and his indie-pop/electronic-folk (yeah I'm genre tagging something electronic-folk) side-project Diamond Rings; his main project is fronting the Toronto-based indie-rock act The D'Ubervilles. As far as I can tell, the ridiculously charming All Yr Songs can only be found on a 7-inch vinyl split-release featuring Diamond Rings and Kingston, Ontario's PS I Love You. Unfortunately, said release has been sold out and I have no leads on how to get more music from Diamond Rings. If anyone has any information on a forthcoming release from the band, let me know. Until then, you [...]
Friends in Bellwoods 2 is out today. I don't know if it's quite zeitgeist material, but there certainly is the sense that Friends in Bellwoods , a compilation album curated by Casey Mecija and James Bunton of Ohbijou , captures a musical moment in time. Based out of Mecija's home in the Bellwoods area of Toronto, the compilation featured 36 performances by some of Canada's most acclaimed independent musicians, performing new music, demo versions of songs yet-to-be-released, and some pretty choice covers, too. Aside from being a [...]
Go to any city, and you will stumble on little pockets of musical camaraderie. Whether it's a group of art school friends that start playing music or an old house with gear piled in the basement, the creative energy is tangible. Here in Halifax, I guess you'd go with 6015 Willow St , but in Toronto, I'd say that honor goes to Casey Mecija 's house on Bellwoods Avenue . With fellow Ohbijou member James Bunton , they collected songs from their friends and put out a charity record that featured some of the [...]
I'm at the point where I've really had just about all that I can stand of winter, and I'd be lying if I didn't admit to really wanting to stay home on that freezing Friday night last week. But I had invested so much time and energy into promoting this show at The Silver Dollar that I knew I had to go. Add to that the extra motivation of the fact that a friend of mine, whom I hadn't seen for a couple of months, had just returned from Mexico itching to go to a show, and you've [...]
myspace Guelph's Green Go are setting up for a big year. With a full length coming soon, the fresh faced band is already getting CBC3 love and their 3-song teaser got some big press from the Toronto Star and Chart Attack, but I think it's their remix project that is going to really grab the spotlight. They've taken 5 of the biggest indie rock outfits in Canada – The D'Ubervilles , Women , The Rural Albertage Advantage , Born Ruffians and Gentlemen Reg – and [...]
(photo: Myspace) I never read the Thomas Hardy novel Tess of the D'Ubervilles in university. The only Thomas Hardy novel I ever (attempted to) read was Jude The Obscure . I think Canadian band The D'Ubervilles chose the better of the two titles to name themselves after, as any reference to obscurity in a band name is a sure-fire way to find yourselves perpetually overlook and under-appreciated. The D'Ubervilles certainly aren't under-appreciated, as they have become one of the most prominent bands to emerge from [...]
I have to admit that a part of me has been enjoying the last few weeks away from the concert goings. I've read somewhere that the best way to know whether or not you're addicted to something is to try doing without it for awhile and see how you hold up. At this point I can honestly say that live music has finally become an enjoyable pastime in my life without being the hardcore addiction that it once was. So, now that I know I can quit anytime, it only makes sense to get right back at it again, doesn't [...]
Back again, it's the sequel. This time around we are delivering an extra padded collection of tracks from some of the great Ontario bands (25 songs instead of 20). We tried to keep it a bit more provincial based, not just Toronto-centric so we added some acts from Ottawa, the Peter-patch and the Hammer. As always, we added mostly smaller acts that deserve to be heard or bands we really think are ready to explode. I'm pretty sure that the Constantines, Feist, Hayden or the Tokyo Police Club don't really need a few more hits from our bong [...]

The D'Urbervilles – We Are The Hunters

AWmusicReleased February 18, 2008 If you've never heard of The D'Urbervilles I suggest you go now to iTunes and buy a copy of We Are The Hunters. Go right now, I can wait. You think I'm kidding, I'm not. D'Urbervilles really is one of Canada's best kept secrets but like all secrets they won't be a secret much longer. This group, based in Guelph, is making some of the most outstanding and original music out there. The D'Urbervilles are not to be confused with a roots/country band by the same [...]
