Superchunk covers The Misfits for Halloween (MP3)

In the spirit of Halloween, indie rock icons Superchunk are offering up a free download.  This year the band decided to tackle a classic from those cartoonish punk ghouls The Misfits.

Grab your download of "Where Eagles Dare" now.

It's a pretty good cover.  It may even rival Bratmobile's version.

The Schomberg Fair set to release "Mercy" EP

Toronto-based dark roots rock trio The Schomberg Fair are getting set to release a new album.  On November 8th though, they will tide fans over with the release of the 5-song Mercy EP.

Check the band out in studio:


Here's the track list for the EP:

• Oh Mercy
• Black Train
• Orphan Bones
• Mark of Cain
• I'd Raise My Hand

The Schomberg Fair play a CD Release show at Sneaky Dee's in Toronto on November 10th.

Shawn Brady holds CD Release show Nov. 12

You'd be hard-pressed to find a musical story as interesting as that of Sudbury-native Shawn Brady.  A hospital director by day, Brady, who moonlights as a U2 tribute singer, is set to add another odd chapter with the forthcoming release of his first album of original material.

Brady will mark the release of Electric Blood with a CD Release show at Tattoo Rock Parlour in Toronto on November 12th.  Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door and include a copy of the record.

Paul Nash
For those who like: Trace Adkins

I don't cover a lot of straight up country on this blog, but I'll make an exception for Paul Nash.  The North Vancouver DIY musician has put together enough credibility to get members of the Cash family to pitch in on his album, even getting John Carter Cash to produce it.

CONTEST: Gradyon James and more @ The Garrison

If there's something I love it's value for money (and sauerkraut, love that sauerkraut).  So I highly recommend heading out to The Garrison on November 15th, and not for the sauerkraut, as Don't Touch That Dial puts on a great great folk/indie rock showcase.

Performing that night will be:

• The Elwins 
• Graydon James & The Young Novelists
• Darren Eedens
• The Maladies of Adam Stokes

She & Him: "A Very She & Him Christmas" (album review)

When I first heard that She & Him were releasing a Christmas album I thought it was a brilliant concept.  Zooey Deschanel's innocent, playful vocals are usually full of a childlike optimism, perfectly suited for a fun yuletide experience.

That's probably why I was so disappointed upon listening to A Very She & Him Christmas.  Instead of the warm, celebratory songs I anticipated,  we are too often presented with a somber holiday album.  Deschanel's performances on songs like "The Christmas Waltz" and "Blue Christmas" are uncharacteristically bland and soulless.  At times it seems as though she's merely going through the motions to knock out a quick record.

Deschanel finally does let herself have some fun with the rollicking "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree".

Surprisingly, it's the song that M. Ward takes a larger vocal role in that get you most into the spirit of the season.  Duets on the bouncy "Sleigh Ride" and "Christmas Wish", and the back-and-forth "Baby, It's Cold Outside" have the most emotional depth of the collection.

The arrangements seem odd at first, but it doesn't take long for you to realize that a ukulele is what "Silver Bells" has always been missing, or that "I'll Be Home For Christmas" was meant to be a jazz number.

I guess A Very She & Him Christmas just goes to show you that a great concept only takes you so far.  The execution still needs to be there.  Wow, that makes me feel like a Grinch.

Best tracks: "Baby, It's Cold Outside", "Sleigh Ride"

Track listing for A Very She & Him Christmas:

• The Christmas Waltz
• Christmas Day
• Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
• I'll Be Home For Christmas
• Christmas Wish
• Sleigh Ride
• Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
• Silver Bells
• Baby, It's Cold Outside
• Blue Christmas
• Little Saint Nick
• The Christmas Song

The Black Keys: "Lonely Boys" (video)

With their new album El Camino set to be unleashed on December 6th, The Black Keys have released the first video from the album.

Check out the clip for "Lonely Boys" here:


Thanks to the dance, the video is awesome.  No wonder he's a lonely boy.  The song itself though sounds a little too much like recent Black Rebel Motorcycle Club to me.

