Finger Eleven @ Threatre Corona

January 31 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Alright, so like most people I first got a taste of Finger Eleven in the mid 90s.  I heard "Above" off of Tip and I was sold, and after The Greyest of Blue Skies came out I really started to follow them heavily.  I managed to catch them for a whopping one dollar and five cents at a show in my home town that was put on by a local radio station.  The show was fantastic, and after that I even made a trek three hours away to catch them in Pittsburgh.
 

Tokyo Police Club +Two Door Cinema Club + P.S. I Love You @ Club Soda

January 25 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

There I was on a Sunday night, sitting in one of the side balconies at Club Soda and thinking, "who does a show on a Sunday night?" Isn't Sunday night meant for rest after a long weekend? I guess I'm getting too old. Or is it just the fatigue of partying all weekend? It felt weird since usually I take pictures at concerts but for a change I was there to review the show.

Badfish @ Club Soda

January 13 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

As a Sublime tribute band, Rhode Island-based Badfish takes on the tricky task of satisfying diehard fans of the legendary 90's group from California and its late, great lead singer, Bradley Nowell.

Video Game Review - Amnesia: The Dark Descent

January 10 2011 // Magazine // Features

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is one of the most terrifying games I’ve ever played. Amnesia’s a well put together puzzle adventure game designed solely for making your heart race.

As the player, your character is Daniel, a young man from London who awakes in the castle remembering nothing but his name. He finds a letter from himself warning that he is being chased by a “living nightmare,” and that he must kill Alexander, the baron of the castle.

CJLO Staff Picks of 2010

January 1 2011 // Magazine // Features

We like music here at CJLO, whoddathunk!?  Below is a smattering of picks from a slew of our DJs and Staff of what were their favourites for 2010, a year that seemingly had a lot of good stuff going for it musically.  The lists are diverse, and reflect the different styles of music that CJLO broadcasts, as well as the eclectic tastes of our DJs.

Video Game Preview - Bloodline Champions

December 16 2010 // Magazine // Features

Bloodline Champions is a free-to-play Arena-based PVP game that will seem similar to fans of League of Legends and Defense of The Ancients. What sets this game apart from other games of this genre is the use of WASD keys and a lack of minions. The game makes it easy for a player to choose their play style by separating the different characters into four types: melee, range, tanking, and healers.

White Lung

December 15 2010 // Magazine // Music Reviews

With White Lung's debut, It's The Evil, it's easy to praise it to the heavens upon first listen.  In fact, it's easy to fall in love after the first song, "Viva La Rat" if you're an outsider (like me) looking for something new and fast to punch you in the face. 

December Horockscope

December 6 2010 // Magazine // Features

For December's edition of the hoROCKscope, we suggest you listen to The Decemberists to fully substantiate this month's tweet-worthy predictions!

All signs:
As the sun moves into Sagittarius and the moon into Gemini, a sudden powerful shift in power occurs. Get ready for things to happen!

Aries (Mar. 21 – Apr. 20)
Concentrate on work. Family will cause strain. Be confidant and vocal in situations surrounding groups, but think before you speak at home.

Dandy Warhols @ Le National

November 17 2010 // Magazine // Concert Reviews


It hadn’t been that long since the Dandy Warhols came to visit us here in Montreal, but judging by the size of the crowd at le National the other night, their fans seem to never get enough of this West Coast band.

Entering the charming National theatre, you immediately felt a surreal emotion looking at the stage. This was due in part to the giant Chinese round paper lanterns that hovered above the stage and little did we know at this early time, how they would compliment the band in fantastical fashion.
