Yessir, I think it's time to put out a list of what I consider the best five post-rock albums of the year. Most of them have something drastically different from your typical post-rock, and have therefore merited themselves to this list, so enjwoi: #5 - Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band , formally known as A Silver Mt. Zion - 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons While Menuk's voice (and the band's newest name) never ceases to piss me off, this album deserves some credit. It got [...]

I'm not going to lie, Tomcat Combat 's debut full-length I'm Okay, You're Okay wasn't the easiest thing for me to review (then again, if we're really being honest, considering I'm the hill's "rap guy", I'm always surprised when I come up with anything coherent about songs that don't have 16 bars and the boom or bap). The fact is, we just don't get a lot of instrumental, or post-rock records submitted for review. Luckily, this one happens to be very enjoyable. I'm Okay, You're Okay has actually [...]

It is with great honour that I present to you all Tomcat Combat , an awesome post-rock band that happens to be from our native Canada (more specifically Halifax, NS).

Reunited, double LP, world excited Word to the Genius. Well, we have no LP, double or otherwise, but the Ack and I are reunited, as he's finally made it back to Halifax after a long roadtrip across the country. And I don't know about the world, but Ack and I are excited, and we're passing that excitement on to you in the form of free stuff. Is there a better way to celebrate? I think not. Anyway, I think this is actually the first Halifax-based contest we've had [...]
