There was a time, anywhere between 1993 and 1997, that you couldn't go anywhere without white dudes in Starter caps booming Rage Against the Machine out of their parents' Honda Accord without any concern for the political messages that defined Zach and crew. For most of their middle class fans, it was more about the adrenaline rush we got every time the band would go off in front of a huge National TV audience or the sense of liberation when everyone started yelling " fuck you I won't do [...]

After being at this show on April 29, 2011. I headed off to Mavericks for the Prairie Scene . Excited to see Library Voices live! The band sure bought the fun into the Prairie Scene with their blend of alterna-pop Haven't seen them since last year where I was at NXNE. I didn't get to see Northcote but people told me that the band was great. Surprised to see Mavericks full of people! [...]
It's a month late and a few dollars short, but I wanted to throw up some videos from NXNE. They are grainy, lo-fi and probably not worth the time it took to upload them... BUT ENJOY! Old Man Luedecke live @ The Dakota (herohill / killbeat showcase) ft. Jon Janes Volcanoless in Canada live @ The Gladstone Royal Wood live @ Lee's Palace ft. Amelia Curran [...]

I hate the feeling I get in my gut when I discover some amazing new artist/album/whatever and then find out that they played in Edmonton the week before. I wish someone could just tell me: "Hey. This band is coming to play. You've never heard them, but you will soon fall in love with them". Also, I am often told that blogs should cater to a niche subject or service, so why not this? So I'm going to add this as a regular feature. That being said, if you know of hot upcoming shows, please e-mail me and [...]

(photo: facebook.com) They call their music "sexy acoustic-indie-dance party" over at their Facebook profile page, but I don't know if that genre plug-in does justice to Volcanoless in Canada 's frantic, frenetic sound. Hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, this quintet make a pretty glorious racket that blends elements of pop, punk, ska (I hear it), rock and disco into a smoothie of sound that's perfect for summer backyard BBQ parties. The fury of three five-string acoustic guitars drives the melody into your head while the beats and rhythm force your feet to [...]

Check out the track Mexican Circus (March to the Holly Dome) off their new album " The Way Forward ". (which you can grab here, if you love it. And I think you will...) [...]

If @herohill wrote twitter reviews, instead of wordy, overlong summations of the Canadian music scene, reviewing the new Volcanoless in Canada record would be a lot easier. Something succinct like" Hot Damn! This is fantastic. #Acoustic_Summer_Dance_Party " would give most readers enough insight as to why The Way Forward is going to burn up the charts this summer/fall and help this SK band take get some much deserved shine. But that's not how we roll, and a few glossed over sentiments aren't enough to describe what just might be my favorite record of [...]

Saskatchewan based outfit Volcanoless in Canada strives to combine precise rhythms and intricate melodies with the appeal and high-paced energy of rock music. Their sonic principle lies in the coordinated triple-guitar-assault, where three acoustics play complementary and interweaving melody lines within the rhythmical domain set by drums and bass. This original concept allows Volcanoless' music to flow across a vast musical spectrum, embracing elements of rock, pop, folk, country, punk and dance. Alongside an unbroken streak of Saskatchewan sold-out shows, a sold-out debut album (3500 copies independently sold) and intensely energetic & passionate performances, Volcanoless has [...]

I don't know a single person who hasn't been enjoying the indie music coming out of Canada for the last couple of years. Well... let me rephrase that. People have been enjoying the indie music coming out of Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal [myself included]. A real crime has been committed in overlooking the talent in the more sparsely-populated provinces that make up this great nation. So, [...]
