[Note: Apologies for the semi-offensive photo… but really, would you rather have it any other way?] I had a chance to sit down with Halifax’s The Stanfields at the Audio Blood office before their show at The Horseshoe Tavern on January 15, 2011.

We stood next to a phone booth on Dovercourt (they almost chose to do the interview in the phone booth), just […]

Interview: Clothes Make The Man

[Note: We sincerely apologize for guitarist Scott Henry being left out of this shot!] I sat down with Clothes Make The Man just as they were completing their set list for their big EP release show. Fortunately, they took a break to have a chat with me. According to Ryan McLennan (vocals, guitar), common themes […]
