In late February, I visited the Bashing. The Bashing consists of individuals from Montreal who are passionate about all things medieval. Every Tuesday, they meet under a church and practice sword duelling. While doing so, they wear medieval-inspired armour, and wield foam weapons. I went there for a video assignment on the activity but did not expect to discover a new genre of music. 

In an age where new music is plentiful and ever-changing, the excitement of nuanced sounds can be tainted by one’s struggle to determine whose album to play next. The bottomless pit that is today’s music streaming services can exacerbate the daunting task of finding what you really want to listen to.

Priors is the band I’d choose if I ever had to, like the characters in my favorite war movies, storm the beaches of Normandy. Priors makes me want to rage. Listening to Priors makes me feel like I could take over a country and brasanly threaten the independence of all of my closest historical allies.

    In June of 2022, Kraftwerk made an appearance at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier for a grandiose multimedia concert. My friend and I considered going, he being a much bigger fan of the early Kraftwerk stuff than I.
