HxC: The New Wave of Hardcore Music has such a wide variety of sound and styles it’s hard to capture everything a band or musician has to offer under one specific genre. Hardcore is no exception. With influences from metal, punk, grindcore, ska, death and thrash metal along with all the anger and politics thrown together, it creates what we can loosely call hardcore music. The one thing that brings all hardcore punk bands together is their absolute love for the music and affiliated culture … and the fast-paced, pissed-off sound the majority of the bands have. Hardcore can branch off into different types of sound, depending on the band’s influences. These new- age, punk-influenced bands take notes from the original hardcore bands who have more of a metal influence, and they created a lifestyle out of it with the same original metal hardcore bands as their idols. The fluidity of the genre has helped the sound evolve into the new-age subset in which Providence is making waves. With Mass. right next door, local bands are able to play with some of the biggest names from Boston, Merrimack Valley and the Western Mass. hardcore scene. And one of the largest hardcore labels, Bridge 9, is in Massachusetts, which also gives RI bands the opportunity to play with some of their inspirations. New Providence hardcore band, Waste Of Life, had the chance to play with the group that they pull most influence from, Rude Awakening from Merrimack Valley, earlier this summer in New Hampshire. Violent Sons, another hardcore punk band from Providence, got signed to Bridge 9 records in early July, which just adds to list of sick things happening in the Providence scene. Venues like Firehouse 13, AS220, The Funky Jungle, The Met, and Machines With Magnets all support the flourishing hardcore scene in Rhode Island. More and more shows will be popping up in venues like these, so keep your eyes peeled and ears open for all the chaos that this scene has to offer. Upcoming Albums Cruel Hand drops their new album The Negatives September 23. This is the first album they have released since 2010. The record release show is being held in Portland, Maine, on September 20 with Bane. Punch just released their new LP They Don’t Have To Believe through Deathwish Records. They will be playing close by in Boston on September 8. Western Mass. hardcore band Revenge is releasing their new full length The Heavens Are Empty in late September. Their record release show will be September 14 in Holyoke, Mass. Providence hardcore punk band Violent Sons recently released their full-length Nothing As It Seems in September, with their record release show at AS220 on September 25. Upcoming Shows September 6 AS220 — Fucking Invincible, Straight Razor, Death Injection, Wokling. September 25 AS220 — Violent Sons (LP Release), Caught in a Crowd, My Fictions, Barber Cop. October 3 Lupos — The Wonder Years, The Story So Far, Modern Baseball, Gnarwolves. October 5 Firehouse 13 — Expire, Rude Awakening, Caught in a Crowd, 1 local tba.

