Rastaboyz.com reviews Toussaint new album

Formed Originally in Calgary’s Parks and Fields Late Summer ‘09

The 70s era of rock n’ roll was a time when the purchase of an album was a sacred rite of passage, attending a concert equivalent to a mass religious experience, when the image and art of the rock n’ roll performer merged as one. CRASH KELLY wants to take you back… Ladies and gentlemen, please adjust your Hi-Fi players for the next rock n’ roll transmission. Crash Kelly is the soulchild of Sean Kelly, a Toronto session musician who has toured and recorded with some of the biggest names in Canadian music. After years of playing sideman to various and sundry artists, the Rock n’ Roll animal in Sean could no longer be contained. In 2002, Crash Kelly was born.

The band has a long history. Back in high school, drummer Zippy Pinhead formed the Stiffs with Gerry Useless (who later formed the Subhumans) and Mike Normal; later forming “Sgt. Nick Penis and the Brassball Battalion” with D.O.A. founders Randy Rampage and Chuck Biscuits. While still in Victoria, Duane met Zippy while playing bass for soon to be star Chrissy Steele. Zippy went on to move to San Francisco to play with the influential band K.G.B. before returning to Vancouver to join D.O.A.

They have steadily worked their way into the Winnipeg music scene since 2005.

Jerry Leger is a Toronto based folk/roots songwriter. He has self released 3 acclaimed albums.

One basement practice lead to another and it quickly became apparent that the Balconies had something special.

It’s a rare and fine thing when a new voice arrives, fully-realized, on the music scene. From the first note of Aaron Cadwaladr’s folk-roots infused debut release Wade Through the Dark, it’s evident that this West Coast-based singer-songwriter has an exceptional combination of originality and maturity – an earthy yet sophisticated sensibility sure to garner him a focal role among the new generation of artists on this province’s vibrant indie music scene.

When most kids their age were riffling through college textbooks and figuring out the path of least resistance towards some sort of stable income, these small town boys were riffling through their parents record collections, studying the messy emotion-fueled rock of Pavement and the fuzzy post-rock discography of Sonic Youth, dreaming of ways they could marry it all together. So far it hasn’t worn off, being the average age of 21, they still have their collective sights set on a future a little bit more shaky and unstable than the rest of their peers.

Straight from the heart of the suburban wasteland of southern Ontario.

TofuMeat is indulgence in absurdity, comfort in sonance and sheer thrashing of life and limbs. They want to rock you into delirious ecstasy and make you dance like rabid hedonists…. If you like solid rock and roll with a little grit then check out their tracks, “Girl Listen”, “Uncomfortably Numb” and “Black Leather”.

Formed in the early months of 2008, The Pining were brought together by a shared love of kitchen parties, old country and Jameson’s.

Run With The Kittens have played almost 800 shows in their 7 year career.

The Silver Hearts are a folk/rock, blues, jazz band out of Peterborough Ontario. I heard about these guys while I was camping in cottage country.
