Don’t judge a book by it’s cover? Not in this case. As soon as I picked up the Beekeeper album I already knew it was going to be special. Beekeeper, a three-piece from Vancouver, have just released their third EP titled Shout At People and this may be the most unique thing I’ve heard in ages. You easily realize band member Brandi Sidoryk is a trained opera singer when you listen to the best opening ever for a CD, “Bees”. They can bring a sense of humour without being tacky and even include a kazoo on my favourite track Oh Hi!. My only complaint about this short EP is that I just wish it was longer. Barely hitting over the 10 minute mark it leaves you wanting more! So although they’re in no way a “new” band to the Canadian music scene they’re definitely a band to keep your eye on.
Standout Tracks:
It’s The Blood

Tim Rayne’s Mini-Review: Shifty Bits – Shifty Bits Cult (EP)
This EP is a sampler, a taste and demonstration of range this collective brings to the fore. – an unapologetic assault of the senses. Believe me, you will thank them for it.
Last winter, the Shift Bits crew held a notable music festival at Gallery Connections in Fredericton. Unfortunately for me I was out of town, because the hype that followed from various friends who attended made it clear I missed one of the concert highlights of the year. I can’t attend too many live shows because of work and family commitments so I truly feel lucky when I get a chance to see a ‘Live’ band play live. I have only seen Motherhood and Maiden Names play live from this collective and both bands thrive on stage. In fact, Maiden Names’ show in particular is a must see. I heard the Maiden Names EP before I ever saw them on stage. I liked their sound of dirt rock/stoner metal fusion, but it wasn’t until I heard them live that I truly caught and appreciated their sound. They are now one of my favourite LIVE bands.
The Shifty Bits are a group of musicians who collaborate under the Shifty Bits Cult moniker. Motherhood, Waking Night, Maiden Names and Kurtis Eugene are the bands/artist that take part in this eclectic sampler EP set of diddies. The musicians are playful and experimental while remaining accessible and catchy – not as easy as it sounds. However, each band has their own distinguishable sound and inspiration. The 4 Song EP starts with my personal favourite track entitled Out to Long by Kurtis Eugene who incorporates a moody, slow burning blues sound that brings a psychedelic tinge when combined with his powerful vocals that could be compared to Jeff Buckley – if he smoked a bowl after coming back from the dead. The second track, White as Milk by Maiden Names is a great rock’n song that is up-tempo with a classic rock aesthetic in a low-fi recording. The song is great but I have a beef with the actual recording. The lo-fi element is part of the band’s charm and the band does not require a clean production to sound better, but I have yet to hear a recording that can exemplify or match the strength of their live sound. Don’t get me wrong, Maiden Names is one of my favourite local bands but I want to be able to show them to my friends on my home stereo. Motherhood’s song The News is layered with great harmonies and with some of their best production to date. This song showcases the bands campyness and even, in the last minute, what could be interpreted as a black metal homage. The final track on the EP is by Waking Night entitled Change, it has a country-rock-blues flavour with a little Jim James for good measure. Overall, solid EP from a collective that loves to be challenging while having fun making great music. A collective of true artists who underplay their artistic ambitions without losing face. This is a Sampler and it is just that, a sample. Check out more music from these guys from bandcamp; however, the REAL experience should be shared in a live setting.

Tim Rayne’s Mini Review: Tonella – Compromise (EP)
Tonella is a band that happens to be fronted by Tonella Roy. A Fredericton four piece rock outfit that mixes genres with a hard rocking foundation, catchy pop melodies, and soulful crooning. Backed by strong production, the Compromise EP easily shifts from intimate piano ballads to hard crunching rock hooks. The lyrics are reflective and at times remorseful; however, the juxtaposition of melancholy only heightens the explosive musical bursts of hope and optimism. The confidence and song-craft demonstrated on Compromise illustrates Tonella’s dynamic range. Opening track, Never Coming Back Again fully captures the band’s poppy orchestration, highlighting the EP’s strengths. The combination of female and male vocals elevates the song in both lyrical themes and music composition. The EP’s title track Compromise follows, possibly the strongest song on the album. Catchy? Hell yea…sticks with you long after you listen to it. Tonella Roy’s powerful voice steals the show, along with the great key/electronic hook. Foolish Heart is the ballad on the record and it carries with it a heavy weight of past memories and lost love. The next track, Tell Tale Lie, breaks away completely into a rocky, jazzy up tempo party jam reminiscent of playful Queens of the Stone Age riffage. The EP closes with The Separation, a therapeutic rocker that brings the record to its thematic conclusion of love and loss. Tonella proves that ROCK is still alive in the Maritimes.

Now this is one congregation I wouldn’t hesitate to join. This Moncton quintet may be newly formed but you would never know it as John Jerome an the Congregation took me by surprise when they took the usually overdone vintage rock vibe to a whole other level. Absolutely brilliant. John Jerome’s voice is a perfect fit and the addition of the mandolin to certain tracks is what makes this album special and unique. Just when you thought you heard the best song on the album the next one comes on and makes you sit back and say “oh man”. Ask Not What I Can Do For You, But What We Can Do Together is released March 12, 2013 and it’s a disservice to yourself if you don’t pick one up.
