B.A. Johnston, Canada's favourite sweat-soaked and/or shirtless bon-vivant, has a new album called Hi Dudes! coming out February 21st. The lead single is entitled Truffle Shuffle and features Laura Barrett on the guest vocals. You can call me Chris Traeger, because that is literally all you need to know about this enterprise. Get on it. MP3:: B.A. Johnston - Truffle Shuffle f. Laura Barrett WEB:: www.bajohnston.ca

Into The Dark , Kirby's second official release, wrestles the ideas of hostile despair, anguish of being unable to change, the worthlessness of envy and the desire to be wanted so unconditionally. It's a glimpse into the psyche of a man whose spent the last two years touring Canada, crossing the country numerous times. The EP works towards summarizing the vast enormity of his experiences into seven calculated, succinct booms of folk-pop passion and interwoven with hook filled melody.

Haven't posted enough drum & bass for a while so here's a big post! Intraspekt - That Flow Hyper - My World (Hamilton Remix) Rollz - All It Took (Clip) Lenzman - Diamonds Incident - Hindoo Intraspekt | Hamilton | Rollz | Lenzman | Incident

GPSMYTH There is the day-to-day, on-the-surface-of-it, mode of familiar colloquialisms ("there is more than one way to skin a cat") and template interactions ("having said that","take things forward" ), that appears to operate within a set system of rules, and needs no further description. Then there is the mirror to that mode: the vernacular-heavy, semi-intelligible, behind-closed-doors, underhanded, round table mode of secret understandings. This mode is presented less frequently, but its blurry projection is omnipresent in the movement of eyeballs and the tail-end of sentences. It may manifest itself in [...]

Иногда в редакцию приходят замечательные письма, в которых группа сама рассказывает обо всём в знакомых образах. Сразу видно, что New Hands – близкие друзья, собравшиеся делать «новую рок-музыку» и у них есть гитары, крепкие мелодии и свежие головы. Зацените! Привет, Big Echo, Мы – New Hands. Наш первый сингл «This I've Heard» можно скачать бесплатно. Мы ненавидим друг друга. Мы проводим почти всё свободное время вместе, разговаривая только ругательствами. Мы ненавидим друг друга, но внутри каждого ругательства содержится [...]

While sending us the link for the free e.p. Hate to Love the City, Greg Preston told us: I wanted the music we produce to have a commonality with older classic garage and 4-piece bands, raw and indebted to the reckless nature of our live performances. We recorded live off the floor. No click track or multiple takes, but filtered through a mountain of analogue courtesy of producer Michael Keire (Wildlife, Dark Mean, Apostle of Hustle). We say that the Hamilton, Canada, based band will have your mind blown in no time. [...]
![The Rest – Always On My Mind [Listen/Download]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3774635_lg.jpg)
It's been a long time coming trying to talk about Hamilton's The Rest . Late last year one of the members sent me an e-mail to check out their music. I was really blown away with their indie pop rock orchestral dream-like sound. Didn't get a chance to make a review due to being very busy and getting sidetrack with other stuff. The band consist of six members and they are prepping up in releasing their full length album called Seesaw which will drop sometime in 2012. I [...]

While the Toronto International Film Festival occupied most of my time during the period of September 8 to the 18, I'd consciously took Septemeber 10 off in order to check out a arts and music festival called Supercrawl in Hamilton, ON. I'd heard of the festival for a few years now and had hopes of going but it didn't happen, but when I'd seen the musical lineup this year which included amongst others, Broken Social Scene, J Mascis, Plants and Animals and Basia Bulat performing with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra , I made up my mind quick [...]

Life & Debt Back in June our friend Matthew Scheurich was shot with a bow and arrow while living in the Papua New Guinean jungle. The attack made international news headlines . He's now back living in Auckland, New Zealand, recovering from his traumatic experience. In an email today he said, "chest pains flare up from time to time", but that his "lung capacity feels much better now." Since his near-death experience Matt has been working on a new musical project, to help [...]

Botnek's Back 2 School Mix With less than two weeks before the school year hits, Canadian duo Botnek dropped a mixtape to cushion your late summer woes. Erase that frown with a slew of jaunting glitchy house sounds that have yet to be ID'd and look at the bright side. Frosh week is just around the corner and the Faceless fam are embarking on a tour that could be smashing your local watering hole. Botnek , Meati , Meech , and Wenzell are all [...]

One of my favourite names in the Ram Records crew has to be Hamilton . Latest release Brainstorm/Echoes is just fantastic and well worth a listen. I'm in love with the B-Side track 'Echoes'. You can buy it here . Hamilton - Echoes
Damian Bennett: Hi Mr Hamilton. Your sound is f*cking killer. DB: You've got this monolithic sound and love the choppage... as a producer, what's the most important thing for you: do... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Junior Boys, "Itchy Fingers" (2011) find it on It's All True The sleek grooves of the Junior Boys goes along with bands like The Sea and Cake in the category of Comfortable. But that's not the bad kind of comfortable, where you're just saying it's comfortable because you're trying to make the best of the boring. I assure you, Junior Boys 1 & 2 if you happen to read this, that it's more comfortable like being in the most luxurious lounge in the world surrounded [...]
Hamilton - Drum & Bass Arena Mix by hamiltondnb

Let's boot this Monday out the door with some raucous assistance from Hamilton fuzz enthusiasts The Dirty Nil and their f-bomb anthem Fuckin' Up Young which is on their new 73. MP3:: The Dirty Nil - Fuckin' Up Young WEB:: thedirtynil.bandcamp.com

The Junior Boys released their fourth LP two days ago, called It's All True. Their last album, Begone Dull Care (conceptually based on the animations of visual artist Norman McLaren ), wasn't as highly regarded as their breakthrough record, 20062s So This Is Goodbye. And rightfully so, Begone Dull Care didn't seem to have the same songwriting strength when compared to its predecessor; back in 2009 the Junior Boys were being compared to their past work in most reviews. Unfortunately, in 2011 it seems they may fall [...]

Dallas Green will be releasing his 3rd solo album as a singer-songwriter under the moniker CITY AND COLOUR on Vagrant Records. The album titled Little Hell is scheduled for release on June 7th, 2011 and is the highly-anticipated follow-up to the 2008's Bring Me Your Love, which was certified platinum in Green's native Canada. Alternately sparse and inviting, intense and delicate, Little Hell shows music fans another side of Green's incredible songwriting skills, and features some of his finest songs to date.

Mad Christian Harold Camping was reportedly "flabbergasted" that the Rapture didn't take place last Saturday, May 21, as he had confidently predicted. I am similarly flabbergasted that Kilmarnock weren't relegated, as I assuredly stated on August 12: "I can't see them anywhere other than last place." Camping is now saying the Rapture was spiritual, not [...]
