Quick Wicked from Canada is a MUST HEAR BAND!!!

November 28, 2013

Energy. Depth. Intensity. Bliss…. That is what you will get when you take a listen to Quick Wicked out of Brantford, Ontario, Canada. I heard them tonight and was blown away. They have some great bass intro lines that just captivate you and the vocals are amazing as is the guitar and drums. They are definitely adding layers to their progressive rock and making their own unique sound.  Quick Wicked is Kyle Love, Kevin French, Rob Eddy, Jeff Love. One of my favorite songs is Blix which is off of their self titled album and is available for download on Bandcamp here.  You can check out their video for Blix here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WMChyVsWkQ&feature=youtu.be]   They are also competing in a Battle of the Bands presented by GAIN MUSIC and they are set to play on December 13th at Van Gogh’s Ear in Guelph, Ontario.

November 28, 2013

Here we are on another Thursday which means our weekly spotlight on a new band that is thirsty for rock n roll! This week the band is White Chocolate Thunder and they are from Calgary, Alberta Canada. They are four guys who have a great rock/pop/punk feel to them. I hate placing them in a genre or category… so put it this way…. they fucking rock and have great energy and good songs! You have Johnny Molyneaux on Vocals and he reminds me of a young Chris Robinson of Black Crowes. His vocals are awesome. Then you have the fierce Jordan Tavares on Guitar and the energetic Braaeden Riehl on  Bass. Behind it all and bringing it home with solid drumming is Tanner Statham. Check them out in their video for a KICK ASS song, “No Regrets“: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbZOV2ZqOQU&feature=youtu.be]   “No Regrets” is off of their new EP, No Pants, Just Dance. which is available at their shows. So if you enjoy your rock with a side of punk attitude you will like White Chocolate Thunder!
