Tiger Army
II: Power Of Moonlite
Hellcat/Epitaph
A bit of a departure from their debut album, The Power Of Moonlite still proves Tiger Army to be one of the strongest acts in a very long time. This time around, we find TA little angrier, rough around the edges and out for blood. Moving away from the all-out twangy rockabilly, the band have more leanings towards an AFI-esqe sound with this release, which should come as no surprise, seeing as 2/3 of the band come from said SoCal goth-punk outfit. Still, they know when to toss in the stand-up slap, belt out the horrific lyrics and grind you down faster than a rabid chainsaw wielding redneck.

Kenny Glasgow
Toronto Mix Sessions
Turbo
In a recent NOW poll Kenny Glasgow was voted as Toronto’s best DJ. I’ve been a fan of Glasgow’s since the JMK warehouse party days, and when I first got wind of his upcoming Turbo release I was psyched. Once again Turbo delivers, this Montreal based label has a tight track record of intelligent tek-house and Electro releases, of which the Toronto Mix Sessions is a perfect example. In a world full of cheesy trance, grating vocal house and stagnant drum and bass, the Mix Sessions is a much-needed breath of fresh air.
