Spring break.

Yeah, that's right, it's my spring break! Between my old and new jobs, I'll post my review of Righteous Jams (no, I haven't forgotten)! So make sure to look after that.

I'll resume our Toronto week end cause I haven't done it yet.
Half way through the trip, we learned that Mindset wouldn't play, which was a big bummer for everyone in the car. So the mood was a little on the downside, we get to Toronto finally, and we are looking for the pizza place, we can't find any parking spot and Dany is getting stressed out because his show is 15 minutes away and he can't reach anyone in his band. We go to the venue and some old man screams at Dany, who doesn't understand A THING, calling him a fratboy with his varsity jacket, a bitch who can't get into punk rock at his age, bla bla bla. Drama's going on, we finally go to the pizza place and Dany finally reaches someone, we get to the venue again, no one is there, so we fold the inserts for the tapes.

The show starts with The Proof, who were awesome, you should check it out! After that, Look Beyond, weirdest performance ever seen from them, then after 20 minutes of Tony setting up his new wireless thing, people were leaving and almost booing them, Progression played, and they were better than LB. A friend and me leave, we go swimming at the pool, walk a little downtown Toronto, and when we step in the room, Dany calls me to come get his amp 'cause of drama that happened. We then learned that No Tolerance didn't play either.

After a good night of sleep, we go to Wholefoods groceries, grab some food and head to Sadie's dinner, where we got an awesome vegetarian breakfast before a long ride back home.

There were a couple of photos going on but I can't find any...will post one up when I do.

TIME&PRESSURE

Okay that record is so good. Even better than the first one, which I thought is one of the best nowadays. The opening track, Create/Control couldn't be better, with that drum roll in the beggining. Wow. I don't know what to say other than that. I'm more than happy to have ordered it. I am even more bummed that they haven't played in Toronto finally. (I haven't talked about it yet, but yeah, they didn't play).

Favorite track : Create/Control.

Picture : Cover of the tour photo book Chris Bavaria (from the band) made, it is awesome!

TORONTO.

Be ready to read about it, I already feel that it's going to be awesome.
I will for sure be fueling on coffee, for a 6 hours car ride.
A stop at Whole foods market, Pizzarello for veggie pizzas and Sadie's for veggie breakfast.
Pool in the hotel, party with Look Beyond, Progression and Mindset.
Awesome week end, but there will be snow. fuck.

FUCK.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. It's snowing again! I was so happy when I could wear my Vans shoes.

I really hope it will melt before going to Toronto.

No Tolerance

I was thinking about what I should write in my blog when the purpose of it just got back to me. Discovering new bands, new albums. Which, in 5 posts, I haven't done yet. So this is the second week I'm doing this and have not even discovered one yet, so I'm doing it right now. I would ask for some suggestions but since my blog is rather new, there aren't tons of readers, even less people who comment, so I'll just pick one myself and wait for suggestions for weeks to come.

Here's what I'm doing right now, while I'm writing this. I'm looking through the React! board for some band I don't know that might interest me. Finally, I decided that I'd look into bands that are going to be in Toronto that I don't know. So 'No Tolerance' is my first attempt of discovery!

I listened to their '08 demo, it is hard as fuck! Great riffs and awesome "in your face" songs that makes you want to mosh in your living room (yep, even me, but I didn't). Definitly a good band and I'm looking forward to see them in less then 2 weeks! Fave song on the demo : Boston Ex.
If you guys have any more infos on them, if they have another demo out, an EP or whatever they should have out let me know! ('cause I'm not so sure I got their myspace page right)


Next band I'm checking out : Righteous Jams.


This is an attempt of writing something interresting. It probably isn't but I'll work on things and make a better review, listen to the band a little more than I've done today, and many more things I'm forgetting. I'm trying to find time with school, work and jams ya know.

Finally

There it is. We finally got it! The hardcore mobile.
Here's my question : what sticker should we put on this guy?

Toronto

At the end of the month, both Look Beyond and Progression, Montreal's best straight edge bands, are going to play in Toronto with MINDSET! There were no question I would miss that so I'm going to drive some friends and my BF to party and mosh. Fuck, I can't wait!




Plus, some of the pictures I took for Look Beyond's first show with Guns Up!
