The End.

As you can tell, we haven't been updating a whole lot in the last few months. I unfortunately don't have time to be doing as much with this blog as I had wanted to. 

It's been an awesome two years and I hope I was able to introduce you to at least one new band!  That being said, I am helping out with a new Canadian music blog called Canadian Beats. If you want to keep hearing about new Canadian music, check out the website or Facebook here.

SEPTEMBER: Keek

What was the first show you ever played and how many people were there?

The first show we played was at The Urbandale Center during the 67's game! 

What was the biggest show you ever played?

With Keek, the biggest show we've played was Canada Day in Kanata (6000-7000 people).

Who are your favorite bands to play shows with?

The New Cities and Down With Webster were great bands to share the stage with!

We also love playing in Ottawa with our buddies from The Working Class.

Do you do any cover songs in your set?

Not normally. However, we have played "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction, and "Summer Paradise" by Simple Plan!

Which songs usually get the best crowd reaction?

People seem to like the dance we do for "Just Because You're Beautiful". It aways gets a great reaction! 

Do you have any 'memorable fan moments'?

Seeing someone with a "Keek" inspired tattoo is a really awesome feeling. We've seen a few of them out there, and it really makes us feel like what we're doing is really reaching out to others. 

What do you think of social networking sites and promoting your music? (ex: Facebook/Twitter/MySpace/Bandcamp/Purevolume)

Social networking has been an awesome tool while promoting our music. It helps us reach fans all over the world, and gives them a deeper look into Keek, and what we're all about.

Who do you consider to be your main influences?

Life. Life is my main influence. When it comes to songwriting, everyday situations help influence ideas for lyrics. Also, the support we get from friends and family recently has really influenced us to push harder, and get out music out there to reach more fans!

What was your first concert?

My first concert I can remember was either Alanis Morrisette, or The Backstreet Boys. It also may have been Usher and Janet Jackson! - Conor

My first show was Smashing Pumpkins and Our Lady Peace - Matt

What was the first CD you remember buying?

I believe the first CD I bought was "Tragic Kingdom" by No Doubt! I didn't own a cd player, but I would bring it in the car everywhere my parents drove me.

The first CD I bought was a Good Charlotte album. I felt like a badass - Willy.

What was the last CD you bought?

The last CD I bought was "Femme Fatale" by Britney Spears, and "Up All Night" by One Direction! Somehow both these CD's have been passed around by all the guys in Keek!!

What is your favorite song?

My personal favorite would have to be..."A Day In The Life" by The Beatles. However, I'm really digging that new song by Fun: "Some Nights". - Conor

My favorite song right now is "My Heart Will Go On"  - Willy

Since we're a blog all about Canadian music, who are some of your favorite Canadian bands/singers?

- NICKELBACK 

- Justin Bieber

- Hedley

- Simple Plan

- Blue Rodeo

- Neil Young

- Drake

- Alexisonfire

AUGUST: The Red Threat

We are now going to be having monthly features instead of bi-weekly. Our very first month long feature omes to us from The Red Threat (Evan did the interview if anyones wondering). Be sure to check them out at the links below and catch them on tour now with Brighter Brightest.

