Rah Rah Live @ CJLO

November 7 2012 // Sessions

Regina, SK's Rah Rah have been through Montreal numerous times but unfortunately scheduling or other things have always kept us from getting them in to do a session. Finally, during Pop Montreal 2012, we made it happen. While a couple of the band's members are no strangers to CJLO's studios (having recorded a session here with their other band Sylvie), the whole band felt right at home and cooked up four delicious session tracks

METZ Live @ CJLO

November 1 2012 // Sessions

Following a blistering show at Pop Montreal 2012 opening for Hot Snakes (where Hot Snakes bassist Gar Wood borrowed their bass to play a cover of Drive Like Jehu's "Bullet Train to Vegas"), longtime Hooked on Sonics favourites METZ paid their first visit to the CJLO studios to record two songs from their amazing 2012 self-titled full length (that has since spent numerous weeks on top of the CJLO Top 30), and a song from a bonus 7" released with the album.

D.O.A. @ Les foufounes électriques

October 22 2012 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

D.O.A.

The spectacle at Foufounes Electriques on Monday night was no evening with your uncle and his dusty old punk LPs talking about the good ol’ days. Vancouver veteran rockers D.O.A. catered to a crowd of fresh faces who were hip to the new modernized and refined punk-rock, and also delivered a dose of Canadian grade-A punk nostalgia to the hoards of seasoned fans.

Ollie North – Bringer

October 19 2012 // Magazine // Music Reviews

Ollie North’s latest EP Bringer resonates a beautiful folksy aesthetic, which is firmly grounded in an urban sensibility. The softness and warmth of his sounds mix to construct a dreamy atmosphere, while his unassuming voice, almost hidden in the music, adds a homely comforting feel for the listener.
