Walking into the The Warehouse Project for the first time, I was greeted by the ambient sounds of Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith who was in the middle of a beautiful live performance. Room 1 was overcome […]
Review – Cave Rave at Church
Behind the ridiculously cheesy music, horrendous venue layout and remnants of VS bottles surrounding the dancefloor, Halo always had the potential of becoming a serious clubbing venue. Two years after its closure, following extensive renovations, […]
Billy Talent @ O2 Academy, 20/10/16
Post-hardcore music has a very specific vibe. It’s aggressive, filled with unbridled power and aggression, and is unapologetic to the core. To put it simply: Post hardcore, as a genre, is decidedly un-Canadian. And yet, […]

“How old are you? If you don’t mind me asking, because you look really young,” the not-so-charming bouncer said, as I, perplexed and mildly insulted, handed over my ID. Only when I looked inside the […]
Warhaus @ Brudenell, 10/10/16
Warhaus, the name given to Balthazer’s Maarten Devoldere, is one of the year’s most exciting solo projects; rich, operatic vocals paired with fast-paced riffs and reflective lyrics make for an electrifying sound that soars through […]
