Date of show: September 22, 2012 Toronto-based rock band Rebel Rebel came onto the scene late last year. When I last saw frontman Travis Caine, he was fronting his own folk rock band The Lasting Effect, but the sound and energy behind the band has certainly changed since then. Joining Caine to complete the 5-piece […]

Date of show: July 26, 2012 Shot of choice: whiskey Written by: Chiara DiAngelo Toronto’s Grounders were the second band of the night. The five-piece is comprised of Andrew Davis (vocals, guitar), Dan Busheikin (guitar, keys, vocals), Evan Lewis (guitar), Mike Searle (bass) and Rob Canali (drums). They kicked off their set with “Crown Land.” […]

Date of show: July 13, 2012 We’ve seen HONHEEHONHEE a bunch of times now and, though we know their shows have gotten crazy before, this show at the Silver Dollar was by far their sweatiest show we’ve seen yet. As always, lead vocals (Greg Halpin and sometimes Matt Raudsepp) and instruments were exchanged, with the […]

Friday, June 15, 2012 2:54 – 9:00PM @ Lee’s Palace When I walked into Lee’s Palace to see London’s 2:54, it was already near the end of their set with just two songs left. Sisters Collette Thurlow and Hannah Thurlow are the foundation for this UK band, with gorgeous harmonies over their moody, jangly shoegaze […]

Thursday, June 14, 2012 Nash – 7:00PM @ Mod Club (Maple Music Recordings) I started my Thursday early, heading to see Nash at the Mod Club, one of the sets I’d been looking forward to most this festival after catching them acoustic during CMW. Luckily, he and his band did not disappoint. Hard-hitting beats and […]

Thursday, March 22, 2012 Reversing Falls – 8:00PM @ Silver Dollar (NeXT & The Untold City) While previously playing along to a drum machine, Reversing Falls recently added a drummer, with Jamie Thompson (formerly of Unicorns/Islands) playing his first show with them on Thursday night. They launched right into the boisterous “This Is Why We […]

Date of show: February 10, 2012 Written by: Chiara DiAngelo On one of the coldest nights of the year thus far, winter finally decided to show its face. If you happened to be at the Silver Dollar, however, you would have had no idea snow was falling outside as Jane’s Party brought a breath of […]

Date of show: September 29, 2011 Shot of choice: whiskey Reversing Falls is a 3-piece band based out of Montreal. Tyler Crawford fronts the band with Charlie Neufeld on guitar and Jesse Ash on bass. The band plays with a drum machine, but they play such an explosive breed of pop rock that you might […]
