You know, it's funny, I was talking with a fellow Canadian music writer when I was catching a few punk bands performing in downtown To...

And that's the last of the vacation reviews... next up, let's talk about Florence + The Machine and hopefully it'll go better...

Man, this was long in coming - and holy shit, this was awesome! Definitely happy to have covered this. Next up, before I tackle Laura V...

So here's something as a music critic I'm very conscious of, but I doubt is noticed by anyone else: the 'token' album. And...

Well, this was... interesting? I'm surprised how well this series has done thus far, tbh.  Next up, Ty Segall, so stay tuned!

Okay, this was worth covering. Definitely a solid record, definitely worth your time. And on the topic of surprises that were definitel...
