The Crazy Train Episode #XCVII

On Episode #97 of the Crazy Train we had locals ‘Tactus’ in to debut their entire album ‘Bending Light’.

Adrian, Alec, Steve and Ben joined me and we went through the album track by track and got into some talk about the bands gear, their touring and plans for the future.

The album is now available through the band or at the bandcamp website, as well as through Tactus.com (links below), they even have a special edition instrumental version of the album!

On next weeks episode of the Crazy Train I’m planning another Punk/Hardcore episode of the show. CHSR gets in a lot of Punk and Hardcore (plus other genres from the ‘Punk’ tree) and since no one is doing a show to get this music on air, I’ve decided to throw in some episodes here and there!

At the bottom of the page, below the info on where to get ‘Bending Light’ from Tactus, I’ve also included the ‘Upcoming shows’ as I didn’t have time to go through them on Saturday nights show.

Also, please note that since we’re back into UNB V-Reds hockey season, that every so often throughout the Winter the Crazy Train will be reduced to an hour long. It was either this, or get bumped completely, or end up doing the show on Sunday nights. But I thought it’d just be too ridiculous trying to steer listeners to different nights and different times!
