"We are really looking forward to releasing this album. It started as a jam 3 years ago and next thing you know, it's a whole album! We are very proud of the work we did these past years.

Everything will be available soon on our facebook page, reverbnation and itunes. Until then, have a drink on us!!! Long live BRASS METAL" commented bassist Ben Forte.
Canadian hard punk rockers Kill Matilda are back with a vengeance, but this time it's not just Matilda they're after. Releasing their debut full-length, I Want Revenge, on October 11th and hitting the road on their Zombie Apocalypse Tour across Canada, Kill Matilda is on the hunt to find, capture and destroy zombies wreaking havoc across the land - it's a zombicide mission and no one's more equipped to carry it out than Kill Matilda. "This will be our biggest and most ambitious tour to date, in support of our best album to date, and we plan to commit zombicide in every major city across Canada while rocking out, drinking beers and saving beautiful women from the brain-eating living dead from coast to coast," comments bassist Mykel Exner. With their most powerful tools in hand - their music and live show - Kill Matilda is ready to set out, so the only question is: Which side are you on?

Vancouver's NINJASPY, an eclectic trio of brothers that blend influences of metal, ska, grunge, hardcore, reggae, funk, surf and jazz are proud to announce dates for their upcoming "NO KATA TOUR", which will see them venture across the Canadian provinces, kicking off the tour in Victoria, BC on August 19th and going east to return west on October 7th for a tour wrap up show in Vancouver, BC.
The band will be releasing their new "NO KATA" EP/ graphic novel in the coming fall, a follow up to their highly praised 2007 album "Pi Nature", produced by Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, RHCP, Mudvayne) and Ben Kaplan (Atreyu, Haste the Day, Shakira) that has sold over 2500 copies both independently and internationally.
"The NO KATA EP is a real game changer for us. Stylistically it stretches the boundaries of our genre mashing moniker, incorporating some of the most outlandish sounds we've ever thought up or accidentally stumbled upon in a creative process. It harmoniously weds all the elements of our musical adventures with a picturesque storybook that illustrates all the connections between music, dancing, martial arts and meditation that are the fundamental basis for Ninjaspy. "Ninjaspy no kata" in Japanese tranlates as "movements of Ninjaspy". This release is the Tao Teh Ching of throwing the skank down." commented Ninjaspy vocalist/ guitarist Joel Parent.
Over the last few years in promotion of "Pi Nature", the band has completed several headlining Canadian tours, appeared on The Warped Tour and Taste Of Chaos festivals, and shared the stage with bands like Protest the Hero, Coheed & Cambria, Thursday, Cancer Bats, Grimskunk, Death By Stereo, 3 Inches of Blood, Set Your Goals, Four Year Strong, Brutal Truth, Divinity, Bring Me The Horizon, Neuraxis, Pierce The Veil, Powerman 5000, The Dreadnoughts, & more.
In October 2009, Ninjaspy’s international foothold was strengthened when Zestone Records released "Pi Nature" across Japan and took Ninjaspy across the Pacific to tour Japan with Death By Stereo the following year.
Now the band returns in 2011 with a momentum to grasp audiences with high-energy and free-expression dance pit parties.

Octoberman will be releasing a brand new album featuring the talents of co-producer Jim Guthrie (Islands, Human Highway, Royal City) and appearances by members of FemBots, Two-Minute Miracles, Wilderness of Manitoba, and the expert mixing of Howie Beck (Hayden, Jason Collett) sometime this fall.
Their last album's song "Trapped in the New Scene" was featured on Prime Time TV Series "Grey's Anatomy". Praise from Pitchfork, Uncut and Now Magazine, appearing at the SXSW, Pop Montreal, Sled Island and CMJ festivals and extensively touring North America, UK and Europe.
Language-Arts have toured extensively around the west coast and across Canada, appearing on stages with artists such as Xavier Rudd, Portable Payback (Jurassic 5), You Say Party! and Bend Sinister. The band has appeared at festivals such as TD Atlantic Jazz festival, Halifax Pop Explosion, Sled Island, CMW, Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival and NXNE. Publications like Exclaim!, Now Magazine, The Chronicle Herald and the Vancouver Sun have been praising Language-Arts for their niche sound while they were spinning on stations like CBC Radio 3 and topping the charts at #26 on Earshot's monthly poll of Canada's campus and community radio stations. The songs themselves range from beckoning choruses with bright hooks to meandering, lyrical sagas. It's no secret that many of these songs began as dreams- insights poke out with subtle nuances, sparkling and inquisitive.
MonkeyJunk, the Ottawa-based practitioners of swamp R&B, soul boogie and bedroom funk will release their new albumTo Beholdon Stony Plain Records on Tuesday June 21 followed by the CD release show on Wednesday June 22 at Barrymore's Music Hall. WHO: MonkeyJunk with special guests Kelly Prescott and Anders Drerup WHAT: CD release party/concert WHERE: Barrymore's Music Hall 323 Bank St. Ottawa WHEN: Wednesday June 22 at 8pm(doors open at 7pm) TICKETS: $20 advance, $25 at the door; available online atworldfamousmusic.net and at both Compact Music locations - 785 Bank St. and 190 Bank St. Born out of a casual Sunday night gig at Irene's Pub starting in March 2008, this trio of Tony D, Steve Marriner and Matt Sobb have already collectively wonnineMaple Blues Awards and a Canadian Independent Music Award. They are only the second Canadian act in over 30 years to win a Blues Music Award (formerly know as the W.C. Handy Awards - awarded in the US). MonkeyJunk released their debut albumTiger In Your Tankindependently in April 2009 and has since toured extensively across Canada and has traveled twice to Europe to play shows. To Beholdwill be released on the stalwart roots music label Stony Plain Records in North America and DixieFrog records in Europe. Recorded at Signal Path Studios in Almonte, Ontario,To Beholdis a continuation of the fresh swamp R&B, soul boogie and bedroom funk sound created by their unique instrumentation and approach. To Behold was co-produced by Ken Friesen who has worked with the likes of The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, Great Big Sea and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. "You won't hear blues any more lowdown than the Fender Rhodes/Hammond B3 powered "Let Her Down". That song alone is reason enough to buy this album. These guys are real road dogs and favorites on the blues festival circuit. If you see that they are playing anywhere near you this summer, do yourself a favour and go see them! this disc is a serious contender for my blues album of the year." 5 stars - John Kereiff - RosslandRadio.com MonkeyJunk will be appearing at festivals, theatres and clubs across Canada and the US throughout 2011.
