  • Our record came out today

    I started writing these songs back in 2010.  7 and 3/4 years later they are out there, it’s pretty cool.  Early reviews from Ghettoblaster Magazine, With A Messy Head and Popdust.Com are already out with more to come from Magnet, Bandcamp, and others. Magnet premiered Contamination In the Grass last week, while The Big Takeover premiered…

  • Is the Maple Leaf a Fig Leaf?

    Canada often has a reputation as a kinder, gentler kind of first-world nation, due to socialized medicine, a relatively open immigration policy, 19th century haven for travelers on the Underground Railroad, etc.  Oh yeah, and also the contrast of being next door neighbors to the world’s lone remaining superpower, y’know, the one who spends 600…
