Not a lot you can learn from the Facebook page of Lust, save that they're "A band from Toronto", and their preferred genre is "Fuzz". Peel back a layer or two, and you'll find that one of the prime movers behind Lust is Scott Downes, one of the primary members of Iris, who blew the doors off last year with "Fix Me" and "Ragdoll". But this isn't that. What is […]
Plaintive lead lines played over crunchy power chords. Cavernous male/female tandem vocals. Carefully crafted soft/loud dynamics. Hints of heartbreak and loss. We first heard the debut single "Spin The Room" from Reverse at the end of April, plugged it into New Tracks Weekend, and it graduated to regular rotation only two weeks after. Texas' Reverse are making a BIG sound that transcends any "regional" tags. While some comparisons could be […]

Nothing are set to break out big, folks. The album Guilty of Everything is set to drop March 4 in North America, and right around that time in other countries via Relapse Records. They've built up a large and loyal following by doing it the good old fashioned way: touring, touring, hard work, talent, and more touring. Most recently you may have seen them in your neck of the woods […]
