I heard this song in the morning and it was more effective than caffeine in the hard task of getting me energised for an early start. Enjoy the new video for 'What's your Name?' by Halifax band COUSINS ! COUSINS : "WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" from Aaron Mangle on Vimeo .
by Tiana Feng Here's Cousins with a new tune called "What's Your Name" from forthcoming LP The Halls Of Wickwire to be released in fall.
You might not have known it by reading this past week's postings here, but it's been Canadian Music Week in Toronto, so this week's round up will focus on some local bands at CMW. St. Catharines' Waterbodies released their debut full length, The Evil We Know earlier this year, and though I've been derelict in covering it, the record has gotten them recognition on Canadian college radio. The band are playing their second of two CMW shows tonight at Global Village Backpackers. The trio recently released a video for "How To [...]
Out of Niagara Falls comes delightfully shambolic indie rock quartet Cousin . It only takes a couple of bars of "Mountain Slip" to realize these guys sound more like Pavement than Pavement does. The band have a self-titled record out, which you can buy here . Have a listen here: Mountain Slip by Cousin CMF performance : Mar 19, 9:00pm, Annex Live

So I decided to stay in Ottawa and attend this rocked out show. Playing at Pressed was: • Cousins • Grime Kings I finally got a chance to see Grime Kings. Fronted [...]
Toronto concerts worth knowing about in February, 2013. I know these things about February: 1) it's the month of purification (that's why Purity Ring are coming through town), 2) SAD reaches its peak, 3) Valentine's Day is a Hallmark holiday and thus a complete waste of time, and 4) "leaplings" are the luckiest people around as they age far more slowly than the rest of us. Man, who wouldn't want to be a leapling? Doesn't it just sound so cool? Anyway, here's what else I know. [...]

I've previously expressed my undying love for New Order's 1989 LP Technique . So there's no way I can say anything different than this single from the same era is an absolute belter:- mp3 : The Beloved - Your Love Takes Me Higher (Deep Joy) mp3 : The Beloved - Your Love Takes Me Higher (7" mix) mp3 : The Beloved - Your Love Takes Me Higher (Simply Divine) mp3 : The Beloved - Your Love Takes Me [...]
Watch Meek is Murder's awesome new Back to the Future -themed video.
Though we didn't get to catch him at CMJ, it seems one of this year's winners was Calvin Love , who received a resounding review from Vice for his performance at Aquarium Drunkard 's showcase. We've since become fans of the Canadian-born artist, whose debut album, New Radar , comes out today on the aforementioned blog's label, Autumn Tone . To celebrate, Calvin has made a playlist for us featuring eight of his favorite tracks of late. Check it out after the jump. STREAM: Calvin Love [...]

Yes indeed the 20th Anniversary Edition of the Halifax Pop Explosion is but a mere week away from starting, and as you can plainly see via the use of an exclamation mark in the title of this post, this is exciting news. If you're in Halifax and reading this, I have to assume you're already planning on attending some or all of the HPX festivities, but what of the folks coming from away? People do come from away for HPX, right (I'd ask for someone to tell us if they're coming to their first HPX [...]
Unlike Jesse Hughey and Darryl Smyers, I do not have children yet. I come from a large family. My father is eldest of five, so it's understandable why I, a 33-year-old, have cousins who are teena... Continue reading "Making My 16-Year-Old Cousin Listen To Therapy? and Hootie & the Blowfish" >

So if you really want me to see your set, you must give me really good reason! Grime's show at Club Soda is [...]
