Review :: Various Artists – The Compilation of Hope!!

From the compiled danglings of Jesse Locke:
The Comp of Hope starts off with a serious wallop: the 1-2-3 whirligig of Vancouver’s Damages, Nova Scotia’s Minivan Halen (snagging the prize for Best New Band Name) and Toronto’s Place Hands, three groups with distinct yet equally imposing approaches to the post- / proto- / avant- / eff-it-let’s-just-get-rowdy hardcore continuum. Bart Records founder Kevin Stebner seems to favour the tuff gnarl stuff, with seven of the comp’s 10 acts setting their phasers to beatdown. From the spazzy attack of Abbotsford’s GSTS! to the rastafried “turbo jamz” of Edmonton’s Slates, Missisauga’s Whiskey Priest and unfuckwithable label faves Gift Eaters closing it off, this cassette could provide the perfect aggro soundtrack for any hesher’s backyard mini-ramp sesh. The softer side of weird Canadiana is also represented with the Strokes-meet-a-blown-out-Casio addictiveness of Swwords (the former project of this very site’s founder), Montreal’s math-pop dangereux duo Special Noise and a live jam from the inimitable dd/mm/yyyy. Another top-notch tape release from Bart, with awesome foldout liner art (front & back) from Calgary’s Heather Kai Smith.
[Levin’s Note: This has the most links of any review on Weird Canada. Which means you get to virtually travel across Canada, all thanks to Bart Records. Benjoy!]
Des ballants compilés de Jesse Locke:
(Traduit par Maya Keshav)
The Comp of Hope commence avec une beigne grave: le tourniquet 1-2-3 de Damages de Vancouver, Minivan Halen de la Nouvelle-Écosse (qui gagne le prix du meilleur nouveau nom de groupe) et Place Hands de Toronto, trois groupes avec des approches distinctes mais également imposantes à la gamme post-/ proto-/ avant-/ on-s’en-fou-tombons-la-chemise hardcore. Kevin Stebner, le fondateur de Bart Records, a l’air de préférer les choses dures et affreuses, vu que sept des 10 actes du comp mettent leurs phaseurs à beatdown. De l’attaque crétine de GSTS! d’Abbotsford jusqu’au “turbo boeufs” rasta de Slates d’Edmonton, Whiskey Priest de Missauga, et terminant avec les imperturbables chéris des labels Gift Eaters, cette cassette pourrait fournir la bande-son parfaite aggro pour la session mini-ramp chez-soi de n’importe quel hesheur. Le côté plus doux du canadiana bizarre est aussi present avec l’entraînance Strokes-se-marient-avec-un-Casio-explosé de Swwords (l’ancien projet du fondateur de ce site-web lui-même), le duo math-pop dangereux de Montréal Special Noise et un boeuf live de l’inimitable dd/mm/yyyy. Un autre enregistrement cassette de premier ordre de Bart, avec une couverture fantastique (avant & arrière) de Heather Kai Smith de Calgary.
