Posted on by JL

Back in time

14 May 2022

Band: THE BLACK CROWES
Named after a children’s book of 1907,
titled Johnny Crow’s Garden by painter/auteur
Leonard Leslie Brooke

Who: Celebrated blues rockers from Atlanta, Georgia founded
by the Robinson Bros (Frontman Chris and guitarist Rich)
Active: 1984–2002, 2005–2015, 2019–present / 8 studio LPs

Anniversary album: THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION

Released: 12 May 1992 – 30 years ago

Rolling Stone Magazine wrote: “The Crowes are a Southern band that plays rock,
so there is a buried blues base to their music… the Crowes didn’t learn to play at the feet of Howlin’ Wolf; they learned by listening to records by Humble Pie, the Faces, midperiod Stones, Mott the Hoople and the rest of the second-wave British Invasion from twenty years ago… The Crowes’ songs are a pose, just as singing about thirty days in the hole was a pose for Humble Pie. But it is a testament to the skill, intelligence and force behind the Crowes’ music to say that their posing doesn’t matter — or really, their posing is what matters most of all.” Score: 3.5/5.


Deinze, Belgium – 2 December 1992 – Top concert

Turn Up The Volume: Electrifying retro rock blues brought with Stones-esque swagger, full-energetic force and several sweaty & sultry highlights, fast and slow (Sting Me / Remedy / Hotel Illness / No Speak No Slave / Black Moon Creeping / Time Will Tell) and they were even nastier on stage, as I experienced a couple of times.

Singles: Sting Me / Remedy / Thorn In My Side

Feverish Fervidness With Ontario Rockers PACIFIC ESTATE And New Single ‘REMEDY’

Posted on by JL

New striking strokes

18 April 2022

Band: PACIFIC ESTATE
Who: Formed in 2013 by a few bright-eyed high school kids.
They naturally evolved into one of Ontario’s premier up and
coming indie rock acts.

New single: REMEDY
2nd of 4 singles coming up.

“Remedy is the sonic embodiment of losing control of your mind. It’s a hook
driven rock song with catchy choruses and a groovy baseline, propped up by
dissonant lyrics. The song walks you through the somber existence of silently
coping with panic and anxiety while trying to act like nothing’s wrong. It’s an
honest first person narration of finding yourself at rock bottom and trying
desperately to put the pieces of yourself back together.”

Turn Up The Volume: Back in January these temperamental Ontario
rockers impressed with the kicks and thrills injected single Millennial.

And this new one confirms what Pacific Estate is very good at,
creating avid anthems filled with emotive eagerness and feverish
fervidness.

Setback and depression led to this heart-and-soul stirring
cry out with the heavy-hearted chorus going sky-high.

Music is about emotions so are Pacific Estate.

Here’s why…