What was the first show you ever played and how many people were there? Our first show was at a venue in Edmonton called Avenue Theater (a venue we now call our home). We were a last minute addition to the show and there must have been like 20 people max there. To be honest, it was so nerve racking we don't really remember much of it. What was the biggest show you ever played? We played with the Barenaked Ladies once in front of a crowd of 5000. That show was incredibly rewarding and it was really cool picking those guys' brains about music. Who are your favorite bands to play shows with? Ten Second Epic always holds a special place in our hearts because for many of us, they were the first Edmonton band we got into. Personally, my interest in them at a young age was a driving force to kick start me into wanting to play in bands. We toured with them in April, and it was a definite highlight. Right now we are also on tour with Brighter Brightest and those guys are incredibly rad. They are such pro musicians and we've had some killer hangouts on this tour. Do you do any cover songs in your set? We've done cover songs before, but it really depends on the tour. We played "Dreaming" by Boys Night Out for a long time but we've also tackled bands like Jimmy Eat World. We all listen to such a huge variety of music so sometimes deciding on a cover song is just as challenging as writing a new track of our own. Which songs usually get the best crowd reaction? Again, this really depends on the show, the crowd, the energy in the room, the other bands we are playing with etc. We treat our live set like a story - it can't stand alone without all the elements fitting together to form a cohesive unit. In that sense, every song is important to what we try and accomplish live. Do you have any 'memorable fan moments'? We've had a few really good heart-to-hearts with fans about how our music has helped them get out of seemingly dark and hopeless places in their lives. The most rewarding thing our music has ever achieved for us is knowing it's been there for someone else as much as it's been there for us. What do you think of social networking sites and promoting your music? (ex: Facebook/Twitter/MySpace/Bandcamp/Purevolume) Social networking is a necessary beast in this day and age. As much work as it is, it really helps us keep in touch with our audience and let everyone know what we are up to. We tend not to censor ourselves much... our band is somewhat of an open book and we want others to share in that exact same experience. A big plus is the ability to share our music through so many different platforms to so many different people. That being said, I would caution bands to avoid using this a measure of success. It's important to organically grow your online presence to stay relevant and in touch, but this is a long and slow process that is earned through hard work, playing lots of shows, and meeting people first hand. Having 20000 facebook "likes" means absolutely nothing if you can't translate that into a real and tangible audience. Who do you consider to be your main influences? Musically, everything. I truly mean it when I say that there is no style of music we don't listen to... even a "bad" song serves a purpose when gathering ideas and knowledge to use for our own songwriting. Bands like Thrice, Periphery, and Alexisonfire are all ubiquitously appreciated within the band, but that extends beyond even the music they make. Many times we will be influenced by not only the music of a band, but by their work ethic (like Ten Second Epic and Brighter Brightest for example.) What was your first concert? I went and saw Sum 41 when I was about 12 or 13 and I remember just losing my mind. I got the concert bug after that and haven't stopped since. I remember being in the mosh pit when it started and being blown away at how aggressive it was. Some guy was passing around a joint and I ran away. What was the first CD you remember buying? I honestly can't remember. It was likely a Sum 41 or Treble Charger CD. What was the last CD you bought? I buy all my music on vinyl now because downloads are so easy to come by. The last records I bought were "The Shape of Punk to Come" by Refused, "Holy Shit" by living with lions, and "Voltari" by Sigur Ros. What is your favorite song? It's a close tie between hallelujah and wild horses. Since we're a blog all about Canadian music, who are some of your favorite Canadian bands/singers? Living with Lions, Comeback Kid, Ten Second Epic, Counterparts, TheSet, Cadence Weapon, Shad, Great Bloomers, Big Wreck. Joni Mitchell, Alexisonfire, Boys Night Out. That being said, any band struggling to make a name for themselves by touring Canada instantly has my respect.

Check them out on the Tourlympics with Brighter Brightest at the following dates:

Colour Color just posted a live video of their new single "Leaving This State". Definitely take a listen to this track!

[fyeahcanadianbands]

Sorry we haven't posted a lot lately. In the past month I graduated, moved and have been looking for a job so I haven't had much time to focus on this. 

I am looking to do some new things with this blog though. 

How do you guys feel about keeping features up for a month instead of two weeks? Most of them have been staying up that long unintentionally.

Any bands you want to see featured? Signed, unsigned, anything. I'm gonna try to be getting some bigger name bands on here too which will hopefully help with traffic therefore we'll be getting more suggestions for other bands!

I'm open to suggestions for anything to do with this blog! And don't forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. We're super close to 100 likes on Facebook and we'd love to get over that!

Ten Second Epic's new music video for Runaway features shots from their Japan tour in January 2012. 

I can't get over how many people they play to in Japan. I saw them in St. John's in October and the place was no where near this size.

Up & Coming Hitmakers - Canadian Compilation‏

We received an email about a really cool compilation of Canadian music. It's a series of East Coast vs. West Coast, with the first coming from the East Coast. It features bands such as our previous feature, Aria, and other bands and artists like Andrew Hyatt, SayWeCanFly, Colour Colour, Friday Night Trend, Hartford and more! You should definitely check it out. 

You can find the track listing and more information about it below

If your from the west coast and want to be included in the next instalment you can email [email protected]  Or if you want to be in the next east coast instalment you can email [email protected] 

http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/up-coming-hitmakers-round/id537715790‏

