No No Zero "Rough Stuff"

What is No No Zero?

No No Zero is the carpet burn no one asks you to explain.

No No Zero is the secret stash at the back of your closet.

No No Zero is what you flush down the toilet when the doorbell rings.

No No Zero is your giddy glee at the end.

Initially self released as vinyl only by this Toronto based band, we were so impressed by this album that we decided to let the rest of the world know about it. It's like we were in on the best kept secret and felt guilty not telling everyone else about it. No No Zero's strange cross pollination of punk rock and sexual verse defies categorization.

Bionic "Black Blood"

cover image for Bionic "Black Blood"

"Black Blood" marks the third instalment in the Bionic discography and is by far their best and most aggressive moment yet. Their new album sees them breaking new ground with their own hard brutalizing mix of punk meets 70's rock with stabs of Devo and psychedelia, while still keeping the explosive, juggernaut intensity that their live shows are renowned for. They've enlisted the musical help of friends in the burgeoning Montreal musical community like Tricky Woo, The Besnard Lakes, Silver Mt. Zion, Land Of Talk, Xavier Caffeine and even a marching band complete with cheerleaders. Make no bones about it, "Black Blood" is as rocking as it gets but still manages to push the envelope and prove that loud rock music can still evolve out of the mire.

Trigger Effect "Dare To Ride The Heliocraft"

cover image for Trigger Effect "Dare To Ride The Heliocraft"

Remember when punk rock was still about danger and not about selling shoes? Well, Trigger Effect does. This is no nostalgic sleep walking trip, these Montreal miscreants are equally as committed to incinerating the past as they are about giving the finger to the future. "Dare to ride the Heliocraft" captures the thunderous experience felt at their live shows. The album was recorded in two overnight sessions and is a continuous, eleven song path of destruction. This is not for the faint of heart or for people scared at the sight of blood. Trigger Effect are not trying to sell shoes or even entertain you here, they are trying to obliterate the world one person at a time.

This is chaos, this is danger, this is punk rock!

This is Trigger Effect. It is not a choice but an inevitability.

Starvin Hungry "Cold Burns"

cover image for Starvin Hungry"Cold Burns"

Punk Rock is too small a phrase to contain Starvin Hungry's second album. The band have consumed influences from every era of rock 'n' roll and cooked up something that recalls the highly individualized think punk of early pioneers like the Voidoids, Wire, and The Wipers, as well as the ferocious sexual splatter of the Stooges and Pussy Galore. "Cold Burns" brings something new to the table through the use of alternately tuned guitars and unusual chord changes served on a warm plate of classick hooks. Recorded by the infinitely versatile Jace Lasek of Besnard Lakes fame, "Cold Burns" is the sound of rock n' roll moving backward and forward, like a good fuck should.
