Fredericton's Slate Pacific is a band I've mentioned a couple times here on the hill, so a new release from them is always a welcome development. The band has a new 103 vinyl EP out now called Eccentrics and Young Professionals , and it just so happens they are playing here at The Seahorse tonight with The Grass and Quiet Parade (who have just recently released their own new, highly regarded album themselves) As I understand it, the two songs on this EP were remnants of [...]

ein stets verehrtes label, das meine unterstützung (wie zumeist im übrigen ohne gegenleistung) erhalten soll: hometapes , diesmal mit dem zweiten solorelease des medicine und electric company mannes, das auf den namen "natural selections" hört und am 24. august erscheinen wird, klassisch irgendwie: brad laner - eyes close partisan records (Ihr erinnert hoffentlich deer tick) haben sich ihn gekrallt, um sogleich ein werk an den mann zu bringen, "a view of the sky" soll ab 28. september zu haben sein, david strackany ist der typ dahinter, [...]
It's kind of fun when the artist says this kind of thing about one of their own projects: The Slate Pacific Remix EP is an absurd idea that somehow works. It's even funner when they're right. I reviewed this Fredericton outfit's last EP, Safe Passage , almost a year ago, and if you were to ask me which EP's I've heard in the last year are a perfect candidate for a remixed version of themselves, I have to confess that this one likely wouldn't come to mind. And that's [...]
Everyone knows someone from their youth who didn't "make it" for one reason or another. Whether it's in a literal sense like death or illness robbing someone of their future, or something like drugs, crime or ambivalence doing the same, everyone can likely think of someone. This idea is what came to mind when listening to Thirteen Kinds of Chemicals , the opening song on Safe Passage , the new EP from The Slate Pacific . In case you think I'm reading too much into that song (something well within the realm [...]
This band just entered my radar. From Fredericton (New Brunswick) comes the 5-piece band The Slate Pacific . Centered around principal songwriter Logan Hawkes, we've got something here that hits a nice balance between moody folk and noisey indie rock. They've been doing some dates in the East Coast with Dog Day, Hey Rosetta! and Wintersleep in the past, more dates in March ( myspace ). Their debut EP ( Safe Passage ) will be out at the end of that month on Forward Music . Here's a taste, Jenn's Not Going To [...]
The third in their series has them hitting up New Brunswick. Interesting to me as while next door province wise I have not even heard of a good number of these artists. Great series Herohill has here - looking forward to the rest. So, take some time with this one. There are a lot of gems you might enjoy. 1) jen's not going to make it :: slate pacific :: [ MP3 ] 2) love and gravity :: edge on spiral :: [ MP3 ] 3) [...]
Long overdue, but not forgotten. That's the theme of the New Brunswick mixtape. I have to say, this one was the first installment that really fit the theme of the project. We had people from the NB scene actively sending in suggestions, MP3s and and as a result the mix showcases bands that a lot of people outside of the Maritimes have probably never heard of. So, hats off to you New Brunswick. Your scene is hungry and booming. We want to send a special thanks to Bones, Kyle and Chuck for hooking us up with some great [...]
