Hot Picks: My Chemical Romance ready for Broadway?
It has been said that My Chemical Romance – playing a sold out show tonight at the Edmonton Event Centre – is the biggest emo band to ever deny they were an emo band. That word may be so early-2000s, but whatever it used to mean, the word is used to describe “punk rock with […]

Hot Picks, March 21: Thank God it’s spring

Johann Sebastian Bach lived in a time where atheism didn’t even exist. They would’ve thought you were crazy – before ripping out your innards […]
