TONIGHT: A free Blink-182 cover show at Turbo Haüs coincides with the band’s overpriced Montreal concert
“Blink-182 is a bad live band. We can get together three good bands playing all the dumb songs. It’ll be fun and free instead of (costing) two months’ rent.”

Tonight’s Lizzo concert in Montreal was cancelled at the last minute due to illness

ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT, Darling the Dawn: REVIEW
“The debut LP from the drone wave/shoegaze project by Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s Efrim Manuel Menuck and la Force’s Ariel Engle.”
Bluebird, Myrtle Avenue: REVIEW
“I don’t know when it became so unbearable to just continue existing as a 20- or 30-something, but this experiment in alt-country, Canadiana and hints of psychedelic shoegaze is a damn near perfect take on the experience.”
Yves Tumor, Praise a Lord Who Chews but Which Does Not Consume (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds): REVIEW
“This album is a marvel. The sheer imagination in the second half of ‘Heaven Surrounds Us Like a Hood’ — it’s just like falling in love with music again and again.”
Kanen, Mitshuap: REVIEW
“On her debut album, the Innu singer-songwriter creates a moody atmosphere of melodic, folky indie rock that can be brooding, soothing, fierce, spellbinding or unsettling.”
