I was handed the Chasing Amee EP (err...a version of it on a burnt CD with the title written in Sharpie) outside the Lights show at the end of February.  I wasn’t sure what to expect considering it came with a small jungle-themed poster of the band shirtless with ladies and they were named after a Kevin Smith movie.

Toronto’s Isle of Thieves’ debut release Only Human is a solid album complete with strong riffs and the perfect amount of synths. Standouts “Wallflower” and the title-track are catchy pop rock songs with a good balance of teenage angst and musical passion.

Jay Clark and The Jones third full-length release Blue Cholera is, for the most part, an album filled with lost love, broken dreams and picking up the pieces.  Although no matter how down tempo and depressing its songs get, there always seems to be a shimmering glimmer of hope on Blue Cholera.

The Creepshow's sophomore album Run For Your Life perfectly exemplifies why this Toronto band won a Punk-O-Rama F-U award for most energetic live band.  Run For Your Life plays out more like a live set in your living room than a recorded CD.  Chock full of high energy, mass adrenaline and great tunes, Run For Your Life is a 30 minute sprint of Psychobilly that will leave you craving more.
