The Equaliser

ClinicThere's exciting news about the mystery men of Clinic. Firstly, they have a brand new spanking website. I found out about their new site when I was checking my Site Meter stats and found that their website linked back to my review of their November 5, 2004 show at Lee's Palace. That was awfully nice of them.

Secondly, according their website, their new album was recorded over this Autumn. They describe it as "heavily upbeat and party based", and "less dark" than their previous album "Winchester Cathedral". The lads offer further description of the album: "It ranges from several severely fuzzed out riff manglers to skewed doo wop and raw punk. A pop strain runs throughout the major tracks , albeit cut-up and turned inside-out." They have the album scheduled for a release in early 2006 with the single "Tusk" preceding.

Oh, make sure you have pop-up blockers disabled because when you visit the main site, an additional window should open giving you an opportunity to download a FREE mp3 EP. [photo from Tag Team Media]

I was perusing Pollstar a couple of days ago and came across some exciting news about Final Fantasy and Torngat. The following show dates are purely unconfirmed as the respective artists' websites make no mention of them but here they are:

  • January 11, 2006 - Final Fantasy @ Berkeley Theatre(Toronto)

  • July 22 and 23, 2006 - Final Fantasy, Torngat @ Guelph ON's Hillside Music Festival - (This doesn't gel with the Hillside Music Festival website which indicates that 2006's festival will take place from July 28-30, 2006.)
