Band: No Joy Album: Ghost Blonde No Joy is lo-fi/shoegaze band based out of Montreal, relatively new to the scene but you wouldn’t think so upon hearing Ghost Blonde. The duo that makes up the core of this sonic guitar-fuelled sound is Jasamine White-Gluz and Laura Lloyd and together they really set themselves apart. Their […]
The Moneen Christmas Extravaganza: A Sweaty Night to Remember
Date of show: December 23, 2010 Moneen’s Christmas Extravaganza started off with amazing opening sets. The show sold out as soon as doors opened and there was already a good-sized crowd for Windsor’s Orphan Choir. When The Junction hit the stage, loyal fans crowded the stage and sang along with frontman Brent Jackson. Black Lungs […]
The Wooden Sky at The Music Gallery
Date of show: December 19, 2010 The Wooden Sky‘s show at The Music Gallery, with all profits going toward the Daily Bread Food Bank, was one they hope to make an annual event. This was one of my favourite shows of the year due to the gorgeous acoustics paired with beautiful vocals and wonderfully textured […]
An Untold City Holiday With The Darcys (& More!)
Date of show: December 18, 2010 The Untold City presented the first show we ever covered and it was certainly a good one. Not surprisingly, their holiday show was another banger. Oh, The Darcys, what a party you throw! If the Silver Dollar didn’t hit capacity, it was pretty darn close. The four talented fellas […]

A Sold Out Lee’s Palace Sings Along With The Rural Alberta Advantage
Date of show: December 16, 2010 The Rural Alberta Advantage haven’t played a Toronto show in over a year, so it wasn’t surprising this Toronto-by-way-of-Alberta (at least in the case of frontman Nils Edenloff) band sold out Lee’s Palace. All three members of this band bring something special to the stage. Paul Banwatt (drums) is […]
Die Mannequin at Sound Academy
Date of show: December 15, 2010 Die Mannequin The Salads Monster Truck
Interview: The Balconies
The Balconies headlined night two of Audio Blood Media’s two-night stand at The Rivoli. I had the opportunity to chat with The Balconies “backstage”, which really means we stood around near the doorway and chatted amongst a bunch of gear. It was pretty cramped and Jacquie jokingly remarked, “It’s a really great spot if you […]
Interview: Sandman Viper Command
[Note: Sandman Viper Command is sorta the first band we’ve bought shots for twice. I say “sorta” because we previously drank out of a bottle of Crown Royal in an alley… and two members of the band missed out. So technically, I count this as the first time.] Sandman Viper Command has been playing frequently […]
Interview: Charlotte Cornfield
I had the chance to sit down with Charlotte Cornfield, brand new to the Audio Blood family, on the eve of her first big Audio Blood showcase. Cornfield is a Toronto native, but she’s been living in Montreal for the past 4 and a half years working with a number of different projects, such as […]