The all-Canadian compilation series "Up & Coming Hitmakers" is the first of its kind to unite the alternative pop underground from across the nation.  The series features East Coast vs. West Coast with the first instalment being titled "Round 1: East". The album features artists from St. Catharines, Ontario to Charlottetown, PEI, with different genres ranging from acoustic singer/songwriters to progressive rock. Together, these 16 artists have strong sales in both the commercial and direct-to-fan arenas. Featuring producers who have worked with some of the best bands in the genre such as Simple Plan (Luc Tellier), Liferuiner (Derek Hoffman), The Early November (Ace Enders), and The Maine (Matt Grabe), these bands are not to be taken lightly. Their singles have been heard on the radio, and their videos have been seen on MuchMusic. They have toured the continent and played for excited fans. They have been featured on hit television series' such as The Secret Circle (Fairview), Degrassi: The Next Generation (Final Thought), and MuchMusic's hit reality series Disband/Discovered (Above All Else). They (Andrew Hyatt) have been featured in Coca-Cola cover contests and done much more in their short careers. Drawing from albums produced in Montreal, Toronto, New Jersey, and as far away as Arizona, with over 20,000 independent unit sales, this compilation brings the artists' content to the masses, driving exponential growth to their fan-bases. With this neat bundle of content, the consumer gets a taste of some of the newest, and hottest talent to come out of the North East's metropolitan cultural meccas. The compilation is about bringing a community together, team building, and uniting our strengths across this great country. We are sharing our passion with the world.

June 20th - July 3rd: RocketRocketShip

Anyone who knows me was probably wondering why I went through a whole year (that's right! We started doing features on June 1st of 2011!) without featuring these guys. The plan was to feature them sometime last year and we were gonna switch it up and everything but clearly that didn't happen. So originally, I had my friend Victoria ask bassist, Dave Shears, a few questions so that I could actually feature them in my magazine for a class project and then I said that I would post it as a feature on here at the same time as the album release. 

RocketRocketShip's full length album, Your Best Kept Secret, is now out on iTunes and hard copies will be available at shows soon. I suggest you pick it up and take a listen, I may be biased but I think it's awesome, and fun fact: I did the album art/layout for it!

(This is a bit different from our regular features because like I said, I originally used it for a magazine project. It was also done back in March or so, but I don't think any questions are affected by that.)

FYCB: Hi, Dave! So, how was RocketRocketShip formed?

Dave Shears:  Paul and I have been playing music together since we were 15. We used to have a hardcore band on the west coast of NL called "The Waterford Project". When that band broke up, we decided to move to St. John's and start something fresh. Which is when RRS essentially started. We then did up 15 demo songs we recorded in Paul's basement, and posted em online with ads looking for a guitarist and drummer.

FYCB: You have your first full length album being released in late April, correct? What was the songwriting and recording process like?

Shears:  It was definitely a learning process. It was our first taste of what it's like to have deadlines when writing. At times it was admittedly stressful, but in the end we all made a record that we're really proud of and we can't wait to release.

FYCB: How do your new songs differ from the older material from your EPs? Has the band developed much since then?

Shears: Our new music is much more dynamic than [the] stuff from the old EP. We've learned a lot about adding little things that make a big difference. Our EP was very raw and basic, whereas this new album is well layered. I think more than ever too the band is working really well together. Before it used to be, "Learn each other's songs" but now it's more, "work on songs together". Not to mention of course we changed guitarists since the EP and you can really hear the influence Bryce has had joining the band.

FYCB: Right, how did Bryce end up joining the band?

Shears: Well our guitarist at the time moved out of town, so funny enough I posted an ad on Kijiji that we were looking for a guitarist. And if you know Bryce Smith, when everyone else our age are scanning through Facebook, that guy is doing the same on Kijiji. So we had him come out for an audition, and like a month later we toured with The Playdates with him, and everybody just got along really well on that road trip.

FYCB: And what are some other notable bands you've toured with?

Shears: The only two bands we've TOURED with are The Playdates and These Kids Wear Crowns. All the other tours we've done we flew solo. But we've played with some big acts like Marianas Trench, Lil Jon, Bam Margera, Girlicious, and Jay Sean.

FYCB: You've done a show with Ten Second Epic as well, right? What was it like playing with bands like Marianas Trench and Ten Second Epic? And the others, of course.

Shears: Ah yes, we did play with Ten Second Epic too back in October. All the bands we've played with have been absolutely fantastic. And I can't really comment much on Marianas Trench because we never actually got to meet them, since that was at a festival and it was a very busy day. But, both Ten Second Epic and These Kids Wear Crowns were two bands that helped us a lot. We got to sit down with a couple guys in TSE at that show and just chat about recording and what we need to do as a band. And I can't even start to explain how much we learned on that week with TKWC. That was a huge eye opener for us regarding what we're doing right, what we're doing wrong, and what we need to do in the future. Another band that we had a lot of fun opening for and got to chat music with was The Novaks.

FYCB: Any plans for the band's near future? Any big shows or notable tours?

Shears: Haha. We have something very big planned for this summer, that's all I can say right now. But it will be the biggest summer for us to date.

