Toronto-based rock band Zeus have been racking up acclaim for their third album, Busting Visions . Esquire went as far as to say they’re “as fun as 21st century classic rock gets.” We asked Carlin Nicholson and Neil Quin about Busting Visions, their all-powerful band name, their approach to songwriting and more. Carlin Nicholson: What’s the story behind the band name? We had recorded many songs before we even really knew we were a band. A friend of ours – Peter Elkas – asked us if we’d like to play a show with him. We had no name. Mike stammered his way to Zeus and so it was. We would make reference to many silly things through word games in the studio as in: “Sounds like juice, sounds like Zeus’ juices…sounds like ZEUS.” How does the songwriting process work in the band? It’s a bit different for every dude how the song actually comes in, what stage it’s in at that time, etc.

  • Women and Rock Music1
    Atlantis Vol. 10 No. 1 Fall/ Automne 1984 Women and Rock Music1 Deborah Harding New Zealand and Emily Nett The University of Manitoba ABSTRACT Rock music is the most misogynistic and aggressive form of music currently listened to. Women's place in it since the 1950's is described and analyzed in this article. Rock music was originally a working-class male challenge to the established symbolic order. In terms of the revenue generated by the industry thirty years later, it is the most important cultural expression of popular music. The enterprise is almost exclusively male, the majority of listeners are male, and even though women singers contributed in the early 1960's, there have been only a few female performers. An analysis of feminine representations in rock music lyrics and album covers in 1981 reveals a variety of male-identified images of women. In view of the cultural context in which rock music originated and the industry developed, the recent penetration by a few more women into the industry raises questions about whether numbers will continue to increase and, even if they do, whether rock music constitutes an appropriate voice in which women can authentically express themselves. Women's images—especially those we Music, unlike many other forms of media, is a choose ourselves—can both reflect and deter• direct expression of ideas.
