Sound of Music 2011: Lineup

Onstage between Faber Drive and Marianas Trench, photo by me.

The annual Burlington waterfront festival is pretty packed with talent this year. There's everything from light-hearted indie (Bedouin Soundclash, Tokyo Police Club, Hollerado), to disBAND punk pop (Stereos, These Kids Wear Crowns), to rootsy-rock (Emerson Drive, The Reason, Luke Doucet). If you're in the area, it's worth checking out.

Last year, we broke records on the opening night with adolescent crowds as far as the eye can see.

A human experience, through audio.

Despite its title, the Drop covers all genres, including EDM. It focussed primarily on the local Toronto scene until 2013, after which most of my written music coverage shifted to The B-Side, a publication friends and I founded at UC Berkeley. During that time, this page has held more poetry and personal musings, but as of 2017, I'm back to covering what I did best here -- new and unique sounds.
