I would just like to point out before anything that this is the first anything that has been posted on our brand new site! What does everyone think? Fancy eh? Anywho;
SG Promotions, run by Stephen Grande of Know Where You Stand is known for throwing shows at Ajax’s only venue, The Top Shelf. These shows are generally known for awesome lineups, even better performances and one thing The Top Shelf has become infamous for; Violence.
Ajax as a city is not a very violent place …

Wednesday night, Terrance Pettitt of Falling put on fundraiser show at the McLean’s Center in Ajax. I know the two questions that come to mind, and don’t fret because they shall be answered. One, when the fuck did the McLean’s Center let people play shows? They don’t, because they’re assholes. The only reason they allowed Terrance to book this was because it was a fundraiser show. A fundraiser for what, is the second question? A long time ago, …

Introducing As You Like Me from Vaughan, Ontario! If you have checked out one or two of our show review, you might have also caught our reviews of As You Like Me, as they have been a very busy band in the scene as of late. These guys and girl have only been around in the local scene for alittle while now and they have already accomplished quite a bit! Opened a show for Misery Signals, released an EP, toured across Ontario and have …

It feels like I haven’t written a review in an eternity and what better way to end this unexpected hiatus then with a review for such a crazy show like this? Saturday afternoon, Andy & I had the pleasure of attending Misery Signals W/ Structures, Beheading of a King, Centuries Apart, As You Like Me, and last but not least On Burning Shores. I send my regards to Cameron Beck of Unreal Promotions for putting on yet another …

I got an opportunity to check out a show that wasn’t filled to the brim with Metal/Hardcore bands on Thursday May 13th, 2010. I jumped on that opportunity like the boat leaving Canada once the zombies come for our brains after their run through the US. There were some familiar faces this time, and even some familiar bands, but needless to say, i’ve been going to The Groove Lounge so much lately that it really IS starting to feel like a second home.
The …

I actually came across these guys today! I have heard of them in the past, and even seen their Myspace plastered across the interwebs. Today I gave Like Animals a try, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with sounds I heard!
Like Animals is a 3 piece band from Orillia, Ontario consisting of Will on Drums, Jamie on Guitar and Vocals and Jesse on Bass and Vocals. These guys draw influences from some very innovative and trail blazing bands and musicians …

I was fortunate enough to attend one of the most nostalgic shows we will probably see in the Durham region in a very long time; Kathleen Turner Overdrives last show! This is a band that had a legendary impact on the old Dungeon scene back in the pre-2008 days.
The entire bill was pretty much an amalgamation of old and new not to mention; Of Soldiers and Saints, probably the perfect taste of what the post-Dungeon scene has to offer. Aurora’s very own Shortline Hero, …

When it comes to Death Metal, it is something people can either love or hate. As for myself, I am in the giant demographic of indifference. I haven’t really heard enough Death Metal to condemn it completely, but from what I have heard throughout the years, I would definitely lean towards the hate side. The stereotypes that go into this form of music are full of misogyny and grotesque imagery or in alot of cases, tongue in cheek humor. Which kind of brings …

We are ALITTLE late with this week’s band recommendation, but I have been searching the internet for the past week trying to find a band I thought was awesome enough to showcase on the site; The Great Sabatini is this weeks awesome band.
They are a Metal [to say the least] band from Montreal consisting of Sean Sabatini , Steve Sabatini, Rob Sabatini and Joe Sabatini….I think i’m noticing a trend here.
To further elaborate on the genre these guys fall into, they are a …
