We'll be making the upcoming shows page a helluva lot prettier on the eyes as well. We're just lazy, and like to copy and paste.

The Local Scene - There are literally hundreds of artists from here to Toronto, and it's our goal to cover as many of them as humanly possible. We'll be bringing you a list of venues, show information, and all the bios and music you could possibly handle from the local scene.

The Forum - This time around, you'll have more options than just bitching about spelling mistakes. This is where all the local music fans will meet to debate, fight, argue, flame, and yeah, bitch about spelling mistakes.

Featured Artists - We've got a few choice groups and musicians we've been working closely with over the years, and we'll be showcasing them from time to time on the site. These bands are located anywhere from Ontario to New Zealand. We're all about the local sound, no matter where it is you call local.

Project Pain - Having worked closely with the promotion over the last year, we're finally ready to (slowly) start partnering with them, showcasing the bands that made the Pain crowd unforgettable.

The G-Spot - Our resident sex therapist, Giia, rejoins the team and gives you her take on a little bit of everything sex and relationship related.

Other work - Professional videographers, photographers, studios, venues, and anything else you can think of that's music related. If they're involved in the scene, they'll be featured here.
