No Trigger and Such Gold announce Australian tour
No Trigger have never been a band to rush things. After releasing their first full-length album “Canyoneer” back in 2006 to widespread acclaim from both critics and fans, the band seemingly dropped off the map, and rumours quickly began to spread that the band had broken up. Luckily, as with most rumours, this was far from the case. 2010 see’s the band’s original lineup back together, and delivering their first release in over four years. The new 7” entitled Be Honest, released through Mightier Than Sword Records, shows a band who’ve lost none of the passionate lyrics, stick-in-your-head melodies and sing/shout/scream-along choruses that once saw them declared "the best unsigned band in America" by Punknews.org. 2011 will see No Trigger head back into the studio to record their second full length album, and follow up to “Canyoneer.” Before that happens though, they’ll be making a long awaited visit to our shores for their first ever Australian Tour.

People are becoming aware that for hundreds of years, certain truths have been hidden from the masses, either by the Church, or by certain institutions which do not want us to know these secrets,” explained lead singer, Jahred Gomes. “‘Truth Rising’ is our way of saying that nothing can stop the evolution of ...

Electro Quarterstaff complete new album
Canada's Electro Quarterstaff have completed work on their new album, entitled Aykroyd. Guitarist Drew Johnston offers his comments: "It may take us three years to write a record, but better late than never, right? Our Aykroyd album is a 40 minute extract of musical punchlines that have been cracking us up in our jam space for the last three years as a supercharged quintet since the addition of our bassosaurus, Marty Thiessen. A guru of jazz funk hipcheck beatdowns, Marty furnishes the band with a luxurious layer of global warming which allows the trinity of rusty corkscrewed guitars to explore serpent coiled passageways and renegade escape routes through the dark halls of bittersweet harmony and dissonance. "The greatest difference between Aykroyd and Gretzky is the emphasis we've placed on blackened comedy in the attitude of our music. Strategic blast beat proton bombardment punctuates chipmunk cheeks full of hangnail shaped riffs which spontaneously arrange themselves into cosm...
