Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Track: Moya

Genre: Post-rock
Similar Artists: Set Fire to Flames, A Silver Mt. Zion

I'm just going to post some tracks from some bands I've had the privilege to see over the weekend.

Gy!be was an amazing show, one that gave me chills. I thought they could have played longer, but hey at least I managed to see them. I find that when going to a post-rock show, you don't really need to look at the band members on stage, you just listen. Beautiful music, it makes me dream.

Minor Threat

Track: Filler

Artist: Minor Threat

Album: I don't know, download their discography.

Genre: Punk, Hardcore

Similar Artists: Black Flag, Bad Brains, Circle Jerks

If you don't like Minor Threat get the fuck outta here right now.

Krallice

Krallice's new album came out. The youtube quality is kind of shit. They're playing a 19+ show here in Toronto on April 26th.

Track: The Clearing

Artist: Krallice

Album: Diotima

Genre: Progressive Black Metal

Similar Artists: Skagos, Panopticon, Cobalt

Download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UPSLJ7GX

Krallice's third album is a little bit of a departure from their first two; venturing into more ambient territory. Sludgy vocals abound due to Nick taking over most of the vocal duties. I haven't really had the opportunity for it to sink in, but at first listen it seems to be just (just) trailing behind their previous two albums (which I highly recommend checking out.)

These blokes are amazing live. If you live in the GTA, I urge you to check them out. You shall not be disappointed, especially considering the bands they've supported (Night Birds, Vile Intent, Purity Control, etc.)

Genre: Hip-Hop, Rap

Similar Artists: Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler the Creator,

Odd Future blew up and Earl and Tyler seem to be getting most of the attention. Domo lays down some important and meaningful tracks on Rolling Papers; an album about smoking weed and eating cereal. wolf gang.

Hoax

Download (7"): http://www.mediafire.com/?b53vv3azcb6kgvd

Angry, angry Hardcore from West Massachusetts. From what I can hear, Hoax seems to share my interest in suicide and stomping around. They're playing a $5 dollar show at The Garage (73 Cecil st, just off Spadina) with Direct Approach, some strapping young lads from Toronto.
