  • Top 10 Aerosmith Albums

    Many years ago, we published an article claiming that we thought Aerosmith was the greatest American rock band of all time. Today, on March 2nd, 2026, we still stand by that statement. There are many great ones, and we have to put the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Beach Boys, The Doors, and a handful of others up there, too, but in the end, we’re sticking with Aerosmith. If I had a choice to put on the greatest rock concert of all time and only pick two bands to perform, it would be Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. Yes, of

  • Vancouver’s Punk act The Slip~Ons release Sophomore EP ‘Overtime’, Out Now







    ——————-


    Edited by Anselm Anderson



    Vancouver’s power trio, The Slip-Ons  released their sophomore EP Overtime, released last week via Scamindy Records. The seven-track EP is 90’s alternative rock mixed with power pop and draws influences from records by Bob Mould, Hüsker Dü, and The Replacements, with flashes of Ash and Dinosaur Jr. in the guitar tones. Fronted by Brock Pytel of Montreal pop-punk staples Doughboys and longtime bassist for Sarah McLachlan, Brian Minato. The Vancouver four-piece is completed by Rob “Shockk” Matharu of The Spitfires on guitar and Shane Wilson on drums.


    Overtime takes its name from the sudden-death hockey period, used as an extended metaphor for pressure and consequence. The EP leans heavier and more focused than the band’s debut, pairing Pytel’s gravel-edged vocals with punchy, direct arrangements. The lyrics widen their scope, too. Politics surface naturally, filtered through experience rather than slogans. As Pytel puts it, “I made it all the way through side A without a single song about a breakup.”


    The EP was recorded by John Raham at Afterlife, formerly Mushroom Studios, a room steeped in Canadian music history. Raham’s Curriculum Vitae includes work with Frazey Ford, Dan Mangan, Tanya Tagaq, Destroyer, and Pharis, and his approach here keeps the performances immediate while giving the songs room to move. Mixing duties were handled by Dave Ogilvie of Skinny Puppy, whose touch adds grit and tension. Overtime was mastered by Ronan Chris Murphy, whose work includes artists such as King Crimson, Ulver, and Gwar, bringing clarity and punch while preserving the EP’s raw, guitar-forward bite.

    The roots of SLIP~ons date back decades. Pytel first emerged in the late 1980s as the singing drummer of Montreal pop-punks Doughboys, releasing two acclaimed LPs and touring North America alongside bands like Descendents and ALL. At the height of that momentum, he stepped away entirely, travelling to Igatpuri, India, to practice Vipassana meditation and study Pāli. “I had a habit of going to extremes,” Pytel recalls. “At the time, it never occurred to me that I could deepen my practice of meditation and play in a touring punk rock band. It was just, ‘I’m going to shave my head and become a monk.’” SLIP~ons later took shape when Pytel and Minato began collaborating in 2012, eventually solidifying into a four-piece with the addition of Matharu and Wilson.

    Watch the Video for “Overtime”


    Those long road shows SLIP~ons formed as a straightforward rock and roll project built around chemistry and feel. The band’s previous EP, Heavy Machinery, generated more than sixty international press hits, premieres with Scene Point Blank and New Noise Magazine, and widespread support across college, indie, and mainstream radio. The release saw airplay across CBC, SiriusXM, and major Canadian commercial stations, alongside coverage from Exclaim!, Spill Magazine, Global News, The Big Takeover, and dozens of international tastemakers. Overtime builds directly on that foundation, pushing harder, sounding sharper, and proving the band isn’t slowing down any time soon.

  • EP Review: Master Splinter “Black Hole”

    EP Review: Master Splinter "Black Hole"

    Portland, Oregon act Master Splinter (named after the mutant rat kung-fu master from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) is back with their newest EP "Black Hole".

    The 3-track release begins with "No Die", a song we're familiar with as we reviewed it back in April of last year. The song is introduced as distorted hard rock guitars, slamming drums, and eccentric spoken/softly sung vocals create a powerful sound. Master Splinter quickly showcases a sound that strikes a balance between classic rock, heavy metal, and a more experimental sound. The song builds in intensity as brutal guitar chugs and echoing screams create a sound that is unexpectedly heavy from the starting point of the song.

    "Raven's Rise" starts with dark ambient guitar before launching into speeding drums and belted vocals that have an operatic quality to them. Theatrical lyrics remind me of power metal as grandiosities are described while slamming guitar creates a heavy backbone for the track. The song's mix sounds good, but still feels a little unpolished. I think the sense of rawness matches the eccentricity of Master Splinter; it feels like they are experimenting and releasing music that is unapologetic and true to themselves, which I like. A heavily distorted growl launches into a breakdown as bright synths further the epic vibe of the track while piercing guitar leads add more melody to the sound.

    The final song, "Unbound" starts with a thumping bass line that reminds of progressive rock as drums and guitar are slowly introduced. Drawn-out vocals further a dramatic sound as reverbed instrumentals create a deep atmosphere as vocals fade away. "Unbound" feels much more atmospheric than the previous tracks, taking a slower sound that focuses on building a larger soundscape. Things speed up soon enough as distorted guitar riffs and shredding leads are catapulted into your ears, meanwhile distant screams further metal influences. Heavy-hitting syncopated chugging creates a memorable exit to the track.

    Overall, "Black Hole" is a strong release from the band and showcases a sound that blends influences from across rock, metal, and experimental genres. Master Splinter creates a sound that feels unique, a little raw, and the band isn't afraid to get weird at times, which makes their songs memorable and stand out from the norm. You can stream "Black Hole" available on all platforms now!
