Vilipend

With their Northern Hostility and Love Left To Rot eps behind them, Vilipend are busy working on a third installment of 3 songs with rumors of a potential 7" to be the format. At only a year and a half since birth, Vilipend is maturing rapidly into a fantastic writing/ ripping machine. The bands live set of artful, metal influenced, dirgy punk is highly energized, always delivered with heart and precision, even when the crowd is flying into the drums.

Summer looks to be busy for Vilipend with some hot tours lined up. You'll be able to catch them on the Lords and Ken Mode, Ontario/ Quebec legs.

Japanese Beaver Are Canadian's

When I was 5 or so I took a trip with my then heart-throb Tara Mckay and her folks to Bracebridge, Ontario to go visit Santa Clause in the dead of summer. Bracebridge is the home of tyke, tourist destination Santa's Village, and dual bass, zero guitar, trio, Japanese Beaver Are Canadian's.

Jordan [drums and vocals], Lee [distorted bass and vocals], and Sean [clean bass], play a style reminiscent of Maximillian Colby cept sans guitar and with a modern slant. Inventive, emotive, dynamic dual bass, do-it-yourself, hardcore. In addition, the Beaver has a crafty sense of humor that runs throughout it's material and activities being particularly evident in the band's Youtube videos.

Japanese Beaver Are Comedians is the name of the band's video skit series and this here author is hooked on them. Not the kind of thing that you see many bands of any genre doing. The Beaver delivers a lot more than hot jams and does so quite honestly, placing great emphasis on fun.

Recently, JBAC has become involved with Pattern Behavior Records. Their 2009 Beards and Bass EP is posted on the Pattern Behavior Records Myspace for Free Download.
