A World To Forget their new album, and a show that I will not forget!

 A World To Forget by Braindown, and my thoughts about their live performance




A World to Forget couldn’t have been a better title for their debut album. Seeing them live, it’s a gripping urge to split your head against any formal object or person near you. Your whole life seems suddenly meaningless as you watch clown, bones and ares stomp every last cell of reason left in you. The crowd is ecstatic, Shag’s vocal roar across the stage and into your ears they penetrate to reach your beat-less heart as the show claims every punk in the room. As the show reached its climax, I couldn’t remember who I was, all I had inside was an envy to spew my guts. The thrill, the sweat and madness had broken my recollection of a formal bleak existence. As I opened my eyes one last time to watch these four guy’s mercilessly claim every soul, I remembered that this was just a show, that I wasn’t in hell yet, that the door by which I’d come in wasn’t the gate of hell. Oh shoot I thought, how could I have forgotten, I came to see Braindown at the Traxide. One thing is sure, the next day when I talked about my hellish experience to my mom, she said, “ oh jeez you must have hit your head or something, I’ve never heard of such a band that could bring you down in hell.” And to this I say, If you haven’t heard of these four guys behind Braindown, I beg you to listen to A World To Forget available on any streaming platform, and go see them live and you will understand why any man of reason would prefer setting aside his world to plunge head first into this insane world of theirs. Luckily for you their next show announced is at the Traxide on the 3rd of February. Hope to see you in Hell!

False Hopes, Birds of Prrrey, can it get any better ?

A new single for Birds Of Prrrey, titled False Hopes. The Band from left to right, Grace, Clarence and Noelle. False Hope, their new Single. Birds of Prrrey, a local trio from Montreal have released a single in July on the major streaming platforms and to sum it up, False Hope is a close reminder of Courtney Love, simply with a touch of gentleness and somehow less budget. But let’s not lie, of course three girls starting a band, won’t come up with a record as refined as what Hole and Courtney would release knowing they had millions in budget to spend and producers and studio engineers that had their names echoing through whole decades. Yet the key lies in the similarity they have, the fact that their style and energy resembles Hole and they're quite a bold trio to say the least. They have a couple live out there on the internet elaborating on their prowess with Grace on the bass slinging over with a bow, Noelle singing while sitting behind the drums and of course Clarence simply b...

May 25 at Barlfy, The Snatchers, Gitni and Sigil Grove

 I'd dragged my feets up to Lachine district under the red hot sun listening to high class proper muppet jazz and gizzmo sucked out of mans to be, all billed under a festival call La Dame Festive. Friends and I filled our ears and tummies along the canal with delicacies overpriced and spent the end of the afternoon playing haki-sac. By the time six o'clock came by, I was in a metro falling asleep as the lights and sounds sped around me in all directions, the destination was a show at Barfly publicized by vicious kids who've got nothing more to do than grind their feets and teeths on cheap knicks and good music. The bands featured on this bill were the Snatchers, Gitni and the one and only Sigil Grove. Upon arrival after fighting through endless dreams during my metro rides, I skated to the venue and felt a surge of energy as wind and the citie's vices fluded my tired neurons. Upon arrival, I met freaks from  Evergreen ,  Bad Objection ,  Steeple , crossed with The Sn...

Mindfuzz more like Mind games

  Mindfuzz , a project that started out from a melting pots of projects seeing the daylight around October 2022, was a band heavily influenced by the 80's and 90's heavier rock and grunge, alternative tendencies! Listening to their songs Butane, Request and Phlegm, there was a will to bring back groovy laced rock spirited music on the scene. Shows were deemed quite the action packed sets and always a thrill to be part of. While their story might have been troublesome, their music was great, their contribution to the local music scene was by no means gibberish. By the end of the group's lifespan, rumours had it tensions had infested the nest, a leader more like a knicker who'd knick all the control and other stories haunted the bands attic, things escalated quickly leading to accusations and public statements surrounding them, the police had it's nose snuffed in, and soon they were no more. The greatest bands either adapt and become mainstream, or die fast after pavi...
