Last October, we got the chance to speak with Jonah from Toronto's Fucked Up. Since then, their album, David Comes to Life, was named the best album of 2011 by Spin Magazine. We got a chance to speak with Jonah about the band's origins, projects, as well as dealing with newfound notoriety.
Bonjay is a Dancehall duo currently based in Toronto who rocked the Seahorse when they came here in October for HPX. Hit the jump for photos of their epic set, as well as an in depth interview regarding their Ottawa beginnings, the place of Dancehall music, and reflections on songwriting and the Canadian identity.
Just before their sold-out set at the Halifax Pop Explosion, The New Halifax's Becca Logan met with Matt King and Thomas Del Balso from DD/MM/YY to talk about their concluding tour.
The typical Halifax weather of unpredictable mist to rain conditions of Thursday night made the Olympic Community Centre even more so of a warm, inviting place to enter. The Olympic Community Centre was a perfect place for a large crowd of music-lovers to sing and dance along to the music of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Quiver, Quaker Parents, and Repartee.
Saturday night was the last night of the Halifax Pop Explosion, and it was a great one. In one night, I was able to see three great Canadian bands: PS I Love You, Fucked Up, and Chad VanGaalen.
