4 1/2 Stars Reviewed by Amanda Waschuk (Calgary Correspondent-Canada) With the new single of "I'm so Happy" dominating the airwaves, fans can easily recognize the strong vocals of lead singer Tyler Conolly and distinct rock sound of the band Theory of a Deadman. Their new CD Scars and Souvenirs brings the heat with songs that make you want to headbang along to the powerful beats, as well as some slower songs helping to balance out the CD. Beginning with a somewhat slower song, "By the Way" still has the capability to prove that this CD is all about power and the desire to blow your speakers out! This is established by the deep, authoritative voice of Conolly and master guitar skills of bassist Dean Back and guitarist Dave Brenner. This third album shines through with a lot of varying emotion. According to Conolly, "the songwriting on the record is really about someone's past or and present, their relationships and how they shape everything." But it still shows passion whether it be a soft or fiery song. The only quip I have is that every song, new and old, has a similar sound. It would be refreshing to hear something a little different and more exploratory of different guitar styles and studio sounds. But really, if you love ‘em then you love ‘em for their signature sound. The CD ends with a similar vibe as the start, a little slower than the rest but still projecting great energy. The last song "End of Summer" is a very appropriate way to "end" a CD. So for all you rockers out there, this is a CD you're going to want to pick up. And of course we all love to support some good Canadian rock talent! Suggested Downloads: "I'm so Happy", "Crutch", "Girlfriend"

 Made In Where?
By: Kindah Mardam Bey (Ontario Correspondent - Canada) Recently, the question of where exactly my clothing is made has come to my attention. That little equal sign symbol on the back of Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin's hand represents Fair Trade. Which ultimately means that wealthier countries do not bleed third world countries for cheap labour. Seriously, it's a big problem, and while my brief encounter with awareness hit me in the early 1990s with Nike, and then with the outrageous brush with humiliation Kathy Lee Gifford was subjected to (wasn't everyone else doing the same as KLG?), I had little experience with the subject matter. Then the idea of Fair Trade slid slowly into my psyche, and when your High School school-bag toting cousin is more savvy on the subject then you, it's time to strip off and read the damn labels...Read More |
