New Music: The Follow Ups Follow Up Their Ep With New Album ‘…Don’t Like You Either’

Hailing from Moncton NB, the Ramonescore quartet of The Follow Ups is delivering their veteran punk rock experience on their new album. …Don’t Like You Either is the sophomore follow-up to their debut EP, The Half Of It. With multiple songs having a touch of the macabre it’s only fitting that the album is set for official release on Halloween. Better get your candy bowls ready because it’s a pretty “sweet” listen.

Our Favourite Murals From Festival Inspire 2019

Festival Inspire continued strong this summer by bringing in artists from all over the world to paint Dieppe and Moncton for its fifth year. The week long event saw many visitors who enjoyed watching the progression of the pieces from start to finish.

We picked our favourite pieces from this year’s Festival Inspire. If you haven’t already been out to see all the murals around Moncton, let this be your guided tour to the ones we liked best. Continue reading Our Favourite Murals From Festival Inspire 2019 →

Single: Amy Stone & The Veneers Debut First Single, ‘Courage Under Fire’

In the categories of apples and oranges, it is hard to put the musical efforts of Amy Stone into a single fruit basket. On one hand, there is the lascivious, bacchanalian romp of The Galpines, a no holds barred folk-powered free-for-all of questionable life choices. On the other hand we have, Amy Stone & The Veneers, a perfectly polished high-powered pop machine. The two are almost incomparable, but with the release of the latter’s debut single, “Courage Under Fire,” we’re now at least able to hold them up side by side.
