Changed name, changed sound for Glory Glory
Halifax’s Glory Glory — formerly Glory Glory Man United — are a changed band. Or maybe, better explained, a matured band? They’ve dropped the Man United portion of the name, which was probably going to end up getting them punched by a drunk “football” fan … Continue reading
Saturday night at NXNE
A Friday-night set was my favourite — Dum Dum Girls at Lee’s — but Saturday earned the honours of being my top night at the festival. I started my Saturday evening at Yonge-Dundas Square to see Cults, because I had … Continue reading

Girl + The Machine @ Rancho Relaxo

I spent much of the Broken Bricks set trying to figure out which band their sound reminded me of. I think I settled on Arctic Monkeys, but that’s still not really right. What I can tell you is that it’s … Continue reading
