These articles brought forth are for a few different reasons:
1. It is relevant music information that pertains to you as a reader, no matter the level of intent or the genre.
2. They are relevant to the music I would be currently listening to or a genre I have put some attention and focus on.
3. I am somewhat patriotic about my Canadian music, so that always comes as a first for me. I enjoy music from all parts of the world respectively, but I still have to promote local if I can. Canadian music rocks!
4. Because it's humourous and we can ALWAYS use a good laugh. Rarely will it be at someone's expense...but then again I am just the guy talking about it. They're the ones causing the comments.
So in closing, I trust you all will not read EVERY single article posted here. But I hope you find something of use here and keep the conversation going by forwarding it onto someone else. Click on each article heading for redirection to the full article. Cheers!

DANKO JONES On The Road - "No Matter How Shit It Can Be, It's Still The Greatest Job In The World":
"As much as I've seen the road unravel people and reduce them to shells of their former selves, I try not to romanticize the harshness it sometimes brings. Nobody back home will sympathize with your plight mainly because of what they've already seen in Bon Jovi videos. Plus, no matter how shit it can be, it's still the greatest job in the world."

Rise Against Find Their Punk Path in 'Like the Angel':
"While politics play an unapologetic role in what we do, they do not consume our entire artistic output. 'Like the Angel' is an early example of the kind of songs that found their ways onto all of our records, and how we've always had one foot in politics and one foot in the personal. We loved heavy music but also songs that had a poppy or hooky side to them." -Tim McIlrath

Oh, Sleeper Officially Surpass Their Crowdfunding Goal For New EP And Touring Costs:
"This new concept is about a campaign (Titan) that is taking over the world, town by town, offering synthetic upgrades (mechanical hearts, eyes, lungs, limbs) in exchange for time served in their service. Every upgrade costs a time commitment (contract) where you must do the bidding of Titan. The idea is that anything is possible, if you want to be a doctor and don’t want to work for it, you can get a skill download from Titan with a brain augmentation and have it instantly, the only cost is that you are now apart of Titan until your time-debt has been paid. You want to be a marathon runner, get new legs, ect… the catch is that these upgrades need servicing and the only people who can service them are the Titan technicians, the only currencies accepted are time-contracts. The older you are, the less time you have to spend. If you have a debt when you die, it transfers to your next of kin (spouse, parents, children)."