Top 10 Acts To See At Boston Calling It has rocked Boston four times since its inception in May of last year, and has quickly become one of my favorite music festivals. Boston Calling is invading City Hall once again from September 5 – 7 with a lineup of acts that very well could be the best edition yet. Once in a lifetime experiences, bands playing Beantown for the first time in decades, and a whole lot of fun is guaranteed to ensue. If you plan to attend, here are my suggestions for the top acts to see at the 4th Boston Calling Music Festival: 10.) Lake Street Dive (Sunday 3:55 @ Capital One 360 Red Stage) This jazzy soul band started out in Boston and is currently based in Brooklyn. I’ve been a fan of Lake Street Dive ever since I saw them perform at The Newport Folk Fest. They’ll be performing during the last day of the festival with an electrifying sound that you don’t want to miss out on. For a sneak preview, pick up their brand new album, Bad Self Portraits, that was released this past February. 9.) Girl Talk ( Saturday 7:10 @ JetBlue Stage) There are mashup artist and then there’s Girl Talk. The Dance King Of Pittsburgh, also known as Gregg Gillis, has the uncanny ability to combine snippets of nearly every musician and rapper on your iPod and make them into a song that will make you go absolutely insane. The courtyard at Boston City Hall will become a raging dance party when Girl Talk hits the stage on Saturday, so act accordingly and dance like an absolute fool. 8.) The War On Drugs (Sunday 3:05 @ JetBlue Stage) An experimental rock band from Philadelphia that dabbles in shoegaze, psychedelic rock and good old- fashioned Americana, The War On Drugs are one of those acts that at least one of your friends loves to talk about but hasn’t reached the mainstream. With a very cool sound and great lyrical quality, get ready for a unique rock ‘n’ roll experience once these guys start to play. One of many acts playing Boston Calling this year that have put out new material, give The War On Drugs’ new album Lost in the Dream a listen and dive in. 7.) White Denim (Sunday 2:15 @ Capital One 360 Red Stage) With their combo of old-school blues and psychedelic rock, White Denim from Austin, Tex., are, in my opinion, one of the best rock ‘n’ roll bands out there right now. Their songs hit you like a ton of bricks and they’re not afraid to get crazy with the rhythms. Right before The War On Drugs take things over, White Denim will be up and you’re gonna love it. If you need any more justification, their last album, Corisicana Lemonade, was produced by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy. 6.) The Hold Steady (Saturday 5:00 @ JetBlue Stage) One of the many heavy hitters on the bill this time around, The Hold Steady will be bringing the positive jam to Boston Calling on Saturday. Frontman Craig Finn will be getting everyone amped up while the rest of the band will be lighting the stage on fire with their heartfelt alternative rock sound. The boys from Brooklyn also have a new album called Teeth Dreams that came out this past March, which you should get your hands on if you haven’t already. 5.) The National (Friday 9:30 @ JetBlue Stage) Last year they headlined the first edition of Boston Calling, and Brooklyn via Cincinnati post-punk alternative rock act The National is back to kick off the first night of the festival on Friday. Lead by the unique baritone vocals of Matt Berninger, I first got into the band after I saw their performance at the inaugural inception of the festival and they’re definitely the real deal. It’s going to be a treat to see The National once more and I highly suggest you don’t leave early on Friday so you can catch them live. 4.) Spoon (Sunday 7:10 @ JetBlue Stage) One of the best independent rock acts of the past 20 years who still put out quality music with every new release, Spoon will bring their catchy tunes to the forefront on Sunday. Britt Daniel is an incredible lyricist and the rest of the band are simply amazing to see live. If you know me well, you know how much I love Spoon. When they play Boston Calling I guarantee you’ll get to see why. They also have a brand new album out titled They Want My Soul, which is fantastic, so go and pick that up before you head to the festival. 3.) Lorde (Saturday 8:15 @ Capital One 360 Red Stage) I might get flack from people for putting Lorde so high on this list, but then again I never really cared much for the haters. The New Zealander is only 17 and in my opinion is the best pop artist alive today. Better than Lady Gaga, better than Katy Perry, better than Britney Spears and better than Rhianna. Actually, she’s stratospheres above all of them. She’ll be performing on Saturday, go and see why she’s held to such high acclaim. 2.) The Replacements (Sunday 8:15 @ Capital One 360 Red Stage) It’s hard to believe I’m not putting a band I’ve been listening to since my teens at the #1 spot, but The Replacements are absolutely worthy of being on the list. When they got back together in 2012 they made a buzz, but when the alternative rock legends got announced as being part of Boston Calling they created a frenzy. It’s going to be their first time playing in Boston in over 20 years. I can’t wait to see Paul Westerberg and the rest of the band perform classics like “Can’t Hardly Wait” and “Alex Chilton” Sunday night. 1.) Nas & The Roots (Sunday 9:20 @ JetBlue Stage) Put who I believe is one of the best rappers alive on the same stage with the quintessential hip-hop band and there’s no wonder why Nas & The Roots are #1 on the list. It could very well be a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity to see two hip-hop giants perform together and it’ll be an excellent way to conclude the 4th Boston Calling Music Festival.

