Dead Beats Reviews: Nosferatu

February 12 2025 // Prettydeadb0y // Film

As the lights dimmed and the audience (mostly) hushed, Nosferatu opens with a blank screen and a quiet lullaby followed by heart-wrenching tears. Immediately, we are thrown into the familiar yet unfamiliar as we witness Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp) make her first contact with Count Orlock (Bill Skarsgård).

February 7 2025 // Taina Njimbre // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Last Thursday, bilingual singer-songwriter Nico Play played a short and sweet set at La Sotterranea. The intimate setting of the venue paired beautifully with the serene sounds of the artist’s music, where he performed on stage solo with an acoustic guitar. Not only did this make the show more personal and raw, but it emphasized his honeyed vocals and vulnerable lyrics.

The Best Way to Spend a Weekend Sitting on a Living Room Floor: a Review of mai/son's Expo88

February 5 2025 // Sam Kitch // Magazine // Features

After being in Montreal for almost 2 years, I was confident that I had experienced every Montreal venue worth experiencing. From grand theatres with horrible air circulation to gravel pits under graffiti-ridden bridges, if music could be played there I assumed I had had their stamp on my wrist at some point. Though, as I stand here in a living room on Saint Urbain, beer and earplugs in hand (both cost $5), I realize that was stupid. From the outside, mai/son is your average Mile End townhouse.

February 3 2025 // Samantha Rainone // Magazine // Concert Reviews

There’s something uniquely special about seeing a band on the rise in a venue that barely holds a few hundred people, especially when that band is Wunderhorse, — a UK-based rock band that’s quickly gained a reputation for their powerful blend of raw emotion, intricate melodies, and explosive energy.
