Every Song Is A Nasty Little Dance-Punk Earworm You Won't Want To Flush Out - Feura releases debut EP


Feura doesn’t care if you don’t like them, or their music…but she’s gonna make you move and sweat whether you like it or not. 


Released August 29, Feura’s debut EP EAT IT! delivers 4 tracks and covers a lot of ground in just under 10 minutes. Building their reputation for their wild, raw, and energetic live shows, it is clear that great time and effort was taken to synthesize that experience into the debut EP. 


The time and experience Feura has garnered performing for a multitude of audiences, and sharing bills with established acts like NOBRO in the past year shines through in EAT IT!. The sound is so tight and every song is a nasty little dance-punk earworm won't want to flush out. 


Preceded by the underdog anthem ‘SMASH’ and catchy grunge-inspired ‘Sick Medicine’, EAT IT! is an addictive blend of catchy choruses, hooks, and song structures that are as fresh as they are fierce. The most exciting part of the listening experience is the multiple directions the EP goes in, but never concedes in its authenticity. The best example is ‘I’m The Man’ which straddles elements of rockabilly swagger for a very strutable song that ends with a frenzied banjo outro…yes, you read that correctly.  


EAT IT! combines grime and grace with lyrics that are harsh and direct, but delivered with the coyness of a seasoned act. Don’t get it twisted, Feura is not soft or inflated by delusion - they came to break shit in more ways than one. Though still new to the scene, Fuera’s distinct voice and purposeful POV is both raucous and polished with a confidence that longer-running bands have yet to capture. 


It doesn't take long to listen to, but EAT IT! leaves an impression. It is a well-conceived and well-delivered debut that should make any listener excited for what’s next to come out of the Feura camp.

A Knockout Right Hook That Leaves Blood On The Ice - Slewfoot to release second EP

Image
  Almost exactly one year since releasing their debut EP, Baytown Hardcore’s Slewfoo t return with Built For War, their new EP that lives up to its name.  Slewfoot came to exist out of necessity as the hardcore scene in Barrie was in need of a line change, and to fill up a roster with new contenders. In a very short amount of time, Slewfoot ’s dynamic and unrelenting live shows became the place to be and helped Baytown Hardcore bring much deserved attention to the music coming out of Barrie.   Their Misconduct EP was a heavy-hitting introduction that packed massive riffs, blasting drums, and aggressive vocals, collectively creating a variety of styles that never went stale. Built For War doubles down and delivers a bigger, and more devastating punch that leaves a lasting impression in its modest 11-minute run time. If Misconduct was a haymaker - swung wildly, guided by nothing but raw power in a general direction, Built For War is the calculated knockout right-...

A Testament To How Far And How Deep Pop-Punk Can Go - Hey Slugger to release new EP

Image
Pop-punk can be criticised up and down, left and right, but only one question really matters: Is it good enough to be on a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater playlist?  Without a doubt, Hey Slugger’s upcoming EP entitled I Don’t Recall Saying Good Luck would be a more-than-welcome addition to such a hallowed grindfest.  Capturing the genuine essence of the pop-punk superwave that dominated the 2000s, Hey Slugger have added a modern depth to the genre. All 4 new tracks blend that feeling of comfortable nostalgia with crackling anticipation. I Don’t Recall Saying Good Luck is a testament to how far and how deep pop-punk can go when approached by musicians who have an earnest love for the genre, and the talent to elevate the beloved sound.  Preceded by the single “So Far, So Good”, an honest, melodic, and dynamic track, the rest of the EP infuses humour and heart in equal measure. The guitar styling hits all the hallmarks of the genre - catchy and slick. The bass and drums drive each...

The Punk Collab We Needed In 2025 - Heavy Petter and The Highdives release split LP

Image
The lore of Kempenfelt Kelly is spotty, and in all honesty, pretty damn bland. Since its last sighting in 1967, ol’ Kelly has fallen into watery obscurity - until now. Two stalwart bands of the Barrie and beyond music scene are taking back the Kempenfelt Kelly name for their split LP Come Back, Kelly.   Like the mythical beast itself, tales of Heavy Petter and The Highdives have seeped into the oral history of this fair city. Known for nasty guitar riffs, blasting tempos, and lyrics that both bite and bring a smile to your face, this is a legendary collaboration. Though there are only 2 band names on the cover, each members carries with them copious credits to a myriad of projects that range from doom to solo acoustic and bear the same quality and energy present on this split.  Boasting a Heavy side and a High side, Come Back, Kelly displays both bands doing what they do best - creating aggressively energetic songs that connect to everyone in the community.  While the na...
