Band of the week!! - In Search Of Signals

In Search Of Signals
This week marks the first band of the week in quite some time so I am choosing an up and coming screamo / pop punk melodic band from Calgary obviously .. duh!
With great back and forth from a young female melodic vocalist and raspy male screamo vocal reminiscent of alexisonfire and another male melodic vocal that joins in the background but helps glue it all together. I personally love the genre on certain days and instead of breaking out the old cds I will be hitting up these young cats Bandcamp! Clickitty the link to hear some of their tunes here  or their name at the top there<
CHEERS!- BSK

Brad is Back!! - Metalfest show poster!!!

Ok so the reasons behind me not being around to do my band of the weeks or the numerous things I normally do is very hard to describe but now that I am settled back in at home and healthy enough to get some work done I shall be here for you guys as much as I can .. My boy Zeb has been helping as much as he can but we will be right back in to it fully very soon here. I have some great new interviews tro be done this week and some shows coming up including the 2014 Metalfest opening show that I will be at and hopefully filming part of it!! So for now I will leave you with the show poster for metalfest until I get back with more shit for ya! :D Cheers!-BSK
