Shadow Folk

this is shadow folk. out of truro, nova scotia now based in halifax, i believe this is mainly a solo project (of justin mcgrath) with collaborators on the recordings. i've seen him live in truro (though only for a short bit) and it was great. he was alone with some pre-programmed sounds and his electric guitar, though sometimes just vocals. very interesting project that has a 90's alt sound (think blur/oasis/frogs) with a more spaced out psychedelic feel to it. also helps that the songs are very well recorded. do yourself a favor and check this out

WIZURD - Sux To Be Us

i recently borrowed a few tapes off a friend of mine, to listen to and digitize. he was a teen during the mid 90's music scene in truro. he had given me lots of old posters too - which will be online at some point. anyways i hadn't actually heard the band WIZURD before. i was always curious to listen to them but haven't ever come across an .mp3. you see, this cassette came out in 1997 and as i sometimes forget, there were plently of local bands from that time. the reason i forget is that the recordings are so sparse, hard to come by. alot of stuff probably is yet to be transferred. anyways people check this one out.
