Yardlets, Lot Lizard

Every end has a new beginning- One of the regular members from Broken Social Scene, Sam Golberg kicked off a new chapter with Jeff Edwards, (of Shot While Hunting), called Yardlets. The BSS alumni released a new EP, Lot Lizard, in the new noise/punk form and ready to debut the full-length in early 2012. In the new outfit, there is no the melodic vestige from BSS remaining, however, it has evolved to an explosion of vehement distortion.

Second song off the EP, Short Skirt, welcomed Death From Above 1979's Sebastian Granger on drums, which amplifies the intensity of the tune. (click here to check out the song)

Yardkels are performing a free gig tonight on January 31st at Horseshoe Tavern.

SSRIs unleashed a new video, Clay Face Meat Boots

Music Psychos' almuni SSRI debuted a new video, Clay Face, Meat Boots. It captures a battle of human-sized eggs at a dinner table. 

Just to give you an update on us, we're currently writing a follow-up album to 2010's Effeminate Godzilla Sized Wind Chimes. Lots to look out for this band in 2012.

Yamantaka//Sonic Titan on January 28th, @ the Garrison

Countless people gathered to fill the Garrison to capacity on Saturday, January 28th, filled with hope and excitement to witness the first show in 2012 of Toronto/Montreal psychedelic noise opera collective, Yamantaka//Sonic Titan. This show was probably the most buzzed gig of the weekend, covered by numerous media outfits, including Now Magazine BlogTO and the Grid, yet the self-acclaimed, 'Noh-Wave' collective lived up to their hype by the phenomenal stage setup and performance. 


With a blast of thunder, dragons arose on the stage, swimming through the sea of collected audience. At last, fully dressed in white facial make-up and kimono, they emerged on the stage. The lead singer, Ruby Kato Attwood dressed as a Miko, a shrine maiden, stayed apathetic during the 'Counting Track', which left her mysterious, while the drummer Alaska B slammed her drums, '1.2.3.4..."-while her counting compellingly echoed throughout the venue. It seemed as if the whole venue was transferred to a whole different world, the world originally constituted by their 'Noh-Wave' tunes. 

It is also worth mentioning that their formidable supporting members, including the guitarist, John Ancheta and keyboard player Brendan Swanson, which my eyes were glued to amid the slick artistic performance.
