After a month of digging through the Distortion archives, we inevitably had to share a personal favourite as a part of our collaborative series. Check out the full set from Truro, Nova Scotia punks Genetic Angry during their visit to St. John’s in 2008.
For this weeks collaborative flashback, we turned our attention to the diverse slew of touring acts that have stopped by Distortion over the last decade. Relive Montréal’s nomadic one-man rockabilly act Bloodshot BIll during his visit for Lawnya Vawnya 2013.
Our favourite St. John’s psych surfstrumentalists offer a flipbook style music video for their track “Chipz & Pepsi”.
Check out two great selections from 2012 capturing the first live performance of Waterman & Milley, and head down to Distortion tonight to catch a personal slice of what the dyad is up to almost four years later.
In part 2 of our #TBT collaboration, we dip into the Distortion archive once again for some unreleased tracks from the final 2012 recording session of St. John’s trio The Drunks Rule This Place.
As Distortion in St. John’s prepares the launch of their new web platform, we decided to team up up on a #TBT series to feature some exclusive selections from a decade long archive of live Distortion recordings.
It has been several months of trudging through a hard drive’s worth of A/V captured at the six-act Double Feature variety show we threw back in the spring, but we’re finally ready to start rolling out some of the fine moments we grabbed from the evening.
St. John’s indie rock outfit Sleepy are the screaming whisper of local artists; that is to say their music falls somewhere between hooky indie and straight up garage pop. This week the band released a video for the track ‘Bahamas’ which appears on their 2015 release Asleep at the Switch.
Not only was Borealis Newfoundland & Labrador’s first recorded taste of hard rock and psychedelia, but their Sons of the Sea LP was also the first all-original album by any band from the province.
