(This is an old post I wanted to make back in mid-March that I never got around to. I was going to scrap it, but it's about music, and I love talking about new songs I discover, so away we go!)
An unfortunate fate has befallen me: my computer has died. I am in the midst of backing up all my vital files, then I'll have to... format it. :( There are no words for how disappointed I am over this development.
But before this calamity arose, I downloaded a lot of new music that I simply must share with the intertubes.
Of particular note is a band called Hail The Villian from Oshawa. How did I discover them? It's so convoluted. Because I'm interested in figure skating, I watch interviews with figure skaters on YouTube. In one such interview, ice dancer Scott Moir was asked what music was on his iPod at the moment, and he replied with the above band. Considering Durham is my hometown, my interest was piqued. They're more on the heavy rock side, think Alexisonfire or Billy Talent, which isn't my usual thing. But wow, their music really grows on your after a few listens.
Unfortunately, their first and only album hasn't been released yet. But you can listen to it on their MySpace page or buy it on iTunes. :)
