Entire Cities - Sneaky Dee's
Psychedelic country, electric folk music in it's truest sense. Eclectic as it is symphonic, a sound that combines the vivid soul of Wilco and Uncle Tupelo, and lush musical excursions of Broken Social Scene. A haze of multi-layered emotions built on many traditional musical aspects. A heartfelt barn-burning flight. The power of the collective is felt.

Uncut - The Silver Dollar
A crashing guitar-driven assault, a relentless lock-and-load style, a rush of rock-adrenaline, a pounding high-octane demonstration of what rock bands should feel and sound like.
Cyanotic - The Reverb
A sensory overload of industrial-synth power, a fusion of KMFDM and Nine Inch Nails, dizzying noise, drum & bass thunder, menacing yet high-energy at the same, leaning towards the dark metal-arsenal as opposed to an impending invasion of futuristic cyborgs. High-voltage machine-driven rock.

The Black Angels - Lee's Palace
Droning psych-rock tripping the light fantastic, cosmic feedback combining The Velvets, Spacemen 3, and 13th Floor Elevators. Pulverizing drumming colliding with a chugging guitar-driven sonic-collage. Mystical phantasms awash in film-generated images, The Black Angels are a shamanic alchemy of ethereal beauty, sizzling kinetic rock, and psychedelic ecstasy. Turn on, tune in, drop out--to the lunar prophets of the everlasting Summer Of Love.

Sadie May Crash - The Kathedral
Potent mix of retro-garage-rock, new-wavish hooks, and catchy well-crafted tunes. Paige is a stellar presence up there. A natural frontwoman. And the music merges pounding rhythms, winding keyboards and and driving guitars. Spastic power that gives a nod to the 60's, 80's, with a rockin' and modern Torontopian twist. Fun times. Great band.

The Re-Mains - The Boat
Heartland rock and roll straight from Australia, a foot-stomping stew of alt-country, bluegrass, and rock, swirly grooves that fearlessly captures that desperado spirit, like a wind whipping across the grassy plains. Entertaining.

The Guest Bedroom - The Gladstone
A breakneck thrill-ride of avant-garde post-punk. Sandi's venomous wails, razor-sharp riffs, and keyboards that weave through this thrash-driven pyrotechnic workout. Boundless attitude, fiery virtuosity, and raw energy. A band that delivers the goods on time. Every time. The revolution starts here.
