Month: June 2008

Modern Boys and Modern Girls are just that – a bunch of young Toronto kids who happen to play fun music that makes you want to dance.  Today marks the release of their first full-length record I Might As Well Break It, an album that marks a departure from their scenester reputation by bridging elements of various other genres into their music. 

The Midway State believes in Karma. Rather than dining and dashing before their opening gig with OneRepublic on June 8 like they had joked, the four boys from Toronto patiently waited in line to pay for their meals. They soon discovered it was the right decision, in a weird twist, the cashier was named Karmen.

Thirty-years is a long time for anything, especially a career in music.  Canadian punk rockers DOA have managed to outlive the majority of punk and hardcore from the late 70s/early 80s, a testament to vocalist Joe “Shithead” Keithley’s passion, dedication and firmly grounded punk opinions.
