Interview with The Holly Springs Disaster guitarist Josh Guillaume
CMW was jam packed full of interviews with no time to squeeze one in with THSD I postponed it until a week later when they were hitting up Newmarket, Ontario, aka the place where I used to go to shows in my younger days when I was still living at home with my parents in the small town of Stouffville. As a follow up to November’s interview with the now ex-member of THSD...
Interview with The Artist Life frontman Ian Blackwood
Though his old band, Jersey, was one of the first bands I listened to under the punk genre-umbrella back before I even hit high school, Ian Blackwood still manages to keep me entertained through his music. Recently I got to sit down with the guitarist/vocalist of The Artist Life to discuss hair, award ceremonies, songs with the same title and…
Video Interview with Kathleen Turner Overdrive
On November 11th, 2008 Matt Murphy met up with the boys of Kathleen Turner Overdrive right before they tore up their Ottawa stop on the Unity Tour at Cafe Decuf.

On Nov 11th, 2008 Matt Murphy went to interview The Artist Life while they were playing Cafe Decuf with the Kathleen Turner Overdrive and Means on the Unity Tour.

Interview with Protest The Hero lead vocalist Rody Walker
You can’t take anything that Rody Walker says too seriously. I learned that first hand when I talked to the Protest the Hero vocalist via telephone on Friday, January 16th. The Canadian band’s music is a sort of blend of screamo, metal and just not caring about what anybody else thinks. Protest the Hero is currently on tour with…
Interview with The Holly Springs Disaster vocalist Mike Froh
7:30 at the bong was the meeting place, the “bong” being the tip jar for THSD. After meeting at the rendezvous, vocalist Michael Froh and an already slightly intoxicated interviewer headed to a small room equipped with a table and chairs off to the side of the front lobby in The Mod Club. They would soon be told by a Security Guard that this…
Means - "To Keep Me From Sinking"
With just over a year having passed since the release of the well-received Sending You Strength, Regina, SK-based Means have returned with To Keep Me From Sinking. Thankfully, the new Underground Operations (and seasoned Facedown Records) family members haven’t sacrificed quality for haste with this album, and in fact…
Interview with The Holly Springs Disaster frontman Michael Froh and bassist Andy Foord
Straight out of the prairies of Canada, Saskatchewan’s “The Holly Springs Disaster” is making quite the impact on the hardcore scene in the East. The have been here three times over 2007, during which time the group released their first full length album, Motion Sickness Love. The CD is jam packed with melodies and riffs that almost take your mind to a whole different place using solid breakdowns capable of knocking every picture…
Interview with Protest The Hero frontman Rody Walker
I had the chance to meet up with Protest the Hero vocalist Rody Walker at the London stop on this year’s Tour and Loathing trek, which has the band playing alongside All That Remains (check Spenny’s video interview with frontman Phil Labonte, suckas), Bless the Fall and others. My thoughts on the show are coming shortly, but until then hopefully this interview will suffice as a holdover. The Choad was as well spoken as ever, and one of the…