Florence + The Machine: "Ceremonials" (album review)

Lungs, the debut album from Florence + The Machine truly took the indie world by storm, eventually gaining a much wider following in the mainstream.  Undaunted by that success, Ms. Welsh and company return with their follow-up album, Ceremonials, on November 1st.

Florence hasn't missed a beat.  She shows off her big lungs throughout the album with her trademark bold, rich vocals.  The soulfulness comes shining through on the enthusiastic, almost spiritual "Lover To Lover".  She demonstrates a previously unseen softer side with the grand and hopeful "All This & Heaven Too".

The lead single, "Shake It Out" lulls you into a false sense of calm, starting life as a sleepy little number.  That is until Florence reaches out and shakes you awake with her chorus vocal.

It's tempting to focus completely on Florence.  While there is absolutely no denying that she is a charismatic and powerful frontwoman, this likes of which we haven't seen in a long time, The Machine deserve a lot more credit than they get.

It's the smoldering arrangements that the band construct that often make the difference with these songs.  They have a gift for creating bold sounds and compelling rhythms that still allow room for the listener to crawl inside the song and take part in it.  Many bands can build an impressive wall of sound, it takes extra care to make the listener feel as though they are being let inside and protected by that wall.

The band create a haunting occult atmosphere for "Seven Devils", making it seem like a perfect theme song should anyone choose to remake the film The Craft.  "Never Let Me Go" has a groove so subversive that you won't even realize that your toe is tapping until 3/4 of the way through the track.

The arrangements and vocals mesh perfectly on the album closer "Leave My Body".  The track whisks you away into another world, with one of Florence's most soulful vocals to date and an aural kaleidescope of music.

The pop sensibility that reared its head from time to time on Lungs is mostly absent on the new record.  There's an attempt with "Breaking Down".  That song, unfortunately, comes with a slightly '80s vibe that makes one think of a similarly titled Tears For Fears hit.

Ceremonials may not be a quantum leap from Lungs, but as a sophomore album it serves it's purpose well; it  reinforces the standing of Florence + The Machine and proves that their success is not a fluke.

Best tracks: "Leave My Body", "Lover To Lover"

Track listing for Ceremonials:

• Only If for a Night
• Shake It Out
• What the Water Gave Me
• Never Let Me Go
• Breaking Down
• Lover To Lover
• No Light, No Light
• Seven Devils
• Heartlines
• Spectrum
• All This & Heaven Too
• Leave My Body

After playing a handful of shows together, the classic line-up of Guided By Voices have reunited and will release a brand new studio album, Let's Go Eat the Factory, on January 1st.  Let's all hope that's what Robert Pollard has been saving his good songs for.

Before that happens you'll be able to get the new single, "The Unsinkable Fats Domino/We Won't Apologize For the Human Race" through Matador Records starting November 22nd.

Grab "The Unsinkable Fats Domino" now.

I'll bring you more details about the album and any tour dates as they become available.

Liam Gallagher talks Oasis reunion (video)

We've read a lot about the potential for an Oasis reunion in the future (jealous of the Stone Roses I guess), but now we can hear it from one of the principals himself.

Liam Gallagher, appearing with Nicole Appleton for an interview on the CBC with George Stroumboulopoulos, is pretty candid about the potential.

The entire interview airs tonight at 11:05pm on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight, but you can watch a clip of the interview here:


In other Oasis tidbits, Noel Gallagher releases the first album from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds on November 8th and performs at Massey Hall in Toronto on November 7th & 8th.

Alan Wilkis: "Come And Go (f. The KickDrums)"

By now you know I'm not a big electronic music guy, but I am willing to make exceptions.  One I make routinely is for NYC indie dance/electronic/disco musician Alan Wilkis.

Wilkis is back with a brand new record, Prints.  For this project he worked with a number of different vocalists including Lyrics Born and White Hinterland.

Check out the first single "Come and Go", which features The KickDrums:

Hurricane Bells: "Tides and Tales" (album review)

Tides and Tales is the second full length album from NY's Hurricane Bells, and was made possible in part by fans through a PledgeMusic campaign.

The album opener "I've Got a Second Chance" foreshadows what you can expect from the rest of the album.  It begins with an engine-revving intro which collapses into a stripped down introspective song, thus showcasing both sides of Hurricane Bells.

