Story: Hellogoodbye has been through a lot in the last few years. After a period of time, footing was found and the album “Would It Kill You?” was released. This being their best album to date, Forrest and the boys dished it out with unrelenting force. You need to see these guys live, now.

Story: After enjoying a nice little set in Toronto with very few people, it was time for the blow out hometown show for these lovely gents. Alexisonfire finished a long tour with a final stop in their hometown of St. Catharines, Ontario. Chore, Cancer Bats, Moneen, and Billy Talent helped AOF smash the faces of their most devoted fans. Everyone in the joint could feel the love, especially our boys who finally came back home. Thanks you guys!

Story: Alexisonfire announced a secret show at the one and only Sonic Boom in Toronto, and low and behold, I live right around the corner. Upon arriving, there was really only 50 or so people, so I’d knew this would be a pretty intimate set. After completing “Dog’s Blood” in it’s entirety, they finished up with Accidents. Solid performance gents, everyone there was in if for the tunes.

Story: A dear friend by the name of Matt Lewis put on “Afterburner Fest” in Hamilton, and I was fortunate enough to be on my way back to Niagara so I stopped in to shoot it. Metal and hardcore was had by all, with wicked performances from all the bands.
