I had the chance to chat with Pete Robertson, drummer for The Vaccines. He happened to be in Milwaukee during our chat, as the band is currently on a whirlwind tour. The band released their debut full-length What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? on March 14 in the UK, but the album just hit […]

Before playing a rockin’ set at The Garrison, I was able to sit down with The Mark Inside for a chat. If you’re unfamiliar with the band, The Mark Inside has been a band for over 10 years, with only one recent lineup change, losing an original member but gaining a new member, Reade Ollivier […]

On April 12th, I saw Nick Teehan play in the backroom of the Cameron House with his full band accompanying him. His elaborate brass-heavy band includes sousaphone, trumpet and flugelhorn, in addition to keys, guitar, and drums. His lazy baritone complements his rather playful style. I don’t think I stopped smiling for that entire set […]

Dinosaur Bones is set to release their debut full-length album, My Divider. This Toronto band has been gaining plenty of ground over the last few years and with a record release, they’re about to gain even more. I had a chance to chat with Ben Fox (vocals, guitar) and we talked about all the excitement […]

Just last month, we threw a bit of a party with Jane’s Party. About a week before the show, we got together with the band for a video interview. Unfortunately, there was an issue with corruption of the file. We decided we’d have a go at it again, this time minus the video and just […]

I had a chance to have a quick chat with the guys from The Ascot Royals backstage at The Rivoli. They were in the midst of changing into their dress shirts, vests and jackets, gearing up for what they hoped would be a fun show (and it was). This was my first time meeting the […]

[Note: Click the photo for a better quality image. And we owe Volcano Playground shots!] I had a chance to chat with Volcano Playground after their set at The Baitshop, which is a really interesting space featuring bands at the top of a halfpipe. Our chat was a little distracting due to being jammed in […]
