“Despite all the death and darkness, it’s actually meant as a positive infusion, where it’s meant to be entertaining. And meant to make you happy and somewhat content with life rather than the opposite.” -Tobias Forge
Despite the title of their latest album, there is no blemish in the great light that Half Moon Run cast. We spoke over the phone with Dylan Phillips [drums, right centre] prior to the band’s show in Victoria.
Make rock wild again.
That’s a mission that Kelowna’s The Wild! have been embarking on, and one that has caught on in their home country of Canada, as well as in Europe.
“It’s about to get heavy.”
Not only does this lyric open the chorus of “Devil”, but it is also a realization that Shinedown had early in the recording process of their latest album, Attention, Attention. This marks the band’s sixth studio album, and it’s their most honest one yet.
The ladder is theirs, and it’s one they’ve been climbing for over a decade. Welsh indie rock trio The Joy Formidable had an incredible 2018, releasing their fourth studio album, AAARTH, as well as touring with huge names in rock music like the Foo Fighters.
Jeff Gutt [pictured above, left center] is certainly an experienced pilot when it comes to navigating the airspace of the music industry. From his former band Dry Cell to being a finalist on The X-Factor in 2013, there was no hesitation to board the plane and fly Stone Temple Pilots at a steady cruising altitude.
Marianas Trench are not haunted by the echoes of the past - they are inspired by them. We caught up with the band prior to their show in Calgary to talk about their latest album, Phantoms, as well as the Suspending Gravity tour and their evolving career.
“I really had to hold my hands up - not in defeat - but certainly like I could do with a hand.” -Frank Turner
Reviews
What an interesting sight it was at the Saddledome on October 27th, the unofficial Friday night of Halloween 2023, with progressive metal legends Tool taking the stage. The evening promised a unique and electrifying experience, and Tool delivered in spades.
Dave Grohl would simply point to a section of the crowd, and they would explode into cheers. In fact, the Saddledome has never been louder. It wasn’t frantic, high pitched screams, rather, a thunderous and powerful roar, and it almost felt like an earthquake could happen at any moment.
Emerging with only an acoustic guitar, Corgan strummed the first chords of “Disarm,” and the crowd erupted, jumping to their feet.
Even after all this time, The Eagles still draw quite the crowd, and play with the same amount of subtle enthusiasm as a young rock band, keeping fans of all ages on their toes, as well as on their feet.
