The Handsome Ned set The Name is Ned, is a welcome introduction to a nearly forgotten Canadian singer/songwriter. When Handsome Ned died in 1987 at the age of 29, he left behind a wealth of recordings, from studio tracks to live recordings and radio appearances. The Name is Ned consists of a fairly even mix of originals and covers and an impressive array of guests. For listeners looking for a taste of the kind of raw and earnest performance Handsome Ned was capable of, the live recordings hold an edge over the more polished studio tracks. However, it's the original songs that display the depth of Handsome Ned's talent. Standout tracks include "Put the Blame on Me," "That'll Be the Love," "One Hundred Miles of Open Road," and "You'll Never See Midnight." The Name is Ned is a worthy reminder of a talented Canadian artist. - All Music Guide (4-star review) Handsome Ned CDs available now at the following Toronto Locations: Monster Records, 664 Yonge St Babel, 123 Ossington (N. of Queen) She Said Boom, 393 Ronsesvalles & 372 College Vortex. 2309 Yonge St. (at Eglinton) Sonic Boom, 5165 Yonge St. (N. of Sheppard) Rotate This, 620 Queen W.

C.J. Sleez
Rock Action
$12.98 USD [ buy now ]
"There was something about girls that my mother warned me about. Something about being nothing but trouble, and CJ Sleez looks like she’d break your heart, though in a way you’d probably thank her for later. Regulars on the local circuit, CJ's crew are surprisingly tight for a trashy glam band. Really tight, actually, with fast rips through rad riffs. The liner-note material is not only heavy on the eye candy, but also creative with its inclusion of games to keep you busy while you give Rock Action a spin. The 10 songs are over very quickly, but you'll immediately give this disc an encore. Rock Action is perfect for getting ready for a night of debauchery, gets your blood going and gives you that anxious edge needed for an eventful evening." - Matt Wesley (Eye Magazine, Toronto) |

In late 1978, we were searching for tapes of ART's late '70s Vancouver punk band, "The K-TELS" for the "PuNk HoLE oF FaMe Series".

They set out to find that edge of a bed thrill of a cheap motel, too many butts in the ashtray, too many tracks & a bottle of Jack. Major label refugee ART BERGMAN on 6 & 12 string guitars & vocals, CHRIS SPEDDING contributing shading & colouring on electric gtr & master producer PETER MOORE with his million $ microphones set these BERGMAN compositions free. |
