Free n’ Easy
Cursed Arrows In these economically fraught times, it’s always nice when a band elects to share its music for free. It’s even nicer when the music is local and great. If you have a free release that you would like to share, please email me about it at scene@thecoast.cascene@thecoast.ca. Here’s some new free local music […]

The Rebirth of Pervert
Pervert “Pervert was the only band I knew that didn’t have a Myspace,” says Kyle MacDonald. He’s the newest addition to the Moncton powergrunge ensemble, currently emerging from a yearlong hiatus. As a stalwart member of the Moncton music scene, MacDonald can lovingly trace the band’s history back to 2008 when it formed from the […]

Cursed Arrows Release Video for “Death Rattle Blues”
Cursed Arrows have put together a video for the bluesy rager “Death Rattle Blues.” It features the duo wandering around a spooky field littered with old cars and a rotted bus. It’s a creepy looking place that I would like to visit. Like the song, the video is gritty and a little mean. They host […]

No Such Thing As Weak-Ends
The hail patters against my window, and outside small children wail in their inappropriate nylon and denim outerwear. What a tease this week has been. But it’s not all a loss…look at all this music we got here for you, eh? Husband-and-wife grunganauts Cursed Arrows are currently streaming their new album The Madness of Crowds at http://cursedarrows.bandcamp.com. While “Death Rattle Blues” remains a strong contender as my jam of the summer — that sleazy opening riff makes me crave a cold shower — the rest of the album is solid, featuring lyrics that are as thoughtfully written and conscious

Pop Explosion Night 5: Wreckage
Saturday morning, I figured I was pretty much a goner. Still in last night’s clothes, my eyes were crusted with shame and indifference. A pair of hands pulled me out of bed and we staggered to the Just Friends Brunch to find out ALL THE FOOD WAS GONE. At 11am. Great news for the brunch […]

HPX Day Two: Bloody Wednesday
It’s already at that point in ‘Splode Week 2010 where you start to lose track of what you saw and where you went. I actually had to take a look at my hand and use all the residual stamps and stuff to figure out what happened first next last etc. It’s like a road map […]

The Kinetic Band Shuffle
coffee and vegans After Cursed Arrows‘ set at Gus’ Pub back in May during Long Live the Queen, I freaked out. I bought both of their albums and listened to them when I was drunk and sad, and also when I was lying in a happy/wistful haze on my back deck. I started reading their […]
