Return to the RFYL Dome (it’s a dome now?) and enjoy a ton of music thrown out your way! Revisiting some solid tunes, sharing some new stuff with you, and sharing how much a shill I am for Bandcamp. So enjoy, go buy some music or catch some bands playing this weekend, and throw some requests out to RunForYourLifeCHSR [at] gmail [dot] com !
I didn’t talk much this episode – we’ll make up for that by continuing to not talk that much because it’s a music show. Should I start a talk show? Maybe.
Maritime Metal and Hard Rock Festival enters it’s fifth year with a perfect sampling of the the east coast scene, with new faces and old favorites set to embrace the stage in Windsor.
Veteran bands Black Moor and Doom Machine will provide a strong veteran presence as both bands are coming off strong fourth-coming albums. Doom Machine celebrated their tenth anniversary with a double album of new music and re-recorded old favorites while Black Moor’s “Brave To The Grave” earned them “Loud Recording Of The Year” at Nova Scotia Music Week, their third album to do so. First time performers Lionsault picked up some hardware as well with their album “Are You Feeling Lucky”, winning “Loud Recording Of The Year” at the 2017 East Coast Music Awards. Last Call Chernobyl were also nominated for this award with their second full length album, which was their first since 2010. Generation Idiot returns for a second straight year along with festival regulars Dark Shrine and Tri City Villains who will both be back for their third while Last Kick will return for their fourth.
New to the festival this year is the high octane rock and roll of Aron Scott Earthquake from Prince Edward Island and the exhilarating death thrash of WinterHearth from St. John’s Newfoundland. Both of which are the only representatives from their respective regions, making this the first edition of the festival to include bands from all four provinces.
Festival promoter Jay Chetwynd has also opened the door to a more diverse line-up of sounds this time around. The melodic hardcore stylings of east coast favourites Sleepshaker leads a stream of diverse offerings such as sonic groove metal acts Brass Knucklhead and Monsters Are Human, funky alternative rock acts Dark Sky Parks and Electric Spoonful and the spit-in-your-face punk rock stylings of Keith Doom and the Wrecking Crew. The battle of the bands will also give some fresh faces the spotlight once again; competing this year are Dazor, Impact Eleven, The Dead Minutes, The Meat Sweats, and Luna Amour.
Check of the Maritimes’ signature metal festival for their milestone 5th year this weekend, July 28th and 29th, at the Exhibition Grounds in Windsor, NS.

We all have stories to tell — from our lives, from our minds, from our hearts — and sometimes we get to share them in amazing ways.
My guests today are Robbie Lynn and Telina Debly, two of the participants in the upcoming 2017 Notable Acts Theatre Festival. Telina is acting in Hinter by Jean-Michel Cliche, and Robbie is directing Brainstorm (by Gordan Mihan) and acting in It Happened at a Party (by Caroline Coon). Both of them performed in the recent Bard In The Barracks performances, and we talk about the rapid process of learning these smaller, intense plays.
Notable Acts runs July 25-August 5 in multiple locations across the city, from theatres to streetside to libraries and parts.
I’m not an authority on folk music. Most of my recreational listening consists of Americana and blues rock drenched in sludge, but there are a few universal truths in music that get me every time. Tight melody&harmony, honest songwriting, and a compelling live presentation. As such, the intent of this missive is to briefly review both the EP “Going Gone” and the live performance at the Grimross Brewing Company on July 20th, 2017, by Lindsay Foote and her band.
I’m also not a suspense writer. I enjoyed the live performance enough that I went home and grabbed a copy of the EP, dug that as well, and felt the need to write about it.
First, I’ll discuss the EP “Going Gone,” released in March 2017. On the 5-track piece, Foote (Lead vocals, guitar) is accompanied by a talented cast comprised of Belinda Corpuz (Backing vocals), Eslin McKay (Violin), Malcolm Connor (Double Bass), and Chris Blachford (Guitar, backing vocals.) All 5 tracks are uplifting and singable. Overall the production is very well done. Everything is in it’s right place in the mix, and without a dedicated percussionist on the recording, it’s just imperfect enough to be perfectly human. Connor is a one-man rhythm section on the stand-up bass, and the embellishments by Blachford and McKay are tasteful – serving the songs with a delicate touch. The vocal harmonies are also spot on.
