Vancouver indie-rock/pop ensemble The Zolas are back with another deceptively infectous track from their 2009 debut album "Tic Toc Tic". Produced by Howard Redekopp (notable for prducing albums from Tegan and Sara , The New Pornographers , and Mother Mother ), Tic Toc Tic does well in delivering a three-piece band wrapped in a full-stage sound; The Great Collapse is a fine example that features it's own brass section, as well as an organ contribution that sounds like it could be a string section. The band is currently in the midst of a western Canadian [...]

YSP! WSD! is back with a new album, and a possible US tour!

I'm not even going to try to pretend that I am some sort of casual "Yeah, I like that 'Walking with A Ghost song'" kind of Tegan and Sara fan or an impartial stringer covering the events of yet another album release.

I am, by no means, a rock music aficionado. And by "rock," I mean anything primarily driven by the sound of a guitar. As a friend of mine joked, let's face it: If it doesn't have an electronic hand-clap, I'm sort of at a loss. That isn't to say that I dislike anything that isn't easily characterized by how squeaky the synthesizers sound. Take for instance, Tegan and Sara , a band that has always served as a strong exception in my music catalog. Be it their cutting, urgent lyricism or unbelievably catchy [...]
