Tix on sale at the door P.S. I Love You
Indie duo from Kingston, Ontario.
"Jangling rhythm guitars, cutting guitar solos, unison vocals. Paul Saulnier, the band’s multi-instrumentalist and chief songwriter, is the type of musician who can perfectly contrast a powerful droning rhythm guitar with a ripping vocal and soaring guitar solo without making it sound fake or overtly extravagant." - Consequence of Sound
"Saunier is a Black Francis-like barker who'll happily break out into nonsensical, throat-shredding hysterics in order to scare away the normals, but he's also a J Mascis-ian introvert who finds it easier to express his true feelings through his fretboard. The duo's calling-card track, "Facelove", is a perfect encapsulation of how Saulnier compensates for social anxieties with guitar heroics." - Pitchfork

Balkans
"Atlanta's Balkans craft an energetic punk grind that waivers between bouts of sincerity and catharsis. Recent songs show the group drifting toward a fiery, precise rock terrain. Elements of surf rock give vague direction to "Zebra Print" and "Oh Dear." Each charges into obtuse, art-driven angles that transcend the kerrrang of '60s surf." - Creative Loafing |

 The Pack A.D. (Canada, Mint Records)
"A raw, hell-torn, blues-rock swagger. The Pack A.D. is a duo, but do not expect a stripped-down outfit. The Pack A.D. is two women, but do not expect "girly" music.
The Pack A.D. blends traditional blues and rock with a focus on rhythm guitar, solid drum lines, and singing straight from the gut. With a full sound, The Pack A.D. is both haunting and irresistibly foot stomping. Becky Black's voice has the feel of a hot, whiskey-soaked night. Maya Miller's drums fill out a restrained yet loose sound, just waiting on a snowfall."

Vice Device
Vice Device’s approach to writing and performing music was developed through reductive experimentation with synthesizers, drum machines, and sequencers. through trial and error (and group neurosis) the band settled on a style utilizing analog instruments and solely live electronics for the expressed purpose of creating a raw and dynamic sound that is more than the sum of its parts. - Sweating Tapes |

 Rank/Xerox
The sound of Rank/Xerox is one of post-punk tension, messy but vaguely pop in a fractured fashion, equal parts guitar scratchers and synth screamers. - Midheaven.com

Kitchen's Floor (Australia)
"Loneliness Is a Dirty Mattress, the debut LP by Australian trio Kitchen’s Floor, made many ponderous pinetop’s top ten list in 2010 and with good reason. The band aptly channels an adroit cacophony that recalls the former glory of past Aussie noise / punk gnashers such as Rejex and Feedtime with such élan that one might suspect Toohey’s Sheaf courses through their veins. On Look Forward to Nothing, new drummer Joe Alexander (also found in the excellent combo, Per Purpose) gives Kitchen’s Floor a much more thunderous drive, with the the results sounding not unlike a cage match between (the Australian) X and The Gordons. True, the pummeling is without quarter and there’s blood everywhere. But take stock, friend—it’s all yours! Which just goes to show that the best thing about beating your head against the wall is that it’s to Kitchen’s Floor. Look for the band Stateside late August through September, touring coast to coast and also dealing pain at Gonerfest 2011. Aloha." - Midheaven.com |
