Wind Cries Mary

     Writing again for Canada, no reason for it, other than damn do they know how to make some good music.
Right now I'm jamming out to Wind Cries Mary, a group out of London, Ontario, and they are actually playing a show TONIGHT with a previously posted band (Bring Me The Author) so small world.


      The sound I'm getting is fast, heavy, groovy, well executed, and melodic all at just the right times. There is something that is detrimental to the success of a band that they have done, and I applaud these gentlemen  for the incredible quality of the recordings. The tracks are layered very well, nothing is being drowned out by guitar or vocals, very well done.
       Another thing that I still enjoy, is the use of sound clips, and gang vocals. Just things that should never die when it comes to the composition of music. Nothing here is crammed with fancy effects, though some are used, it is done tastefully.

      I'm not just talking about one particular song here, I sat and listened to the recent uploads, but if I had to chose a favorite, I would say it is "Syrian Standoff" from their 2014 release titled Infinity (be sure to get a hold of that somehow)

Aurelia

I want to show around this band that nobody knows of but you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD take the time to fall in love with their music just like I have.



They are Aurelia, and they hail from Windsor, Ontario,
follow them at their facebook, here.

"What comes out of Windsor? A silver lining?
That silver lining left a long time ago, and our silver lining now is that it might just come back one day.
No.
What comes out of Windsor is imperfect.
It's filth.
And grime.
And pain.
A shortness of breath from all the shit in the air.
And the overwhelming sensation everyone wants to get the fuck out of here.... well, we do at least.
That's where our music comes in. 
We get out by letting all of you in.
We share just as much with our city as we do with the music we make."

Described as "sloppy hardcore" they really seem to have things nailed down when it comes to their sound.
No song will leave you thinking "was that the song I listened to before?"

Working hard all the time, currently they are looking for places to tour around Canada and the reasonable United States because they are releasing their 3rd(?) ep quite soon.

Take a listen, and share them around to your friends, and keep checking in for more bands, and more from Aurelia.
