Local Talent

Lately there have been a few promising bands start up in and around Toronto, this is really good to see, i think this city is in need of a revival of sorts.

Eating Glass - www.myspace.com/eatingglasshc

These guys are the band I'm most excited about, they sound a bit like Infest with more of a modern vibe and a little Outbreak thrown in for good measure. The vocals are really good, and for being pretty young dudes the lyrics are impressive.

RAH - www.myspace.com/wearerah

Weird name, i don't really know what they sound like but i can get into it.

About To Snap - www.myspace.com/abouttosnap

This band isn't new they've been at it for a couple years, you may or may not have heard of them. These guys are by far my favorite band in Southern Ontario at the moment, fast, pissed early 80's hardcore with a modern touch, thought provoking lyrics, and a front man who is prone to unpredictable antics. They're playing a pretty extensive U.S tour this summer, if you get the chance make it out to one of there shows.

Fever Out - www.myspace.com/feverout

I saw these guys play with Another Breath, the lead guitarist shreds.

Urban Blight - www.myspace.com/urbanblight

These guys have also been around for a few years, but they they deserve mention considering outside of ATS they're my favorite Toronto band. Probably the closest to a true youth crew sound this city has to offer. They hardly play any shows but when the do it's always a fun time.
