NEW
GUESTBOOK posted
by shane on January 11th
Our old guestbook seemed to crash, and was full
of spam. This new one, with no pop up ads, or ads
at all will be good for now. Please do not post shows
or mp3 links here. They will be deleted, and your
IP will be banned. We have a message board for stuff
like that. Anyways, the guestbook can be found here,
or by scrolling to the bottom portion of this page.

15,000 UNIQUE HITS posted
by shane on January 11th
We are currently receiving over 15,000 unique
hits per month, and are looking to double that number
by the summer. We need you all to help spread the
word. Write it on your desks at school, in the washroom
stalls, scream it at people in the streets, and bands,
talk about it on stage! Together we can make this
site the largest in Ontario, and that will get us
a whole lot more. More interviews, more photos, and
hell, alot more write-ups. Thanks for everyones support
so far, I couldn't have asked for anything more.

NEW POST PONED posted
by shane on January 1st
As you all may know, for those of you who arrived
at the Opera House last month for the Brand New &
BoysNightOut show, it had been cancelled, and moved
to January 4th. However, for some odd reason, the
Opera House was wrong. The show is NOT tonight. I
talked to the booking company from Brand New, and
they said it will be sometime in February. I will
let you all know when the show is actually happening.