    The Music Distribution Industry in Canada 2006

    THE MUSIC DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRY IN CANADA 2006 BY LARRY LEBLANC FEB. 2006 This report has been prepared by Larry LeBlanc for the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB). The purpose of this document is to provide a profile of the English and French-language components of distribution of the Canadian-owned label and artist sector as well as Canadian artists signed or distributed by multinationals in Canada. The report specifically discusses changes in the music distribution sector in Canada since 1998. As well, such newly emerging factors as the rise of widespread Internet-based downloading; the rise of music subscription services; and the use of ringtones, ringtunes and podcasting in affecting music sales are also discussed. The report indicates that Canadian music retail has become more consolidated and more selective with product choices. Major music retailers carry a different product mix today than a decade ago. There are fewer music CDs, and more film-related DVD and computer game product. Although radio remains a critical vehicle for the Canadian record industry, labels and retailers cite a waning impact of the medium on overall sales. The study is based on a review of existing documentation, secondary research as well as analysis and findings drawn from 11 interviews conducted by Larry LeBlanc, as the principal source of primary research. Music OVERVIEW Canada's small market size, and a sizable support infrastructure is enabling the domestic industry to develop distinct acts for audiences home and abroad. In the past three years, global markets have embraced a new wave of formidable Canadian English-language rock acts including: Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Death From Above 1979, Feist, Stars, the Dears, Alexisonfire, Metric, Bedouin Soundclash, and Hot Hot Heat; as well as such French-language acts as Corneille, and Lynda Lemay.

    VIBRATOR 2.0.3 This could well be the third issue of the new-look VIBRATOR (“The new focal point fanzine” – Andy Hooper). Dive into its murky waters, thrash about a bit, come to the surface and gulp for air, then go down again, investigate that small piece of kelp being nibbled by a fish that strangely resembles your Aunt Peg. Adjust your goggles, give a kick with your flippers, groan as your chest tightens with an imminent heart attack, head for the sandy shore, and lay prostrate under the noon-day sun. Don’t wait for a sultry maid to come up and rub you all over with sun-tan lotion. It won’t happen. Look up at the seagulls wheeling overhead. Splat! Ooops, sorry about that, borrow this tissue. Soon a man will come along and try to sell you real estate or at least a new pair of swimming trunks and a snorkel, or perhaps a piece of metal formed by sintering. He will be called Peter Weston and you should listen carefully to everything he says, for he is truly a God who moves amongst us, albeit in a strange shambling way because his plimsolls don’t fit.

    Spoon Schonebergkonzerte

    KONZERTBÜR O PRESSEMITTEILUNG VOM 08.12.2017 Konzertbüro Schoneberg GmbH Amtsgericht Münster · HRB 3232 USt.-ID-Nummer: DE126111533 Geschäftsführer: Till Schoneberg Spoon www.schoneberg.de schonebergkonzerte 2018 auf Deutschlandtournee „Hot Thoughts“ (2017), das mittlerweile neunte Album von Spoon, ist das wohl mutigste und klanglich innovativste Werk ihrer Kariere, selbst wenn man Britt Daniels diverse andere Outputs hinzunimmt. Mit Respekt für ihre bisherigen Erfolge, die die Band sowohl bei Kritikern beliebt, als auch finanziell erfolgreich gemacht hat, radiert „Hot Thoughts“ doch eben alle bisher vorgefertigten Meinungen über die US-amerikanische Band aus. Das bedeutet zwar nicht, dass es nicht immer noch eine hohe Dichte an einnehmenden Ohrwürmern auf dem neuen Album gibt (es sind ja immer noch Spoon, über die wir hier reden - auch wenn „Hot Thoughts“ das erste Album ohne Akustik-Gitarre ist) – aber ihren textlichen Bogen spannen sie nun von sinnlich bis listig, während sie nach all den Experimenten der Vergangenheit ihren Sound zwischen den Genre-Stühlen gefunden haben. Anerkennung sollte man auch dem Produzenten Dave Fridmann zollen, dessen Magie in Cassadaga, New York der Band noch einen diabolischen Glanz verleihen konnte. Ohne Frage kann man schon die bisherige Discographie von Spoon bzw. Britt Daniel, Drummer Jim Eno, Bassist Rob Pope und Alex Fischel vom Debüt „Telephono“ aus dem Jahr 1996, über „A Serie Of Sneaks“ (1998), „Girls Can Tell“ (2001), „Kill The Moonlight“ (2002), „Gimme Fiction“ (2005), „Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga“ (2007), „Transference“ (2010) und „They Want My Soul“ (2014) als einzigartige Gewinnserie bezeichnen, aber dennoch ragt hier „Hot Thoughts“ als neues, futuristisches Kapitel im Schaffen der US-Amerikaner heraus.
