Fuck The Facts – Amer — Independent, 2013

Fuck The Facts have long been a bright spot in the canadian metal scene. The long running band have released a nearly ridiculous number of records in their ever changing musical formula. The formula itself retains grind as a backbone but adds layers and ideas up and above that to create something more dynamic more the bands' own.

Amer is a brief ep released on cassette and vinyl with lyrics solely in french. As this release is yet another notch in the bands independent belt it is more of their own less filtered but same general idea. While none of the songs reach much over 3 minutes (at an absolute maximum), there are shades of the bands influences outside of grind all over it whether it be noise, hardcore and doom all styles make their presence felt. This all equals out to a strong but all too brief EP by a band that deserve their place in metal and then some.

It is an ongoing process, one that Anna has been refining over the years. In 2018, the … Read more

Time Won't Bring Me Down
Dirtnap, Wild Honey Records (2025)

"When I've had enough of modern life, I go back to my analog ways." It's a simple quote, yet it captures so much about Radioactivity. It's been 10 years since the band released Silent Kill, and this time around the Jeff Burke-led group shows clear growth and change, while still capturing the same vibe as the previous two records.

I went to a birthday party for my wife and six or seven other friends and acquaintances last night. I guess people liked having sex in January in the late 70s-early 80s? In Canada at least, that’s how we keep warm in the winter! Anyway, I was foraging at the smorgasbord with a couple former co-workers talking about my recent … Read more