While Hurricane Bells don't sound exactly like any other band I've come across, there are some comparisons that can be drawn.  "Possibilities" blends the laid-back lo-fi of Yo La Tengo with the other-worldliness of Mercury Rev.  The lead single "The Ghost of Her" falls somewhere between the version of indie pop offered by The La's and that of the venerable Teenage Fanclub.

The biggest skill the band have is there ability to make so much with so little.  The song seem complex and layered, but when you delve deeper into them you realize it is really an efficient use of few elements that are deftly employed to construct a textured sound.

It's when they offer songs like these that the band are at their best.  Tracks like "Blue Blue Moon" and "Before I'm Gone" are vast, beautiful numbers.

The band manage to pull off the near-impossible with "Piano Stunt", they actually make you wish that an instrumental would go on longer.  The track is engaging and weaves a vivid narrative tapestry, despite the lack of vocals.  What is even more remarkable is that they manage to repeat the feat with the surf-tinged "The Hunger Moon".

The most impressive thing about Tides and Tales is that as good as the album is when you first put it on, it simply gets better and better each time around.

Best tracks: "The Ghost of Her", "Piano Stunt"

Track listing for Tides and Tales:

• I'v Got a Second Chance
• Possibilities
• The Ghost of Her
• Blue Blue Moon
• Hours Like Days
• Piano Stunt
• Let's Go
• House On Fire
• Before I'm Gone
• If This Night Is Over

Fever prove electronic music doesn't have to be heartless

Fevers are an Ottawa quintet who are making some infectious and trippy electronic pop music.  They've recently released a new EP, Passion Is Dead.

My favorite track is "My Heart Is In a Basket On the Front of Your Bicycle", partly for the title and partly because it proves that electronic music can still be fun.

InAshton: "It's Ok...It's OK" (video)

"Come As You Are: a 20th Anniversary Tribute to Nirvana's Nevermind" (album review)

We've had a couple of Nirvana tributes in this, the 20th year since the release of their paradigm-shifting Nevermind.  The latest is this compilation from Reimagine Music, which comes out on October 25th.

Like many tribute albums, the artists who are the most successful with their versions are those who take the original song and add their own interpretation.  That's no different with this album.

Spacey and slowed down seems to be the approach of choice.  The Autumn Leaf's "On A Plain", The Dutch Masters' "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Will Dailey's stripped down "Territorial Pissings" all do that effectively.  Margot & the Nuclear So-and-Sos manange to take "Something In The Way", a song I never cared for, and fleshed out the arrangement, improving it vastly.

Great indie/country/southern rock outfit Murder By Death turn "Lounge Act" into an even darker number, this time with a hint of Middle Eastern flair.  The album's standout comes from mewithoutyou, who combine Kermit The Frog-esque vocals with a nearly acoustic arrangement for an incredible version of "In Bloom".

Trying to slow things down doesn't really work for Civil Twilight.  The overwhelming feeling the listener takes away from their version of "Come As You Are" is boredom.

There are some artists who decided to stick more closely to Nirvana's script, with middling-to-mediocre results.  Pitty's rendition of "Stay Away" does a decent job with the arrangement, but the vocals are sorely lacking in umph.  Atrocious Canadian band Finger Eleven provide a listless straight-forward walk through "Polly".  Hawthorne Heights' cover of "Lithium", my personal favorite from Nevermind, can only be described as passable.

One of the few bands to strike a balance between these approaches is Maps & Atlases.  For their version of "Drain You", they apply a more D.I.Y. production to the song, coming up with something fresh without having to sacrifice the power of the original.


The inclusion of Anthony Raneri's "About A Girl" is a little odd, since it wasn't actually on Nevermind.

Tribute albums are a hit and miss proposition at the best of times.  Come As You Are is no exception.  However, in this case I'm happy to report that there are more hits than misses.