Experienced live, even with Corpuz absent from the lineup, the same vibe was very well represented. Being at Grimross, it was an intimate experience. It was as though a group of ringers had showed up to a kitchen jam and won over the skeptics. In 2-part harmony, the voices of Lindsay and Chris just WORK together. They kicked off the set with the lead track from the EP entitled “Found It” and had me hooked from the first chorus. The banter in-between songs was minimalist and humble, and the music had me always engaged and occasionally mesmerized. It took me by surprise.
If you are a fan of the Civil Wars, The Dixie Chicks, and/or Norah Jones, I am fairly sure you will find the EP “Going Gone” or a live performance by Lindsay Foote and company to be an excellent use of your time.
If you are a fan of Fugazi, you may also very much dig what they are doing, but I can’t predict that with nearly as much certainty.
You can catch Lindsay Foote and her band again in the Fredericton area on Saturday, July 29th, at the Tay Creek Folk Festival. They will most certainly make it worth the price of admission.

I originally listened to Spoon‘s Hot Thoughts when it was first released back in March, but I’m just getting re-visiting it now andgiving it the listen that it deserves. Such a fun record.
Tammie Hayward – Host of Instant Breakfast and De-Railed
This week my favorite new release is Gavin Simms from St. Johns, NFD. It is beautiful. His voice is really great and the harmonies are gorgeous. I have also been revisiting Stewart Legere‘s Quiet the Station for the same reasons. I guess I seem to get on rolls like that.
Zack Ward returns to Python’s Paradise to discuss his new film Bethany as well as directing Restoration. Reflections on Postal, A Christmas Story, Freddy vs Jason, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Almost Famous, and more!
Some people travel to get away from their job, and others decide that traveling with their job is the best thing they can do..
My guest today is Jenny Mitchel, aka Jenny Omnichord, aka Bird City, a singer-songwriter traveling with her converted bus-as-performance-space to this year’s Sappyfest — and beyond! We chat on the phone about the songs that never quite went away and became her latest project Bird City, the converted school bus that provides her with accommodations and a performance space no matter where she goes, and multiple identities musicians take on to get stuff done.
Hey folks! A brand new episode today brought to you by the pick-me-up committee here at RFYL HQ. Sometimes you just need to find inspiration in your music to keep you going. This is one of those times.
Casual co-host Sean Carroll and Alex Galley are two fifths of Malixiria. On this episode we talk about rap artists, Trump and the importance of having a wide spectrum of influences as we recover amidst the aftermath of Metal Bukkake 3!
Malixiria’s new song Paradigm Shift is our song of the week! Check it out here: https://malixiria.bandcamp.com/
Thanks for keeping it locked every Monday from 10-11:30pm on CHSR 97.9 FM! We have a lot of special guests coming up as the summer progresses! Stay tuned!
Yes, my friends only a couple weeks to go before I see you all in Windsor, Nova Scotia for the 5th year bash of the Maritime Metal & Hard Rock festival!
I decided to do another feature just to give a little more exposure to the bands and to you the listeners, so if there was maybe a band that you didn’t know of, hadn’t heard a song by them, you could listen in and go, “Oh man! That band kicks ass!!” and thus decide to go!
Also in Hour II, Ezra Seamone and his new guitarist Mike joined me to talk about the new band they are putting together. The guys are currently seeking a drummer, Bassist and Vocalist. I’ll put my name behind these guys. Mike’s an excellent guitarist and if you’ve heard ‘Soulstice’s’ song ‘Apocalypse’ it’s a testimony to just how great a budding writer Ezra is turning out to be. Both Mike and Ezra have a lot of heart, passion and drive for what they want to do musically.
Note that the next few episodes of the Crazy Train will be repeats or prerecorded shows. I’ll be away this weekend to our bassists wedding, then the Metal ‘fest in Nova Scotia, then Freedom ‘fest and on and on! Summer’s a busy time!
