Magazine

Independent, provocative, now! The CJLO Magazine is the resource for features, reviews, and interviews. Established in 2004, and run by dedicated CJLO volunteers, the magazine covers the latest and best in local and international music, art, theatre, film, festivals, and more!


Dropkick Murphys + The Mahones + Teenage Bottlerocket @ Metropolis

Reeling on the heels of an incredible M for Montreal festival, I wondered how I could ever manage to make it to the Dropkick Murphys show on Sunday night, but immediately upon hearing a Celtic flute, accordion, and a fiddle, the Scottish girl that I am broke into a smile and got her jig on. 


Chrome Canyon @ Cameo Gallery, Brooklyn NYC

Chrome Canyon

 

A couple of CJLO peeps and I trekked all the way to Brooklyn with our CMJ Music Marathon badges in tow to catch METZ at the Cameo Gallery, only to discover that the venue had reached its CMJ badge quota. Having come all that way, we resentfully paid the ten bucks and went inside.


Pig Destroyer + Encrust + Early Graves + KEN Mode @ Public Assembly, Brooklyn NYC

Few things excite me as much as the CMJ Music Marathon. Every year, members of community and college stations across North America congregate in New York City to meet up with promoters, talk about how to improve their radio stations, and of course see tons of live music.


LISTEN TO : Palm Fête - Eyes

 

Palm Fête throws you back to summertime on a hot, breezy beach - cool, calm and collected. Listen to the brand new track, "Eyes". 

 


Violent Future - Street Prowler (PREVIEW TRACK)

 

Check out the first release off Violent Future's self titled and debut release. Immaculate production for a heavy set EP soon to be released and reviewed. Listen here.


Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Psychedelic Pill

 

On Psychedelic Pill, Neil Young reminisces about the good old days. It is the first double album he has recorded, and is his longest album to date – it is nearly an hour and a half long.


Alt-J - An Awesome Wave


Alt-J spends a lot of time explaining their name. If you type alt and j on a Mac keyboard, you'll get a triangle. But what does that have to do with slick indie pop? Well nothing, but apparently it has a deeper meaning for the band. The symbol is used in math to mean slow change, which they decided best represents their new sound after dropping their original name, the Films. It's all conceptual nonsense for a band whose music is far from conceptual.


CJLO 1690 AM Presents Safe in Sound M for Montreal Showcase - Nov 16th @ L'Esco

 

CJLO 1690AM is proud to present the Safe in Sound Showcase at this year's M for Montreal. Featuring a slew of artists who in some way are all related to CJLO, it will be a great way to spend a Friday night taking in some of Montreal and Canada's best music in a wide variety of genres.
