News to me, but perhaps not to you, the D'Urbervilles are now Matters. Here's a video from their new 73: Web:: matters.bandcamp.com
Friends In Bellwoods Getting kind of hyper-local for this week's selection. About a week ago , Toronto post-punk stalwarts The D'Urbervilles appeared ready to be calling it a day, putting a cryptic "The D'Urbs are dead" message on their website along with a countdown clock. Many were disappointed but not surprised if this was indeed the case, given frontman John O'Reagan's successes with electro-pop side-project Diamond Rings . But as it turned out, that was just marking time until the band emerged from their chrysalis, butterfly-style, in their new guise as Matters [...]
Canvas Media There's records that you hear and, regardless of how you personally feel about them, you know that they will be a big thing, that their contents will resonate with the masses and will prove to be game-changers for the artist who created it. Timber Timbre's 2009 self-titled album was not one of these, or at least I didn't hear it. Building swampy textures and tempos around Taylor Kirk's low, drawling Randy Newman-ish vocals, it didn't seem the sort of record with a lot of crossover appeal and yet it did [...]
Good morning and happy new comics day! D'Urbervilles finally released new materials, but under a new name, Matters . Check out the band's "debut" single/video, "Get In Or Get Out" below; you can also order the 7-inch single here !
This will be the final post on mentioning the name "The D'Urbervilles". The big news that came out but somehow went under the radar on March 28th. The name change of the D'Urbervilles to Matters . There was a countdown last week and some people were speculating that the band was going to break up with a final album. Mostly due with John's other and successful project as Diamond Ring It was a sigh of relief for the big D'Urbervilles fans. [...]
Last week I read that Toronto band the D'Urbervilles had called it quits after their homepage and twitter were proclaiming "The D'Urbs Are Dead" and "R.I.P. thedurbs.ca". Well, turns out the band isn't dead, the name is. This John O'Regan (of Diamond Rings ) fronted band is now called Matters and will be releasing their debut single (Get In Or Get Out) on limited edition 7-inch vinyl via O'Regan's Hype Lighter label April 5th. Look for them live in Toronto and surrounding areas with grunge rockers PS I Love You around that time, full length album in the [...]

It was the final show for i(heart)music at Zaphod Beeblebrox on December 11, 2010. Kind of sad, bittersweet and fun at the show. The show started off with The Darcys . Its becoming a trend for them to be in Ottawa once a month. They pulled off a great set. Still waiting on when their second album be out. At least they had new t-shirts on sale. Second was Loon Choir . They [...]
It was a busy fourth day at Pop Montreal. I started off the day checking out Puces Pop . Puces Pop is Montreal's largest do-it-yourself festival where people can come and celebrate all types of independent creation! All I can say was there was alot of people there. Interesting to see what unique stuff that comes out from it. Also it was the day I actually tried out the Bixi bikes . Those bikes are so fun! I went to the Notman House for the [...]

Diamond Rings -- aka John O'Regan -- blends the deep, throaty vocals of Joy Division 's Ian Curtis with David Bowie 's Ziggy Stardust aesthetics. His Canadian Music Fest appearance Friday night had him matching a pink and purple rainbow unicorn banner with his over-the-top eyeliner, spandex tights, high tops and over-sized sweater. While the casual listener may identify the music as another gender-bending glam boi, Diamond Rings is forging his own path, identifying as "singer-songwriter with a beat," he says, which truly shows in [...]
Frank Yang Wednesday night's in-store at Criminal Records had something for everyone. For The Besnard Lakes , it was an opportunity to refine the translation of their just-released new record The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night into live performance before setting out on a world tour that would take them and their much-anticipated new album across Europe and North America. For those in attendance, it was a chance to be amongst the first anywhere to hear the new songs live and in an intimate - and free - [...]
Toronto - "So this is an interesting evening ... I think, anyways." These were the words of Peasant, AKA Damien DeRose, as he began his set this evening, and truer words were never spoken. This was certainly an interesting evening, one full of a wide range of musicians and a lively crowd. Peasant started the night off early, playing a short but sweet unaccompanied set of acoustic guitar based songs which brought to mind performers such as Elliott Smith or Badly Drawn Boy. The crowd [...]

Toronto label Out of this Spark celebrated its third anniversary at the Garrison in Toronto Friday night. The party was a showcase for all four of the label's current bands: The D'Urbervilles, Forest City Lovers, Evening Hymns, and Jenny Omnichord. Three of the groups have new albums coming out this year, so we were treated to many new songs. Jenny Omnichord is the solo project of Jenny Mitchell, a Guelph musician who also plays with other bands, including the Burning Hell . Mitchell is [...]
Filed under: New Music , You Oughta Know , Canada One of the hottest music videos to hit your inbox last summer featured a lycra-clad singer shaking it in front of a green screen like he just stepped out of a Vanilla Ice video. The ditty in question, 'All Yr Songs,' by Toronto pop act Diamond Rings , was bouncy, bright and catchy as hell, and music blogs rightfully heaped on the praise. But the video, with its tights-and-acid wash wardrobe, glam day-glo makeup and charmingly awkward dance moves -- [...]
Well, we are three days into the new year and here I am looking back at 2009 instead of forward into 2010. As always I'm a bit late to the gate. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday and that the next year will bring lots of music into your lives. As Nietzsche said, "Without music life would be a mistake." The year 2009 was interesting for sure. We saw Lady Gaga burst slowly onto the scene (her debut single took 22 weeks to climb to the top of the [...]
