Follow @hearwax For the millions that love Dave Chappelle as much as I do, the more frequent appearances that he is having in the media (from his well-documented muscle gaining to surprise comedy shows) is amazing news. So what does that make a radio interview? Answer: A must-watch. Dave sat down with Doghouse FM to talk [...]

Follow @hearwax Nardwuar (one of the best Canadians ever) is known for his awesome interviews. He has met up with Queens of the Stone Age‘s Josh Homme three times before, but set up another interview following QOTSA’s stop in Vancouver. You can check out the video below. QOTSA are said to be hard at work on a [...]

Follow @hearwax Emo is characterized by a series of peaks and valleys. The forebears of the style (genre, sound, conventions, what have you) experimented with a quiet to loud aesthetic that commingled expressive, nearly whispered passages with bursts of passion and, in some instances, violent chaos. I’m reminded of the template set by Indian Summer [...]

Follow @hearwax Ryan McKenney is a good dude. The Trap Them vocalist has been swamped with touring, work, and the recording of his band’s upcoming full-length, We Craft In Darkness, coming soon on Prosthetic Records. Now, Ryan already took the time to spill his guts to me at this time last year, and you can [...]

Follow @hearwax Starkweather are of a diametrical nature. The band has stood on its own for over twenty years, a flagship of the methods in which disparate genres of music can be incorporated creatively into a cohesive and enjoyable structure. While other bands have cheekily stolen templates from other artists to create “metal-core,” “death-core,” and [...]

Follow @hearwax Defeater are one of the most original and honest hardcore bands working today. Both their Travels LP and Lost Ground EP have been met with love and adoration in the hardcore community, while their live show has become known for its intensity (it is worth noting that their records aren’t exactly dull, either). [...]

Follow @hearwax Two years ago, I only knew Shehzaad Jiwani as a fellow music critic and writer that used to go to the same high school as me, making due at a local record shop in downtown Toronto. I wouldn’t have guessed that two years later his band, Arietta, would be making a big name [...]

Follow @hearwax With Is Dead, one could say that Crime In Stereo stepped into quite unlikely territory. The peak they reached as a hardcore band, with The Troubled Stateside, didn’t seem to apply any longer, but not because Is Dead didn’t qualify as a worthy contender for the former – the two just can’t really [...]
