November 15th 2022 at History in Toronto was the night that Nickelback rose from hibernation since 2019! And boy was Toronto ready for them! Bringing all the hits and a few new ones too like “San Quentin”, “Those Days”, “High Time” and of course “Burn It To The Ground”, “How You Remind Me”, “Someday”, “Rockstar”, “Photograph” and loads of others. The Canadian boys from Hanna Alberta, who formed in 1995 showed everyone in the house how to get their faces rocked off! Yes they still have it.

Osyron: New Wave Of Prog Metal
These days there is a lot of new music being released and it’s becoming harder to stand above the noise. A new form of metal is also being created, part symphonic, part thrash, part power and a huge dash of NWOBHM thrown in for good measure. Well up on this list is Osyron.
Trinity Of Terror Tour Sold Out Show at Kemba Live!
The highly anticipated Trinity Of Terror Tour featuring Black Veil Brides, Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White and Atreyu rolled into Columbus, Ohio on Friday night for a Sold Out show at Kemba Live! in Columbus, Ohio.
The venue was jam packed and tough to navigate early on due to the long merch lines. The line-up was simply amazing! This particular show was a part of Radio Station 99.7 The Blitz’s 30th Anniversary Concert Series. Popular Radio Personality Ronni Hunter went on to announce each band before they took to the stage and was greeted with cheers from the audience.

PHOTOS: Animals As Leaders, Car Bomb and Alluvial conquer Vancouver
Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom hosted a night of immense musical prowess on Wednesday, October 26th, welcoming American acts; Animals As Leaders, Car Bomb and Alluvial.
While these acts may sound like an odd pairing to some, they could not be better suited to share the stage together, as they all share one important ingredient – incredible instrumentation.
From the intricate terrain of Animals As Leaders’ progressive and stunning landscapes to the mind-boggling heaviness of Car Bomb’s musical mathematics, all supported by the cavernous complexities of Alluvial – this bill was one for fans of metal mastery.

Kingston Gets Some Northern Happiness!
What do you get when The Northern Pikes and The Pursuit Of Happiness get together? You get the Northern Happiness Tour and they rolled through Kingston last night at The Grand Theatre.
34 years ago, The Northern Pikes started their journey together. Over the years there have been a couple of personnel changes, but they have remained pretty much intact since the mid eighties with the exception of adding Kevin Kane to the lineup on guitar and vocals.

The Pikes are one of those bands who I think you have to see live to appreciate. With hits like She Ain’t Pretty or Girl With A Problem, we’ve heard them before but until you hear them play live I don’t think you get the idea of just how hard these guys rock. This is no light weight band, they rock with the best of them!
The band resurrected their recording career in 2019 after 16 years with the release of Forest of Love after Kevin Kane joined and it seemed to breathe new life into the Pikes. Another new album was in the works but had to be sidelined with travel and COVID restrictions during the pandemic, I’m sure this project will be available soon for fans.

After a short intermission, we were treated to a performance by The Pursuit of Happiness, another great Canadian Band from about the same era. Moe Berg and company are always a good time and their anthem I’m An Adult Now is remembered by all rock’n’roll fans who also remember the mid eighties. The band has obviously gone through changes but have had a stable lineup since 1997 when singer Renee Suchy joined.
When you see a band like The Pursuit Of Happiness, it is partially nostalgic, you hear those old songs and it brings unlocks memories of different times in your life. It was the glory days of MuchMusic and that video we all remember of a young Moe Berg proclaiming to be an adult now.

The current lineup of the band are amazing in their own right. Moe and drummer Dave Gilby are the only remaining original members but Kingston’s own Kris Abbott was a popular attraction at last night’s performance for sure. Her guitar and singing talents did not go unnoticed. The other singer in the show was Renee Suchy, with a voice of an angel. Rounding out the lineup was bassist Brad Barker doing a tremendous job as well.
This tour was a great idea. Two bands from a similar era in Canadian rock music on one bill like this works very well. It was a night for people to reminisce over some songs they may not have heard in a long time, hear some new stuff and just have a good time again. We needed that.
