In 2006, a beardless and much younger Dallas Green released the video to "Save Your Scissors." The video and song helped catapult the already famous Alexisonfire co-vocalist even further into stardom. In hindsight, it was likely always the case that City and Colour would take precedence over Alexisonfire, but the level of success of the former project is what's truly surprising. This weekend, City and Colour played not one but two back-to-back shows at Massey Hall. The Low Anthem The night started with a captivating opening performance [...]
This year's Juno Awards take place in Ottawa on 4/1, and today the nominees for their annual prizes were revealed. A lot of familiar names - Drake, Feist, Avril Lavigne - headline the nominees. Something tells me the Black Keys won't be happy with a selection or two. Two Christmas albums made the "Best Album" list, so either it was a bad year for Canadian albums or the best year for Christmas albums ever! Shatner hosts, obviously. Scan the nominees below.

El 2012 recién comienza y las buenas noticias también. Una de ellas es la octava edición de el pequeño gran festival, Indie-O Fest . Festival que desde el 2005 reúne a lo mejor de la música independiente, y queda muy claro que este año no es la excepción. Dicen los organizadores: "En esta ocasión, se trata de una curaduría más ecléctica y mutifacética, llena de coloridos musicales provenientes de emocionantes rincones de la escena independiente". Destaca la participación de 2 ex integrantes de Sonic Youth , [...]

Una vez más, y como lleva siendo habitual desde hace 8 años consecutivos, vuelve ** Indie-O Fest , un festival de música que nació en 2005 y que poco a poco ha ido ganando popularidad y por supuesto buenos artistas. Las anteriores ediciones destacaron por la inclusión de bandas como Los Campesinos, o Hello Seahorse!, que deleitaron a los asistentes en 2009, o Little Dragon y The Big Pink, que lo hicieron en 2010. Y esta nueva edición 2012 no se queda atrás, con interesantes grupos que acaban de ser anunciados. Los platos fuertes son sin duda Thurston [...]
Tweet vaso link Andy first wrote about City and Colour back in late spring of last year. Unrelated, I'm switching to DIRECTV shortly, so I have been clearing out old unwatched nonsense from my DVR. I turned on an old episode of MTV's Subterranean, and the first video caught my ears because I wasn't actually watching. I'm sure you can put things together, hence this post.

Great movie, even better scene... if you haven't seen Spinal Tap then put that one at the top of your New Years Resolution's list. But as far as music goes I'd like to take a bit of time and let you guys know exactly what bands I feel "went to eleven" this year. These are [...]
With the horizon of a new year seemingly inches away, we're proud to present our best songs of 2011. We have been slaving over albums and hidden tracks for the past month, but now the beginning of our five-part list of the best of the best. 50. The Airborne Toxic Event - Half of Something Else Very similar to 20082s "Sometime Around Midnight", TATE is back with a similar formula and not a bad album either. I guess if you've got the chemistry down, why change it? 49. Radiohead [...]

The group signed with Dangerbird this year and we only see bright things in their future. [...]

Dallas Green aka City and Colour came through Terminal 5 in New York on his latest tour. This was the first City and Colour tour since the Alexisonfire breakup announcement, and also probably the biggest City and Colour US tour yet. Last time I spoke to Dallas Green was on Warped Tour 2009 when Alexisonfire was still going strong and they were touring in support of what would become their last record, Old Crows/Young Cardinals. Since then, City and Colour has blown up in America and they've played a variety of big shows including the big FYF Fest MWTX show [...]
I have been so blessed this past year in all aspects of my life. I graduated this past June from the University of Toronto with an Honours B.A. I interned at one of Toronto's most prestigious indie labels, Dine Alone Records. I had the opportunity to attend and provide media coverage for CMF 2011 and NXNE 2011. I created a Casting Call video for Much Music which I am so very proud of. It's been a great year - its truly been eye-opening and has resulted in a lot of personal development. I am so thankful to be surrounded by [...]

City and Colour (@cityandcolour) packed Terminal 5 last Wednesday night with hundreds of die hard fans that knew every word to every song. Dallas Green may be backed by a full band with a country vibe now, but he knew better than to have them play every song. The best parts of the night were when the band left, leaving room for the audience to have a voice. Before he played "Body In A Box" he made everyone put down their phones, asking them not to record video for at least one song. He explained that [...]
