Band of the Week – Ninjaspy


It is my firm belief that if a band with the combined sounds of metal, ska, grunge, hardcore, reggae, funk, surf and jazz can create a sound that makes everyone who hears it want to dance their fucking faces off, this band must be doing it right. Enter this week’s Band of the Week; Ninjaspy! … Continue reading

Holy Recap, Batman!


In the immortal words of Robin. There must’ve been a recap in that series somewhere, eh? To employ a pop culture simile, these recaps are to VisiONtheNet as Robin is to Batman, which is to say that they’re more naive and have much more flamboyant tights. On this week’s episodes, our Dynamic Duo (metaphorically, there … Continue reading

Topon Das and Fuck The Facts are busy fuckers!


I sat down with Topon Das, founding member and guitarist of  Fuck The Facts. Originating in 1998 as Topon’s solo project the band has honed in on their craft, becoming an experirmental grindcore giant! The band, whose style has been dubbed as “bastardized grindcore”, are now releasing their 9th studio album through Relapse Records, their … Continue reading

Children of Bodom in Halifax, July 21, 2011


July 21st has been the date I’ve looked forward to for the past… I dunno, 3 months or so… The reason? Because Children of Bodom was set to come to Halifax and play at the Forum on July 21st. Now, I’ve never been a big Bodom guy, I think they’re totally overrated because Alexi Laiho … Continue reading

Does Envision’s Ian Hart beat the Dos Equis man at being the “most interesting man in the world?”


13 years is a long time for a relationship, I think my longest has lasted just under a year so when I heard that Envision, also known as xEnvisionx, had been tearing shit up since 1998 I said to myself “…and why the fuck haven’t they been on the site yet Tyler?” The Hardcore/Punk 5 … Continue reading
