CD Review: Grimes - Visions
Dance Pop In a Trance

She’s said of herself to believe in aliens, and as
Grimes
continues her venture through the music wheel, it’s possible such views could be received as a kind of strategy for self-promotion. There’s something otherworldly about Grimes that taps beyond soundscapes and Mariah-high croons– she’s dance, she’s pop, she’s conceptual and in a trance.

Live Review: Grimes plays Toronto’s Horseshoe March 27, 2012
By Laura Phillips
March 30, 2012
Bikes were locked around the block for Grimes’ sold out show at The Horseshoe Tavern on March 27. Securing stage views proved challenging, what with the crowd demographic being people of the 6 feet plus, but with last week’s cancelled show furthering anticipation for fans of Claire Boucher, visuals would become a backseat compromise.
Toronto Music Scene does Canadian Music Week 2012
By: Sheena Lyonnais and TJ Liebgott
March 29, 2012
And just like that, another Canadian Music Week has passed.

By: Sheena Lyonnais
March 20, 2012
“This whole thing has felt like the Hollywood Bromance that Hollywood hasn’t made yet – the professional falling out then the sweet reunion.”

He calls me to chat about Treble Charger ’s reunion at this week’s Slacker Canadian Music Fest and immediately apologizes for missing our original scheduled time of which he forgot and I forgave. After a decade of prolonged tension between Treble Charger’s two vocalists/guitarists Gre...
CD Review: Trust – TRST
Trust survives buzz to delivery sexy techno goth album
By: Sheena Lyonnais
February 29, 2012
4/5
Every once in a while you need to escape. You want to start running - through back alleys, quiet streets, Chinatown, it doesn’t matter. You want to feel like there is an intensity chasing you, like you’re running from and yet towards something – and when you get there, you want everybody to motha fuckin dance.

Rob Dyer Is A Hero
By: Sheena Lyonnais

July 31, 2007
By dictionary definition, Rob Dyer is a hero. The small, tattooed skater would probably laugh at this statement; shyly send his appreciations for the sentiment then move on to a different topic. But according to the Oxford English dictionary, Dyer is just ...
