Here’s the review they gave it:
Ripping fucking hardcore from Canada. Really fucking raw yet perfect hardcore. Think of a crazy ass mix of raw early Us hardcore like Agnostic Front and Necros with gutteral vocals of bands like Crude SS or BANNYLYST with a recording similar to MODERAT LIKVIDATION’S “Nitad”. If this description is fucked up, then fuck you. Just buy it. It rips.
If anyone wants a copy in Halifax, email: alastair1000@hotmail.com
They’ll also be playing an all ages show at the Rock Garden this Thursday [more details tomorrow].

Seriously the only genre in Halifax I’m uncertain of in regards to the depth of the talent pool is Halifax’s hip hop scene [and I’m just too removed to know one way or the other] - otherwise - pop, punk, folk, hard rock, indie rock whatever - talent runs deep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another good reason to hang on to tape decks from Divorce Records:
Before things get crazy for Dog Day [Note from us: and they will], they have decided to release a limited run cassette with H&K on Divorce. The album will contain six songs and be duplicated on custom, high bias 20 minutes cassettes. THIS IS A LIMITED RUN OF 150 COPIES.
A pre-order has been set up on the Divorce website, so for $7 [in Canada] you can have a copy shipped to your door. If they are not all spoken for, I’ll be selling what’s left at the Khyber event on Feb 14.
Husband and Knife have also been developing a committed fan-base and their album Welcome Back to the Nothingness of Your Life was selcted by the Coast as one of the best of 2006:
This album is absolute. From the creaky four-track recordings to the morbid song topics, the mood never sways. It’s worth every moment you can give it. Somewhere between early Elliot Smith and Eric’s Trip’s more acoustic moments, it’s like a call from an old friend that you didn’t necessarily want to hear from. - Matt Charlton
Welcome Back to the Nothingness of Your Life, the new tape and a second pressing Dog Day’s Thank You can all be purchased at the Divorce store.
