Fresh Picks: Knifey.

Knifey – Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Cover photo credit – Michael Mangov. I’ll start by stating that I’ve just added these guys as my new favourite Canadian exports. Also on the list The Flatliners, Trailer Park Boys and Burt Cummings (yes, that’s his name). To date the band have but a...

Slow Death Lights – ‘Slow Death Lights’ In Review.

Slow Death Lights – Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Down and dirty, gloomy, melodic and inviting Stoner Rock. We’re done, review over. If only it was that easy… We are gathered here today to witness a dissection of the brand new album from Toronto bluesy-Stoner Rocker four-piece, Slow Death Lights. The eponymously...

Young Galaxy – ‘Stay For Real’.

Young Galaxy – Montréal, Quebec, Canada. Montréal Electronic Music four-piece Young Galaxy are no strangers to the world of what I would call underground Pop. The band touch on the synth laden world of Electronic Music as much as they do contemporary Indie as there is so much more than...

Fresh Harvest #4.

Black Tree Suns – Plymouth, England, United Kingdom. Imagine a hybrid between the tried and tested Grunge of Alice In Chains or Pearl Jam and the moody melodies and sharp riffage of Stone Sour. Imagine calm drum beats, mellow guitar riffs, sweet little harmonies and pain stricken vocals. This is...

Fresh Harvest #2.

VACAY – Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Photo credit – Mark Klassen. Starting off todays Fresh Harvest we have Toronto singer-songwriter VACAY and his latest single ‘Shoes’. Now I know what you’re thinking and no, it isn’t another catchy Pop-song about feeling your best in your new pair of kicks, rather a...

Fresh Harvest #1.

Editor’s Note: As Musically Fresh is operated in the spare time of it’s majoritively part-time staff, we are almost always inundated with requests. This is no bad thing, but it can make it difficult to find the time to feature everything we are asked to and that’s unfortunate. So to...

In Gear With… Shift-D.

Shift-D – Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Shift-D are certifiable veterans. They are band that have existed in their own Punk-Rock world for the past seventeen years and finally they are a band that have seen somewhat of a resurgence in the past two years. With five releases dated from the year...

The Elusive Sounds of Ladderlad and ‘No Good Idea’.

Ladderlad – Ontario, Canada. Ladderlad is an elusive musician from somewhere in Ontario in Canada. From an early age through a slow but decisive flirtation with Punk-Rock and the likes of staple revivalists NOFX, his adoration for organised sound began to take form. NOFX may well have become a huge...

Lampshades – The ‘In Media Res’ EP.

Lampshades – Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Sometimes life is beautiful, but let’s face it, most of the time it sucks. That’s what makes the sunsets so pretty, and love so grand, because eventually everything ends. This is what Toronto natives Lampshades are saying with their phenomenal one of a kind In...

Deathsticks and Their Haunting Garage Of Distorted Noise.

Deathsticks – Whitby, Ontario, Canada. I’ll try to keep this short. Whitby based Deathsticks are a very obscure and dirty sounding duo that I honestly have no idea about whether they are a serious effort or not and I’m not even sure if I mean that as a negative criticism. They remind...
