Pennywise @ Metropolis

September 10 2010 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

When I was in grade nine, Pennywise was the quintessential punk band. Not only did they give me instant cool cred when everyone else was listening to Nickelback, but their music soothed over the rough moments of early high school. When I heard that they were coming to Montreal, and I had the chance of reviewing the show, I jumped at the opportunity. Also, they were playing with pop punk legends Authority Zero and Riverboat Gamblers, as well as local band Fifty Stars Anger. It was the promise of a majorly great show.

88 Fingers Louie @ Foufs

August 30 2010 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

I was overcome by a strange giddiness that I had not felt since the first time I saw Nomeansno live. 88 Fingers Louie is one of the many bands that I loved when I was sixteen but never had the chance to see in a live setting. This concert marks the end of those years as this will be the last band on the teenage bucket list of groups to see live (minus bands that broke up before I knew them, like Operation Ivy).

Heavy Montreal Roundup 2015 - The review

August 17 2010 // Sean Z. / Idle Matt / Angelica / Philiam / AndrewIXQ // Magazine // Concert Reviews

 

Heavy Montreal came and went again this year and it was a pretty awesome ride.  In addition to doing a live broadcast from the grounds on Sunday and having bands like Exes For Eyes, Sandveiss, Coal Chamber, and Dig It Up stop by to talk with us, we on the CJLO crew got to see a ton of bands and enjoy the hospitality of the Heavy staff, supplied by Evenko.  Here's a list of what we all saw:

Brother Ali sits down with Omar from "Hooked on Sonics"

August 13 2010 // Magazine // Interviews

Minneapolis MC Brother Ali paid CJLO a visit on April 11, 2010 to record a session for Hooked on Sonics.  I got to sit down and talk with him about a range of subjects from his conversion to Islam, religion in general, culture, identity, and how far he goes to put himself out there personally in his music.

Audio for the interview is available below. Transcription courtesy of Brian H.
