Lester Bangs, the greatest rock journalist ever, felt eternal Lower East Side musical royals the Velvet Underground were “our Beatles and Bob Dylan combined” and that “modern music begins” with them.

Though all but forgotten by this point—save for documentary films like excellent Vancouver overview Bloodied But Unbowed and recent Teenage Head retrospective Picture My Face—Canada once boasted one of the world’s best punk scenes.

Many bands take maintaining the same lineup quite seriously, even if it’s one of the most difficult things to pull off.

Remember that time, say, 10 years ago when Aaron Gillespie left Underoath to start a new band? While he started doing the Almost and Underoath at the same time, smug internet jerks thought he was going to cash all of his chips from the metalcore bank to bring in a bit more radio play and […]
