| | City & Colour Sometimes CD City & Colour Discography of CDs
Released in Canada in 2005, SOMETIMES scored a Juno Award in 2007 for Alternative Album of the Year. Its appealing, whispery acoustic ballads bear scant relation to the scream-heavy post-hardcore played by Alexisonfire, City & Colour leader Dallas Green's other band. This is no sudden caprice, though; Green has been playing the soft stuff since his early teens. There's the expected heartbreak and wistfulness here, but also songwriting sophistication and true feeling (minus the vocal onanism of a Dashboard Confessional). Sometimes Review

$17.39 
A truly neglected classic, 999's eponymous debut album was issued in March, 1978, on the back of three stunning 45s -- the romping "I'm Alive," the anthemic "Nasty Nasty," and the oddly ambitious "Me and My Desire." The first and last of these appeared on the album, together with the summer smash that never was, June, 1978's, "Emergency," and it is with these tracks as its benchmarks that 999 should be judged. A ferocious live band, the group ...

From Oakland;Former Members Of Pee Chees,St.James Infirmary++
A superb punk rock band with wild, energetic shows, the Pattern are five guys who do a lot of flailing about while they play their instruments. They're also on the handsome side of the punk rock spectrum, and have more than their fair share of ladies in the audience. Singer Chris Appelgren is the CEO of Lookout Records, an established punk rock label out of Berkeley. His former band, the Peechees, were very much in the same vein as the Pattern. Actually, other than the fact that all the other members are different, the bands sound virtually the same. Both the Peechees in their time and the Pattern pulled the whoop-ass out of the can live, ...
| | Toasters Enemy Of The System CD (2002)
Sometimes
$11.15 
You've got to hand it to the Toasters. When the third ska revival hit in the mid-'90s, they had already been on the scene for over a decade, and bandleader Rob Hingley's Moon Ska NYC label was home to some of America's (and Canada's and England's) best ska bands. They took advantage of ska's new wave of popularity by releasing a truckload of albums by young bands, and while some have criticized Moon for a certain lack of discrimination during that period, there was no question that the Toasters' own releases were of the highest quality. With the subsequent collapse of the ska revival and the partial collapse of the record industry, Moon went out of business, and the Toasters went back to doing what they do best: playing top-notch 2-tone-derived modern ska for live audiences. Their first studio album in five years shows blessedly little in the way of artistic maturation; it's chock-full of the same old straight-up, R&B-influenced ska that the band has been playing since the early '80s. Blues influences are both explicit (as in "Sweet Home Town Jamaica," a blatant rewrite of "Sweet Home Alabama") and implied (as in the song title "Sitting on Top of the World," which has nothing to do with the Howlin' Wolf classic), and tempos are generally brisk; things occasionally slow to a more sedate skank (as on the excellent "Pendulum"), but for the most part this is joyful, upbeat ska. There are two hidden tracks at the end of the album. ...

"Dumb Angel has captured a mix of subtlety, thoughtfulness, and melody that allows him to...elevate his music to a higher plane of existence" – Planet SDumb Angel is the musical alter-ego of Saskatoon, SK based singer-songwriter Shaun Mason. A swirling, dream-like mixture of beautiful, wandering melodies and hypnotic acoustic guitars, Dumb Angel revolves between Mason the solo artist and a trio where he's joined by Melissa Nygren (Cracker Cats, Heartstrings) on vocal harmonies and glockenspiel and Patrick Schmidt (Slow Down, Molasses) on second guitar. While these hushed, spectral compositions evoke the music of Nick Drake, Red House Painters and other purveyors of moody, quiet folk, Dumb Angel manages to sound completely unique as it charts its own luminous musical explorations of self and place.Dumb Angel's latest recorded offering and sophomore effort, “I Woke Up This Morning”, sees Mason further exploring and developing the musical and lyrical themes set out in Dumb Angel's independently-produced and -released first album, 2006's “Ghost Dance”. But while “Ghost Dance” was recorded by Mason himself, slowly and meticulously overdubbing layers of vocal harmonies, guitars and other instrumentation over a few months, “I Woke Up This Morning” was recorded completely live as a trio over the course of a few days in Mason's front room. A chronicle of return and renewal, “I Woke Up This Morning” is a collection of georgeous, stripped down songs full of wonder, hope and that age-old search for strength and meaning in the madness.Dumb Angel is by no means Mason, Nygren or Schmidt's first musical endeavor. Mason was a guitarist and founding member of Saskatoon space-rock legends Blood Music, and has also been musically ...

Laurent Coq pianoJean-Christophe BĂ©ney tenorJules BikĂ´kĂ´ bi Njami bassPhilippe Soirat drumsLaurent Coq is the type of musician that I am most drawn to, in that he has such a personal and rich vision that he has created his own musical world. The music on his current release, Versatile, is so powerful, original, and simply beautiful that I find myself in admiration of what he has achieved. His playing is rich, subtle, and swinging, and each composition stakes out its own unique territory.I would like to reflect on two aspects of Laurent Coq's musicianship that infuse this wonderful recording: his fertile imagination - a faculty so often undervalued these days - and his exceptional skill at handling the subtleties of his craft. When a musician has these elements working together, and has access to his emotional depths, great music can come to life, and it has on this recording.Bruce BarthEverything here sounding so natural, one could easily miss a music so unspectacular. But giving a little more time, and one is hooked for some long hours.Franck Bergerot Jazzman ****, april 01(...) you will soon find out that this is no-nonsense music, different from anything you may have heard before, played by four outstanding musicians who negotiate the most intricate segments of Laurent's music with (of course) ease and skill...Domi Truffandier The News, march 01Hard worker, distinctive composer and determined ...
