From the Animal Chin of
Jesse Locke:
Craft Singles chief exec Andy March puts his best
flower power foot forward on this scorched denim vest jambone. Anglofied undulations linger in the myst of heart-shaped hooks and the algebraic pterodactyl armed stick work of a
Haligonian stalwart, which is all just an ostentatious way of saying that these songs totally rock.

From the steady doggin’ it of Aaron Levin:
Halifax’s premier fringe-art
playhouse has pulled together a mammoth compilation capturing the recent wave of do-it-with-everyone artists roaming the Haligonian landscape. Where other cities devolve into scene sectarianism, Halifax bursts with cross-genre vigor, laying the streetwork for steadfast artifacts like the
Khyber Compilation. Similar in spirit to the
Emergency Room comp.,
Khyber wins for the sheer spread of pressure-waves; from the red-lined raw-fi of Fuck Montreal to the casio-blown R&B of Pastoralia, it seems that every buckeyed freak managed to explode with colour beneath the Khyber’s magnificent arches. Includes many new-jacks to the scene, too! Proceeds from the tape go to future renovations at the Khyber. Bands included:
Cousins,
Soaking Up Jagged, Fresh Flesh,
Special Noise, Cactus Flower,
It Kills,
Secret Colours,
Fuck Montreal,
DUZHEKNEW,
Bloodhouse, Trash Heap,
Play Guitar,
Mean Wind,
Bad Vibrations,
Datacave, CROSSS,
Catbag,
The Rhythm Method, and
Pastoralia.
