Album Review : Homeland Insecurity by FGFC820

by on Jun.14, 2012, under Album Reviews

Artist: FGFC820
Album: Homeland Insecurities
Review by: Outsider (aka Adrian Onsen)

I must admit that FGFC820 is new to me.The only thing I knew of FGFC820 was the performances I saw at Kinetik for the past 2 years (when I attended). My impression was that Rexx Arkana had a military and political message to convey (through the military beats, uniform that he wears on stage, and political commentary between the songs) but never really connected with it. Musically I enjoyed the stompy beats and harsh vocals, but that was the extent of it.

Until the other day when Rexx offered me a copy of his latest album Homeland Insecurity to do a review of. I accepted it but to be honest, I felt a little awkward as I didn’t know how I was going to write about the music I had only heard so little of.  (continue reading…)

News: All Cities Destroyed tour in Toronto

by on Jun.10, 2012, under News

Aesthetic Perfection is on tour and their All Cities Destroyed Tour is taking them through Toronto, Canada. The evening of Saturday July 7th 2012 in Toronto should be an evening of biblical proportions as Aesthetic Perfection, [X]-RX, BlackOPS and DYM will perform at Neu+ral (349A College St, Toronto).

I have seen Aesthetic Perfection and [X]-RX perform before and they blew the roof off the venues they played at. Their show at Neu+ral should be no different this time.

A great big thank you to the Darker Side of Light Productions team for bringing these bands into Toronto.

News: Updated and New Podcasts

by on Jun.10, 2012, under News

It seems that Communion After Dark and Razor Blade Dance Floor podcasts hadn’t been updating in the podcasts tracking tool. It turns out their new websites didn’t use the same link I had previously, and no updates.
Yesterday I corrected this, and the last post in the Podcasts section has their latest few podcasts showing. From now on things should keep updating regularly.
If your podcast is listed and you change your website, please let me know.

In other news we are now tracking another podcast from our good friends at I Die : You Die. Their ‘Mixtape’ (as they call it) is a monthly podcast featuring a unique picks. Tomorrow’s podcast update should include their podcast. Watch for it!
