Returning From The Hiatus...For Now

Alright folks,

Too long have I been away from my keyboard and not able to really think of something to write about.  Unfortunately, writer's block sunk in when moving across the country.  I guess that's a pretty decent excuse, if any.  However, the one nice factor about a long drive such as that gives me the opportunity to check out some new tunes, and scan the local radio whenever we hit major cities (Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, etc.).

I found the radio at times was starting to get stale.  Not meaning to knock the local radio stations, but it just so happened that each time we turned to a new rock station, they seemed to be playing the same thing.  I guess when you're on the road for 5 days, it's bound to happen.  But luckily, my girlfriend Alli snagged an auxiliary cable at a truck stop.  Finally, some tunes we wanted to hear!

So that being said, here are a few of the artists we were driving cross country to.  Not sure if you'll enjoy the odd tastes, but it made for an enjoyable trip.  Now, looking forward to all the local shows, local bands, and the YYC music scene in general.

Sons of the Sea - Come Together:




P.O.D. - This Goes Out To You:




Nothing More - Jenny:




Wilson - Right To Rise:




Northlane - Impulse:




Silent Planet – firstwake:




We Butter The Bread With Butter - Ich mach was mit Medien:



If any of you folks are doing some long trip (first off, I hope you have more than just radio, and cruise control. haha), I suggest you get the chance to make your own playlists as well.  I know for a fact that some tracks perked me right up throughout the day, and gave me my second when on the road for 7-8+ hours.  Cheers!

PS - I doubt at this point I will be able to post on a daily basis, but I do intend to start composing some great news, sharing videos, doing more interviews, talking about the YYC music scene, and of course live performances.  Thanks again!