FYCB: Oh, interesting! So, back to your upcoming album. Is there any sort of message the band is hoping to get across to your fans through the album?

Shears: I think the message we try the most to get across is to enjoy life and have fun. This album is more of a thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past 3 years. When we first started jamming we never imagined we'd ever get the chance to do the things we've done. RocketRocketShip is all about reaching for the stars, as cliché as that may sound. The single off the album "Back Where I Belong" really sums up our musical career, and we hope it can have some meaning to other people who listen to it. Over the past while we've faced tons of adversity and had lots of people look at us and say we couldn't accomplish our goals, but we've never given up and that's what this album is all about. As the song states "Well I hope fate still owes me one, cause my heart it weighs a tonne, but I'm not giving up... So wake me up, I think I'm dreaming, think I'm dreaming again. We've had enough, we're standing tall 'cause we don't break when we bend. Back, back, back, back where I belong"

FYCB: Awesome. Well, thanks so much for your time, Dave. Is there anything else you'd like to add before signing off?

Shears: Thank you for the interview! And I guess all I wanna add is make sure you check us out on Facebook and Twitter. And keep on the lookout for new stuff from RRS. In my opinion we've only just begun to discover what kind of band we really are and we're working day and night on improving that. Planning lots of cool stuff for the near future! Xo!

June 6th - June 19th: Colfax

I'm a bit late posting this up, sorry! But Brock from Colfax got back to me really really quickly with this so that I would have someone to feature this week, which is so awesome! Check these guys out, they're from Brockville, ON.

What was the first show you ever played and how many people were there?

  The first show Colfax ever played was at a Valentine's Day dance. It was a gym full of kids who wanted to get their grind and slow dance on, rather than rock out or even pay attention to what was happening onstage, so we kind of ruined the day for everyone.

What was the biggest show you ever played?

Our last show of our first cross-Canada tour was in Cobourg, and there was easily 900 kids there. At the time, we were sneaking in a quick but faithful cover of "Raining Blood" in the middle of the last song of our set, and I saw 3 simultaneous mosh pits during that part. That being said, "big" or well-attended shows don't always have a direct correlation with how much fun we have during our performance. What's better than getting intimate?

Who are your favorite bands to play shows with?

  Lambs Become Lions are great to play with, as well as Color Colour. All music aside, those bands have great attitudes and share a lot of our philosophies about the modern music industry.

Do you do any cover songs in your set?

We've covered bands from Iron Maiden to The Bee Gees, as well as Ginuwine and Oasis. It's fun to mess with the original songs and present them in new or unexpected ways. With the kind of reaction covers get from audiences in general, I think it's easy for some bands to play cover songs as they we were written, with no intention of adding their creative spin. We personally enjoy the challenge of reworking the original.

Which songs usually get the best crowd reaction?

It really does depend on who we're playing with. Some audiences may not be familiar with straight-up rock n' roll and will be drawn to the polar opposites of our set; the slow jams or the mosh tracks. Our set lends itself to high energy and loud noise, though, so those who are not intent on standing still with their arms crossed are those who tend to dig our set front-to-back.

Do you have any 'memorable fan moments'?

One of the biggest believers in our band, Mayganne, has got two tattoo's worth of Colfax lyrics, which is very humbling. One time, somebody in New Brunswick asked me to sign his squirrel, and he took it out of his pocket quicker than I could comprehend what was going on.

What do you think of social networking sites and promoting your music? (ex: Facebook/Twitter/MySpace/Bandcamp/Purevolume)

We prefer to use those websites strictly as tools and ways of staying connected, but the popularity games and cheap marketing tactics many bands play on them just leave a sour taste in our mouths. Maybe I'm just old school, but I believe that if your music is truly any good your fans will handle all the promotion of your music for you and feel compelled to tell somebody about it. We all do it, posting statuses or links to videos we enjoy. This is just a guess, but Foo Fighters aren't begging for retweets and "follow fridays" before their new albums are released. If you're good and whatever you have to say makes believers out of strangers, you're doing it right. Everything else seems like nothing more than desperate interruptions in the conversation of life.

  Who do you consider to be your main influences?

The guys and I mostly listen to heavier rock music and bands from the 90's. He is Legend, Queens of the Stone Age, Rage Against the Machine and Pantera are vital pieces of my musical background. I know Kenny is a big KISS fan, and Ian really digs Matthew Good. And Dan, he just bleeds blue. Buddy Guy is definitely his go-to.

What was your first concert?

I saw Sum 41 when I was in Grade 6. It was my first mosh pit, too. I don't know how I survived since I was so short and dorky looking and everyone else around me were these try-hard crust punks who were there to see the headliner, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

What was the first CD you remember buying?

