NxEW.ca is a new Canadian music group blog. We have 60 + writers across Canada (and a few in the U.S.). We welcome anyone who wants to write about Canadian music - including musicians, promoters, managers, etc. (We're not the CBC and we exist to promote Canadian music, so conflict of interest is not an issue).
If you'd like to chip in on the blog or want to submit stuff for consideration for the podcast get in touch at northbyeastwest at gmail.com

Cheers!

Great review of The Horseshoe show in the March issue of Exclaim 'Another big-by-most-standards band, had a hard time stealing the night from the earlier bombast; but with a collection of unbelievably catchy songs and an unbelievably loud and tight band playing them, they did'

That was a great set at The Horseshoe. A glad-to-be-alive jamboree of jazz-swing, Balkan-folk, country, mariachi, East Coast music, building the bridge between indie-rock and a classic-ensemble inspired by an ecclectic cannon. A feverish powerhouse of propulsive energy, sizzling in full heat, like a runaway train tearing up the tracks.
