“turn on the bright lights” has b ecome label:aquatermassrecord
one my favourite rainy Sunday albums. album 2
tracks such as the dreamy NYC layer
dreamy harmonics of guitar with

insightful vocals. While other tracks
can you find the such as PDA and Obstacles provide
enough energy and momentum to piss
weapons of mass of the neighbors with tight driving bass
riffs.
destruction? there is continuity between songs.
unlike some current releases, I find this
album is best enjoyed when listened
to from beginning to end., so don’t
touch the random button or think about

with a cup of tea

adding these tracks to your personal
bestest super-hot hitz disc.

cure meets bauhaus. when i bought
their second album scavengers, i
knew i would be a devoted fan. their
sound is very soft most of the time
with the soft yet rough voice of the

constantly comparing them to other

>darkness entered my life
while attending victoria composite high school in downtown edmonton. this high school devoted
to the fine and performing arts, taught the masses which comprised of every ethnicity, income
bracket, and personal style. one of my school ghouls introduced me to what would become the
fermenting foundation of gothness in me. shelly was a vision of robert smith dripped in black
with a slice of glamour. she lured me to join her for a night out. the night was thursday,
and as we drew closer to the bar known as flashback, shadows came out of the dark.
flashback was in infamous bar located in the warehouse district of downtown
edmonton, near the tracks. it was housed in a warehouse with walls of black and
a checker board dance floor. before the night swelled into a cauldron of whirling
gargoyles, the bar was washed with the dark ballads of bauhaus. once the
crowd got livelier, out came the nitzer ebb, ministry, skinny puppy, sisters
of mercy, and frontline assembly etc. . . until the white of the dance
floor disappeared.

> moving closer to the present day, i found myself living

in vancouver for scholastic reasons. it was here i dis-
covered sanctuary, and at this time it was found
at the palladium, which i miss. the huge dance
floor space became my sunday night haunt.
