Music Video: Brandon Voyeur Creates Art-Rock Spectacle ‘IIV’
Believe it or not, there’s a genuine shortage of modern rock stars, or at least true artists, in the world. There’s a lacking in the sort of people who will get up on stage and not just make music, but perform! Kanye West isn’t about to pull an Alice Cooper and chop off his own head on stage, only to reattach it during the next song. If Taylor Swift ever sets fire to a guitar at best it’ll be as a poor cliché, or, at its worst, a tragedy.
When artists like Brandon Voyeur comes along, with the full song and dance of a Thin White Duke, it’s a rarity that gets lumped in on the fringes of art-rock. Playing to his strengths, Voyeur’s latest release, “IIV,” feels like a teaser to a full-on rock opera. Unfortunately, as he explains, that’s been more of a hindrance than anything at this point in his career. Continue reading Music Video: Brandon Voyeur Creates Art-Rock Spectacle ‘IIV’

Halifax Pop Explosion 2018: The Year of Discovery
Halifax Pop Explosion has been a staple in the Halifax music scene for generations, and for me even served as an introduction to live music. After celebrating the 25th Anniversary last year with Headliners including Bat Sabbath, Charlotte Day Wilson, Cloud Nothings and METZ, the expectations seemed pretty stacked.

Single: Wintersleep Keyboardist Jon Samuel Releases ‘Dead Melodies’ – The Banger He Doesn’t Expect Anyone To Hear
If you and all your friends just happen to be rock stars, even your more obscure efforts inevitably come to light. When Jon Samuel, keyboardist for Wintersleep, casually enlisted his friends to play on his most recent project, Dead Melodies, a lament that seems almost ironic in its reference to past failures considering his all-star lineup. The debut, and titular single, is a wild dance party, an absolute banger, in remembrance of all the singles that came before without getting the recognition they may have deserved.