Oh man, it was something like LFO or Smash Mouth, something totally lame like that. I was a victim of the "overplayed single leads to buying overpriced full album" epidemic of the late 90's. Nowadays, I host self-help clinics for other surivors of those crippling marketing schemes. We call them "Colfax shows".

May 23rd - June 5th: Aria

What was the first show you ever played and how many people were there?

The first show we ever played was in Buffalo at Xtreme Wheels. We played with a bunch of local bands and there were about 200 people there.

What was the biggest show you ever played? The biggest show we ever played was probably SCENE Festival in St. Catharines last year. 

Who are your favorite bands to play shows with?

Back in January we went on tour with our hometown friends Lambs Become Lions and it was one of the most fun experiences we've had as a band.  They are all really cool guys and they put on a great live show.  

Do you do any cover songs in your set?

We currently play a cover version of ET by Katy Perry however we're talking about learning a new one! We've yet to decide which one 

Which songs usually get the best crowd reaction?

Well ET usually gets a good response because everybody knows it but Escaping the Transience and Your Underling are also songs that we see the most energy from the crowd.  The response to our new song Purgatory that we just released (with a music video) has also been great the few times we've played it live so we're really excited to play that one some more now that people are familiar with it!

Do you have any 'memorable fan moments'?

We've had many great fan moments.  Nothing too crazy but it's things like seeing people sing along, or come up to us after the show and talk to us or come out to see us from far away, taking pictures and signing things for them that's always the highlight of playing shows. 

What do you think of social networking sites and promoting your music? (ex: Facebook/Twitter/MySpace/Bandcamp/Purevolume)

Whether you like it or not, social networking is a big part of the music industry and it's not going away.  The traditional methods are still important but nowadays you can't expect to be a successful band without a strong online presence.  Social networks have basically changed and shaped what the music industry is today.  It's no longer just about the music, it's about the total experience -   content and interacting with fans via the internet. Social networks are a great way for fans to connect with the bands they like and we embrace that. It also serves as a great tool to share media like photos, videos and music and reach out to new fans all over the world.  We all try to stay as active with facebook/twitter etc as possible because it could mean the difference between one fan or many, you just never know.

Who do you consider to be your main influences?

We all come from different musical backgrounds and have such a wide and diverse musical taste that it is hard to narrow it down.  A few bands I think we all like are bands like Lydia, Circa Survive, Paramore, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco but those are only a very select few! We have harder influences, poppy influences, classical influences, musical theatre influences etc. Music is a huge spectrum and we take from all of it!

What was your first concert?

Nick: I remember when I was about 5 or 6 my parents took me to a Jimmy Buffet concert!  My dad was (and still is) obsessed with his music.  I remember sitting outside on the grass, watching him perform and watching all of these people sing and dance along.  At the time I was thinking "wow this guy is cool!"

Malcolm: Rush Bianca: When I was 9-years-old I went to see Sum 41 and Goldfinger. But I wasn't allowed in the pit :P

What was the first CD you remember buying? 

Nick: I can't say i remember but one of the first CD's i bought that i know i really liked was Big Shiny Tunes 5.  So many timeless songs on that cd.  I could probably listen to that CD today and still love it

Malcolm : Good Charlotte: Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous Bianca: I'm pretty sure it was Aqua. I can't remember if I had it on cassette tape or CD lol!

What was the last CD you bought?

Nick: I think the last CD I bought was Right For Me by Brighter Brightest at their last show here in St Catharines.  i like supporting independent music and they are a great band

Malcolm: Underoath- Disambiguation Bianca: Lovedrug - Wildblood

What is your favorite song?

Bianca: Down Towards the Healing - Lovedrug

Nick: Too many to name

Malcolm: also too many to name

Since we're a blog all about Canadian music, who are some of your favorite Canadian bands/singers?

A few that come to mind are Marianas Trench, Lights, Sum 41, Silverstein, Ten Second Epic, Alexisonfire, City and Colour and honestly overplayed or not, how can you not like Carly Rae Jepsen?  

We'd like to thank you for doing this and thank all of the fans for your continued support!  For those of you who haven't heard of us please check out our music on our facebook page or buy it on itunes!  We just released our second ever music video for our newest single "Purgatory" which can be found on our youtube channel.  We will be releasing our full length CD on July 17th available worldwide on itunes!  We've got alot more exciting news coming up that we unfrotunately cannot share at this time but please keep up to date with us on our facebook and twitter pages!  Keep tweeting at us and posting on our wall etc because we love hearing from you guys!
