Culture Reject

Hopefully this doesn't come across as overkill with two posts in one day.

I've always been a big fan of Black Cabbage, a band from Guelph from the '90s. Their time came and went but at the end of last year a group on Facebook was dedicated to hoping the band would reunite for a show and word came that they would be performing at Hillside this year.

Also appearing there will be one of Black Cabbage's main members, Michael O'Connell's new project Culture Reject. The album is out on White Whale Records and is another one I've really gotten into since I've first heard it.

I'm trying to get into Hillside this year as a volunteer and if I'm fortunate enough to be picked I'll definitely be checking out both Black Cabbage and Culture Rejects if possible. Here's a taste of the band from the White Whale website.

Culture Rejects-Inside The Cinema

Hilotrons

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted and got a lot of stuff that has peaked my interest the last few months. No promises on how often the posts will come but I'm going to try and revive this.

First off is Ottawa's Hilotrons. I caught them at Phog Lounge in Windsor back in April. They're on Kelp Records, so I was immediately interested. I checked out the album and to be honest, I wasn't too crazy about them right away.

However I was soon to be proven wrong by their live performance. It was an amazing, high energy show. If you get the chance to see them make sure you try and get out to see them. A couple of songs via the Kelp records website to give you a taste.
