The bands are really good, this is your opportunity to catch emerging bands before they get big. Then you can say to your friends “yeah I remember I saw Teen Daze at a festival in Chilliwack in 2011″. That is if the world doesn’t end in 2012.

Prizes include recording time from Hive Creative Labs, showcase spots with AMS Events, Canadian Music Week in Toronto, North By Northest in Toronto, CITR Thunderbird Radio Hell, Automatic acceptance to Music Waste 2010, radio exposure, articles on CiTR 101.9 FM’s Discorder Magazine, Van Music, Mint records among others. Scratch Records Band Merch Canada prize packages among other things. The contest takes place at The Railway every Tuesday and there are five judges per night, people related to the music industry.

You’ll need to send:

- A minimum 3 song demo of original material. CD/MP3/MySpace/Bandcamp/Whatever. Rough mixes absolutely OK. We’ll get the idea.

After 8 years, the In The House Festival has become a Vancouver institution, bringing intimate, live performances right into your neighbours’ livingrooms!

Founded by Metal Ron and Gerald Rattlehead in 1985 and now continued by DJs Geoff “The Metal Pimp”, Marcia “The Mistress of Metal”, and Andy, Powerchord is Vancouver’s longest running metal show. Over the years, the show has become a staple of Vancouver’s metal community by continuously supporting and informing the masses about both independent and mainstream metal in Vancity’s metal scene. In celebration of this feat, Powerchord is putting on an epic headbanging party with headliners Woods of Ypres along with locals Titans Eve, Scissortooth, Scythia, Magnus Rising and Auroch at Vancouver’s famed Rickshaw Theatre (254 East Hastings).

Listen to the podcast in the postcast. I was blown away by the quality of this band. I have an EP called Simon Says and it is really good but it doesn’t capture the energy and the charisma that they portray when they play LIVE! The songs will crawl into your head and stay there until you have to play them in your stereo at loud volume.
A lot of bands and influences rushed through my head when I was watching at them, the first one was De Lorean, that Spanish band, but also some songs really remind me of The Strokes, so I guess they pop indie rock is between the electronic ambient of De Lorean and the guitar riffs of the Strokes. “Joy Division” says Miso, the singer “The Smiths” replies Valentino, other answers start flowing “New Order, The Cure, Britpop, Donosaur Jr. The Velvet Underground, T-Rex”. I saw them at the Biltmore and invited them to The Morning After Show a couple of weeks after that to know more about this indie band.