Best tracks: "In Bloom", "Territorial Pissings"

Track listing for Come As You Are:

• Smells Like Teen Spirit- The Dutch Masters
• In Bloom- mewithoutyou
• Come As You Are- Civil Twilight
• Breed- Story Of The Year
• Lithium- Hawthorne Heights
• Polly- Finger Eleven
• Territorial Pissings- Will Dailey
• Drain You- Maps & Atlases
• Lounge Act- Murder By Death
• Stay Away- Pitty

The Lonesome Weekends: "Songs for Lonesome Weekends" (mini-review)

Regina's The Lonesome Weekends are a side project from members of The Lazy MKs and one of my indie pop faves, Rah Rah.  Earlier this year they came together to release Songs for Lonesome Weekends.

The band pretty much touch on every country music staple, making use of banjos, harmonicas, and Blue Rodeo-style keyboards in the arrangements. That continues with the album's themes, which include references to horses, trains, fences, herds of cattle, lovers leaving, and oh yeah, drinkin' n' cryin'.

You can hear that the band were having a great deal of fun as they put this record together, and that makes it an enjoyable listen, even if not every track is a winner.

Verdict: Borrow It

Toronto concerts announced this week: The Sheepdogs, Jim Cuddy Band

It was a very slow week for concert announcements.  Here's a look at what we did hear about though:

Maria Taylor: "Overlook" (album review)

Overlook is the fourth solo album from Azure Ray's Maria Taylor.  Checking in at only 9-tracks, it's a short but sweet effort this time around.

Many of the songs, such as "Masterplan" or ""Like It Does", can be described as typically indie pop rock.  "This Could Take a Lifetime" comes perilously close to being a cheesy indie love song.

Strewn among them though, are a number of stronger entries.  "Matador" has an extremely catchy, if short, guitar riff backed by a basic but effective percussion.  "Bad Idea?" is a playful stroll.  "Idle Mind" is introspective, while "In a Bad Way" shows off Taylor's sultry side.

The strongest aspect of Taylor's music however is her vocals.  Her voice is rich and often enchanting, which can elevate otherwise run-of-the-mill songs to a whole other level.

Vedict: Borrow It

Maria Taylor plays The Drake in Toronto on November 13th.

Playlist Of The Week: Lemonheads

Evan Dando's Lemonheads played a show in Toronto this week, running through their classic album It's A Shame About Ray.  To mark that, and to bask in the nostalgia of my own teenage years a bit, I thought it would be a good idea to put together a playlist of some of my favorite Lemonheads tunes.

Listen to it here.

Jane's Addiction: "The Great Escape Artist" (album review)

When approaching The Great Escape Artist, the new album from Jane's Addiction, it's important to realize that this is not the same band that brought you Nothing's Shocking.  Twenty five years on a lot has changed, and being idle for much of that time, it seems unfair to judge the band against their previous heights.

One of the biggest changes is TV On The Radio's David Sitek picking up the bass for the band.  Unlike Eric Avery, no one can accuse Sitek of being funky.  Furthermore, Sitek had a big influence in the production of the record, meaning there are a lot more programmed effects and synth sounds this time around.

The band seems to use the effects as a crutch at times though.  Songs like "End to the Lies" and "I'll Hit You Back" are the sounds of a band slapping things together to flesh out an album.  Even worse is "Ultimate Reason", a dull modern rock song that would've fit well alongside late-90s, early-2000s efforts from lesser lights like of Incubus and Linkin Park.

The album does have some highlight moments to recommend it though.  The opener "Underground" is big and booming, easily filling a room with delightful fuzz.  "Twisted Tales" has a smooth flowing refrain that sucks you in.

The lead single "Irresistible Force" quite nearly lives up to it's name.  The song is broad, sweeping, and insidiously catchy, making for a totally gripping combination.

There is a deluxe version of the album available on iTunes.  It contains an 11-song live set recorded in Mexico.  Other than a playful rendition of "Been Caught Stealing", it's a mostly forgettable and murky set that certainly isn't worth the extra few dollars.

On it's own merits, The Great Escape Artist is not a terrible album.  It's just not great either.

Best tracks: "Irresistible Force", "

Track listing for The Great Escape Artist:

• Underground
• End to the Lies
• Curiosity Kills
• Irresistible Force
• I'll Hit You Back
• Twisted Tales
• Ultimate Reason
• Splash a Little Water On It
• Broken People
• Words Right Out of My Mouth
