Zero Mass

Friday, April 27th, 2007


Zero Mass was founded in 2002 by Matt Poland & others. After a year long struggle, according to their Myspace Page , they regained control of their band in 2004 and Zero Mass was formed. An additional band member was added in 2005, but again, the band was found to be a solo act after [...]

Social Distortion in Vancouver B.C.

Saturday, April 21st, 2007


Let me start off by bringing you up to speed. I found out several weeks ago that Social Distortion was coming to Vancouver to play the Commodore Ballroom on April 16th. I later found out that they added a second show. However, as soon as I heard about the first show, I ran inside and [...]

Ours To Destroy – Review

Thursday, April 19th, 2007


Ours To Destroy describe themselves as an “anarchist folk abstract”. In fact on their website, they reach out for fan participation in classifying their genre, as well as contributing to their next album. I was actually quite impressed with their website, even though I’m supposed to be reviewing their music.
Keeping in mind that this band [...]

Wireless

Friday, April 13th, 2007


Going over Wireless’ myspace page, the first sense was of a band that wants to rock out, wants to MAKE IT. After a cursory listen I felt like the best option in reviewing Wireless would be to enlist the aid of my 14 year old daughter. She patiently listened, and told me she’d like them [...]

Vent

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007


You know that cover band that plays every Thursday night at that bar down the street from you? The one that just can’t let you possibly get through the night without hearing their overly enthusiastic take on “Brown Eyed Girl” or “Hotel California”? The kind of band that have obviously spent a lot of time [...]

Annunaki – Review

Monday, April 2nd, 2007


The Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunnaku, Ananaki) are a group of Sumerian and Akkadian deities related to, and in some cases overlapping with, the Annuna (the ‘Fifty Great Gods’) and the Igigi (minor gods). The name is variously written “da-nuna”, “da-nuna-ke4-ne”, or “da-nun-na”, meaning something to the effect of ‘those of royal blood’[1] or ‘princely [...]
