&lt;p&gt;The Valleyfield, Quebec duo consisting of guitarist &amp;amp; bilingual singer Martin H&amp;ouml;ek, and drummer David Dugas Dion&amp;rsquo;s perverse, math-punk onslaught comes out this summer on CD, LP &amp;amp; digital formats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Originally self-released, the new version of the debut album &amp;ldquo;Ero Gaki&amp;rdquo; has been remixed and mastered to come as close as possible to the sonic assault of their live shows. The frenetic juxtaposition of The Jesus Lizard, Devo, Aphex Twin, The Melvins and Naked City coming from just two musicians is something that needs to be both seen and heard, in order to be believed.&lt;/p&gt;

    <content>&lt;p&gt;The post punk/garage/hardcore/swamp blues/metal trio has been kickin' around town for a while now, and are finally releasing their yet to be named debut album. You may be one of the lucky few who picked up their concrete cased CDR at their live shows but the band's first official release will be a 7" single for "Rip My Heart Out" b/w the Johnny Kidd and the Pirates cover "Please Don't Touch" out in July 2009. The Hour's Brendan Murphy best captures the band's winning formula as "...songs that make you want to pound beer, have seizures and stab people".&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How could we not sign that???&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The full length comes out in the fall of 2009.&lt;/p&gt;

    <content>&lt;h6&gt;What is No No Zero?&lt;/h6&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No No Zero is the carpet burn no one asks you to explain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No No Zero is the secret stash at the back of your closet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No No Zero is what you flush down the toilet when the doorbell rings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No No Zero is your giddy glee at the end.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very limited edition LP&lt;br /&gt;Digipack CD&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content>&lt;p&gt;"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.&lt;/p&gt;

    <content>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is chaos, this is danger, this is punk rock!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is Trigger Effect. It is not a choice but an inevitability&lt;/p&gt;

    <content>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
