Some Random Reviews For Yous!:

Young Legionnaires - New project from Bloc Party guitarist is much heavier and thrashier than I expected, but quit enjoyable.

Sloan - Canada's indie rock lords celebrate 20 years with this new release.

Northcote - Sold Canadian folk rock, see him perform this coming Sunday at Phog!

Progress Report - A collaboration from Detroit's D.Allie and Eddie Logix, my favourite hip hop release of the week!

Dreissk & Winterlight - More new materials from one of my favourite electronic labels, N5MD. I don't think I've ever been disappointing in a release from them.

Audio/Rocketry - Edmonton based folk-punk. Their last album did surprisingly well here for an independent unknown act.

CJAM New Music For May 1st/2011!!!

Greetings All!

Sorry you are getting this email so late, I had planned to send you this on Thursday morning but had to call in and use my first sick day because I scratched my Cornea (Ouch!), I'm just fine though and back on the job after a busy weekend of packing, moving, cleaning and unpacking.

Last week Vern and I met up to plan out some special programming for DEMF coming up at the end of the month, expect an email with more details to be sent out this week and feel free to contact me if you have any ideas or want to get involved!

Lots of great music this week including a number of release that I am personally quite excited about (check out some brief reviews below)! As per usual all of the artists listed have been linked to their respective web pages for your previewing convenience! listen and enjoy!

An Horse - I enjoyed this boy/girl duos first EP and feel that this release compliments it nicely. This band got a lot of buzz touring with Tegan & Sara last year and is slotted to play this summer's Lalapalooza Fest.

Deezuz - Solid western Canadian Hip Hop, and the only hip hop add of the week! Check it!

Errors - First album to be released on Mogwai's personally owned record label and it's a heck of a release. Described as "Ravier than Foals, more fun than F*ck Buttons and flexing more post-hardcore muscle than Metronomy.", which is actually somewhat accurate. This kind of music is my cup of tea and is better listened to than it is compared or described.

Explosions In The Sky - The radio rep at Sub Pop Records thinks that the instrumental rock sound of Explosions In The Sky appeals more to men than women... Is there an merit to this? Ladies?

Fleet Foxes - Sophomore release from a band who's debut self titled album was one of the most celebrated releases of 2008. That's a lot of expectation to live up to, probably why their front man spent the last three year writing and recording in various studios and locales throughout the states.

High Mother - Locally made old-school punk rock! With drumming from our very own Rob Brun! Written and recorded over two years this album captures the bands raw, high energy sound.

Jennifer Castle - Psychedelic folk rock sounds from this talented Canadian songstress. This new album was release on Flemish Eye, a label who has consistently shipped us great music like Women and Braids.

The Process Meets Ghetto Priest - Some great Dub music for you! Not something we receive a ton of, so have yourself a listen.

Young Widows - New album from this trio is probably their least heavy to date, but I still enjoyed as much as their earlier louder material.
