You don't have to be a fan of the 80's songstress Sade to enjoy this smooth new track from Toronto's Times Neue Roman . It's jazzy undertones and psychedelic rhyming will make you crave some B.C. bud. And coincidentally enough, this jam was recorded at a cabin deep within our province's outback. So take a minute and let your mind move in slow motion. posted by @clarkbs
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 [...]
We missed the Video Hits last week, and as a result we're bursting at the seams with video goodness. Specifically, we have a bunch of vids from what the majority of Canadians not from the Atlantic region refer to as "Eastern Canada": Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. So let's do it. One of my favorite songs from the last couple months is A. Is For Animal by Montreal band Honheehonhee. So it's exciting news to hear that the band has a full length on the way this summer ( [...]

This is it! We end things this year with a bang! For me, 2010 was filled with plenty of insanity , so I thought I would celebrate with an end-of-the-year, star-studded jam, featuring my favorite bands telling insane tales about being on tour ! the interview show's All-Star Jam "A Tribute to the Tour!" Yes, that's right! FOUR bands and FOUR tales about touring! When I reached him, [...]
Remember this girl from 2006? Uffie 's back. It's time for the re-attack of the damn crazy brat ! Back in 2006, Uffie was one of the most controversial figures in indie music. She couldn't quite sing, she couldn't quite rap , yet Uffie was being played in all the hottest clubs. She was backed by Ed Banger and hung out with some of the most cutting edge guys in the [...]
Times Neue Roman ALERT! The TNR guys are in our fair city right now, working on their next record. They will also be doing a show at the Cobalt this Friday as part of the magical Olio Festival. A great chance to catch one of Canada's undiscovered hip hop upstarts. Early on, TNR got the tag " Nintendo rap ," but **please** do not use that term. These guys don't like it. They even came up with their own name for what [...]
Live from "The End" – the band's Kensington Market (Toronto) basement studio – Times Neue Roman rock with a general tone and attitude of teenage immortality. Comprised of an award winning poet, Arowbe Arowbe Arowbe (Robert Bolton) and composer, Alexander The, TNR's peerless 'one of one' sound has been called "nintendo-punk-rap," and "post-rap" (although the band prefers "Rap Deco") by media and supporters. Since debuting at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2008, Times Neue Roman have been rousing crowds at basement jams, rooftops, auto-garages, house parties, shitty pubs, glitzy clubs, CMW, NXNE, the Juno Fest and out the back [...]
Photograph by Alex Felipe With their decadent new release, Talking Sporty , Times Neue Roman cut a long slit down an elegant dress and remind those who would dismiss so-called "nintendo-rap" that sometimes the senses are drawn most to what's not there. Stripped down to the barest digits, the sparsity at the core of these songs serves primarily to clear a space for the style to ooze through. Alexander The's brash staccato beats hold up a mirror to the percussive precision of Arowbe Arowbe Arowbe's vocals, and while there is always a paradoxical danger with [...]

Not only is Winnipeg's favorite son, Chris Jericho a WWE superstar, but he also has written a book, starred in film and tv-oh yeah, and he has his own band, F o z z y . He teamed up with industry stalwart Rich Ward , who was a founder of rap-metal pioneers Stuck Mojo . I asked Rich why he thinks the genre doesn't get a lot of respect and he had some surprising things to say about metal-rap-and Winnipeg's [...]
The self-described (and by no means out of line) "sonic tour-de-force" Broad Way Sleep released their self-titled debut LP on February 9th; Too Late is the first single supporting the album, and was released in the first half of November last year. The Toronto song-writing collective is made up of Ralph Joseph, Alexander The (Styrofoam [...]
I've been chatting with some friends about this band, Times Neue Roman, for the past two weeks, trying to figure out exactly what to expect from them next month when their new single and video drops. I've given their latest EP Zombies: The To Die Remixes a few listens now, an INTELLIGENIX/ELECTROBOUNCE release, and the tracks are a fun mix; PS BEUYS' minimal remix sounds like something Burial might do, Peter Project's has a Breakbeat remix that is my pick off the album, there are a couple of good synth pop tracks, and hometown hero Barletta comes through in true [...]
Times Neue Roman – Record Store (Makeshift Remix)
Times Neue Roman 's "To Die EP" is back from the dead. The band will release: "Zombies: The To Die Remixes" on INTELLEGENIX/ELECTROBOUNCE today. The reworked EP features remixes, edits, sketches and sequels to songs off the original EP as well as a bonus remix of the bands latest single, "Roq Roq". Since debuting in 2008, Times Neue Roman have been making big waves.

I met Times Neue Roman while working on a piece for R3 on the meaning of "place" Canadian hip hop. You can check that out here . In the piece, Arowbe , TMR's lead, was against overtly representing "place" in his music. Here is the result of a recent TNR jam session with indie TO band Tonka Puma . (Shhhhh! A leaked demo for the interview show and winniecooper.net fans only !) Times Neue [...]
Local boy makes good! Everyone loves a success story-and here's another one! Vancouver-to-TO-transplant Arowbe and his crew Times Neue Roman were on your favorite show back in June. Since then, one of their tracks has been video gamed! So, being the cruel bastard I am, I thought I would email them some questions for all the guys to answer while they are stuck in the tour van-on their first tour. the interview show : You guys are on a tour right now.
