Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
Marina and The Diamonds are working on some new music, but Marina is being very secretive about it. Although the release has been delayed, she let’s us in on some secrets about the new album, and how alcohol changed her life.
Starting in May I was hoping to provide a new video blog (or “vlog”, but shoot me if I ever say that aloud) on a weekly basis. Unfortunately I have been unable to do that, mainly due to other work that I’m doing for andPOP (so it’s a good thing!). So, in lieu of a video this week, here is my first installment of what I hope will be soon be a cherished feature of Side B: In The Stereo. This will be my opportunity to tell you, dear reader, what record is currently in my stereo and how I feel about it. And what a better way to start than with my favourite album of all time?
One Chord To Another by Sloan (1996)
Sloan’s third album is considered to be one of the strongest Canadian albums of all time (#34 of the top 100, by one account). Some feel that it also marks the peak of Sloan’s long and still ongoing music career, but that’s a separate matter. During the 90′s grunge era, Sloan caught the attention of Geffen Records (owned by Universal) and landed a major label record deal. However, like any good major-label-vs.-rock-band story, they were dropped after two (amazing) releases, basically because they weren’t making music that sounded enough like Nirvana. The band almost broke up, but instead independently released One Chord To Another. I didn’t buy the record till about 2002, and it was only by mistake. The clerk at HMV said I’d like it. She was right.
Attention aspiring actors/models: Here’s your chance to appear in a Sloan music video!
The Canadian lads are looking for 20 young volunteers to take part in their Dec. 20 video shoot for “Witch’s Wand,” the latest single off their album “Parallel Play.”
The video’s premise is as follows: “In the winter of 1976, a small news crew blew the roof off of a strange and arcane cult that resided in a remote farming community in rural Ontario.
“This video depicts their most sacred ceremony, a rite of passage ritual, which initiates youth into adulthood and to the upper ranks of the cult, as well as the trailblazing news crew who discovered this mysterious group.”
Needed are 10 clean-shaven males and 10 long-haired females, aged 15 to 19, who are “’70s looking.”
Auditions will be held Dec. 15 from 8 to 10 p.m. at Toronto’s Lower Ossington Theatre.
Those interested can find more details, as well as contact info, at Sloan’s website here.
Michael Leblanc, who directed Sloan’s “Flying High Again” video, is once again taking the helm for this video. Co-directing is Scott Cudmore, who has produced videos for the likes of Great Lake Swimmers and The National.
Murderecords, the label that Canadian band Sloan initially set up in 1992 as a means to release their own material, is back in business with two new signings.
After being inactive in recent years, Murderecords has now signed fellow Canuck acts Pony Da Look and Will Currie & The Country French for album releases on April 29.
Pony Da Look, an all-female group from Toronto, will be releasing “Shattered Dimensions.” It’s the group’s third album after their self-titled debut in 2001 and “The Forcefield Weakens” in 2003.
Will Currie & The Country French, who formed at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2006, will share their piano-infused pop music with the nine-track “A Great Stage.”
They join the ranks of other Murderecords signees which have included Thrush Hermit, Eric’s Trip and The Super Friendz.
The two new signees will perform with Sloan and the Meligrove Band at Toronto’s Supermarket on March 6 for Canadian Music Week.
Almost 15 years after their first proper album came out, Sloan is set to release their eighth studio LP — and it’s massive.
The 30-track set, titled “Never Hear the End of It,” has been tagged for release on September 19. The first single, “Who Taught You to Live Like That,” is already available on the band’s MySpace, and was featured on iTunes last week.
Though the album seems sizeable, the band plans to jam it all on to a single CD. The vinyl version, however, will be doubled up.
A full tour will be announced soon, but until then, fans can catch Sloan at Stratford, ON’s Ovation Festival on September 8, opening for the Rolling Stones in Halifax on September 23, and at Kitchener, ON’s Rocktoberfest on October 8.
