Interview: Faithdown October 2006
Your name, Faithdown, what does it mean to you?
Justin Humes: It represents those times when all bands are having trouble and downtime, trying to figure out what you are doing with yourself, what you are doing as a band. It’s trying to truly believe in what you are doing, to put your faith down and […] -
Madina Lake: The Disappearance of Adalia, 2006, Roadrunner Records
Madina Lake’s debut EP The Disappearance of Adalia, a slightly poppy undertone, with sporadic bursts of anger; a scream here, a guitar riff there.
Contagiously catchy, “House of Cards” is sure to get heads bopping. With a song for almost everyone on their EP, Chicago boys Madina Lake have mastered the slower rock ballads, the mysterious […] -

On November 3rd 2006, in the cozy but packed confines of The Savannah Room, The House of Commons delivered on both counts. Between sound checks and […]

Nov 9, 2006, UKULA Store, The Coast
I opened the front door of The UKULA store and paid little attention to the private function sign taped to the door. The place was rammed. It was the CD release party for The Coast, and I had arrived just in time to hang up my coat and grab a brew before taking in the […]

Nov 4, 2006, The Ford Plant, Paper Moon
It was a bitterly cold night in Brantford, Ontario, as I stood outside of the Ford Plant finishing my cigarette. There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky and the stars radiated like an ambient white blanket over Brantford’s desolate downtown core. The venue, surrounded by rickety decaying buildings, rusting cars and dead trees, still […]

Nov 4, 2006, Tranzac, Ghost Hands
Boy obtains acoustic guitar. Boy writes songs. Boy forms band. Band breaks up. Boy writes more songs. Boy plays shows. Boy gets nervous. Boy becomes man along the way. Man plays even more shows. Man grows comfortable in own skin. People start to notice man.
