Halifax rapper Tachichi is stepping up to the plate with his take on Drake’s single “Nice For What” in his latest video.

New Music: Miller | MacDonald | Cormier Debut First Album As A Trio With ‘South Haven’
It sounds ridiculous, but I swear there must be some sort of genetic predisposition towards this sort of thing. Buckle down your sporran and kick up your heels; Ben Miller, Anita MacDonald and Zakk Cormier have released South Haven, their first album as a trio, and it’s enough to make you swear off a lifelong habit of wearing pants in favour of a kilt.

But what could it all mean?! Continue reading Music Video: The Town Heroes, Unicorns And Nachos All Collide On ‘Poets’
Music Video: Matt Steele & The Corvette Sunset Find Silver Linings In ‘Handshake Deal’
Matt Steele & The Corvette Sunset are one of Halifax’s biggest up-and-coming bands. One part Elvis Costello, one part Marlon Brando, one part Nova Scotian compatriots The Trews, Matt Steele & Co. combine retro swagger with catchy bar-rock hooks. So when they write a song like “Handshake Deal” about trying to reclaim some self-confidence after going through a manipulative relationship, it still comes off as pretty fun.
