A perfect example of the hip sounds of the St. John’s music circuit.

This is definitive alternative rock. A 16 track collection smattered with heavy guitar riffs and remnants of The Cure, The Shins, Arcade Fire, and Broken Social Scene throughout.

This is a really cool album, all group members in on the composing while utilizing pedals, distortion, and surf-rock vocals.

Unquestionably one of 2013’s finest offerings of current rock with a nod and a wink to old school.

Bridge are a young St. John’s quartet, playing angular, discordant alternative, in the same wheelhouse as Dischord-founders Fugazi.

Awesome local alternative rock. Each track distinctive, you sense influences from Hey Rosetta!, Wintersleep, and Rise Against. A touch of metal spills over the baselines while the vocals, flexible, clean, and dexterous. Pairs favorably with clear-tempo guitar and upbeat percussion. People are talking.

Corner Brook native Mena Lodge plays country-infused folk rock. With her simple, intimate and confessional style, she is sure to wow with her self-penned originals and excellent cover songs.

Finally! A new Elice and Wince Coles CD to tickle your funny bone.
Features the title track “Eli’s Newfie Cruise”.

Excerpt from the band’s bio:

“Another City is a fresh, new Toronto-based band that incorporates many different influences and styles into a fast-paced, dance-ready, spill your beer type of sound. With co-writers hailing form fog veiled and ocean-fresh St. John’s, Newfoundland, to the soot and grime of Detroit’s dirty little brother, Windsor. Another City combines energetic , catchy guitar riffs, hard-hitting drums, and a sometimes dueling, sometimes complimentary male-female vocal tandem. With some members focusing on musical performance degrees at York University, others being self-taught musicians day-shifting as 9-5 tradesman, and still others falling in between. Another City has found a delicate mix of theory and reckless abandon, meticulousness and disregard, planning and passion, art and noise.”

Tasha Power of Fred’s comments:

Featuring Sarah Budden (Bass and Vocals) and Steve Finn (Drums), both from St. John’s, NL.

Catchy pop/punk/hardcore, melodic and engergetic.

The twin guitars appear like four complimenting the density of the lyrics. The layered vocal harmonies are a stand-out feature and mesh superbly with the crisp, complex music sprinkled with a few killer guitar solos.
