Let’s get this out of the way. I’m not the biggest ska-punk fan out there. Sure, it’s fun enough for a song or two, but after that I’ve pretty much had enough upstrokes and horns for the day.
Winnipeg punk duo Mobina Galore are currently trekking through Europe with Milk Teeth and Against Me, but they didn’t leave home before releasing a new 4-song EP called “Singles & B-Sides”.
An all-female remake of Ghostbusters? Fans of the original were outraged beyond belief when they first heard about it. I was more worried about the fact that director Paul Feig was going to helm this thing. He is after all, responsible for atrocities like Bridesmaids and The Heat. Turns out we were all right about this being a terrible idea.
iZombie starts off with Seatttle medical resident Olivia ‘Liv’ Moore (Rose McIver) going to a party one night. Nothing too out of the ordinary about that, except that she definitely chose the wrong night to go partying. Cue the zombie outbreak. Next thing Liv knows, she wakes up as part of the living dead army. Logically, this kinda turns her life upside down and makes her lose her ambition. She doesn’t want to be a doctor anymore, breaks up with her fiancé and adopts a goth persona instead.
When I first heard about a movie being made about Suicide Squad, I got fairly excited. I mean, what’s not to like about a movie that sees a ragtag team of villains teaming up to fight for a good cause? A superhero movie where the bad guys take the lead? It’s basically The Dirty Dozen set in the DC Universe. You have to admit that - at least on paper - it looked pretty good. And when that first trailer was released, it didn’t do anything to diminish that enthusiasm.

Did you know that pigeon racing was an event at the Olympics in 1900? It’s true. Anyway, this noble sport inspired a Belgian four-piece to name themselves The Priceduifkes. Roughly translated: the prize pigeons. This was about 10 years ago.

At this point in time, I think it’s fair to say that Dropkick Murphys is more than a band. They are a goddamn Boston institution.
Remember Tad? Sure you do. What you might not remember are the band’s early albums like “God’s Balls” (1989), “Salt Lick” (1990) and “8-Way Santa” (1991). That’s not your fault though.

For a while now, something has been brewing in the seedy underbelly of Belgium. That something’s name is Fleddy Melculy.
