Jucifer are a female fronted 2 piece doom/stoner/noise metal band that represent RELAPSE records and hail from nowhere,,, yep you heard me, nowhere. They sold their house, bought an RV and now their home base is the road.

There's a Rolling Stone magazine quote that I think speaks perfectly of the band...

"JUCIFER has been defying the limits and expectations of two-person music since 1993. Known for brutal beauty and fiery intensity on stage, remarkable dimension on wax, and the most daunting wall of amplification ever wielded by a single guitarist, Amber and Ed bleed Doom. Pop. Noise. Majesty."

Hard Charger @ Pirates Pub

Date of Show: Sat, August 9, 2008
BAYCORE.NET Presents:
LIVE @ BLACK PIRATES PUB
AUGUST 9, 2008

HARD CHARGER (From Fredericton)
ORPHAN CHOIR (From Windsor)
with:
D.E.A.D.
Bloodpool
Rad Kids
Quitting Life
Bleed For Summer

$7 ALL AGES

Hard Charger is a band that lives by a very basic songwriting formula that not enough self-proclaimed "metallic hardcore" bands are putting into good use: start with a riff + riff + riff + riff + end with a riff = 1.5 minute song.

They're also a small-town band that suffers from having very little local support in their hometown of Fredericton, New Brunswick, where "mosh parts" metalcore reigns supreme in the scene. However, the band is constantly on tour all over Ontario and especially Quebec, filling up bars and clubs with their ultrafast take on D-beat hardcore à la Tragedy and His Hero Is Gone, and having shared the stage with bands UK Subs and Inepsy.

What sets Hard Charger apart from those bands, and probably why they cannot find a place in their own punk show community, is their taste for speedy, fist-pumpin', southern-flavored punk, much like Zeke and R.E.O. Speedealer. Songs "Line Wars" and "Hard Charger Death Stomp" sound heavily influenced, but are coupled, instead, with a billowing roar care of vocalist and friendly giant, Tery Terror.

They also share the attitude and subject matter. The tracks "Thunder Toke," "Beer Bong" and "Overdose Boogie" are a little too obvious in their immaturity, but the music behind the words is just cause for a sloppy, drunken mosh pit (if you're into that). Hard Charger's self-titled release is 14 tracks long, running just under 18 minutes in length, refusing to slow down for a single second. Even though it holds too many songs to qualify as an EP, the production value runs just under demo quality, which ultimately hides the true power behind Tery's heavy guitar tone, that can be truly admired when seen first-hand.

However, I do agree that Hard Charger's brand of "crust 'n' roll" ain't for everybody. In a time where every heavy band coming out of the woodwork sounds the same, it's refreshing to see a band of three dudes tour successfully playing a genre that has long been forgotten by today's underground music scene. But despite that, leather jackets, spikes and back patches have never been my cup of tea.

Hard Charger's first release is impressive in its tightness, speed and agility, but can be appreciated much more when seen live. But if you're into big riffs and the sound of drum kits being destroyed (literally!), you've found your band.

3) Prepare for a 30 min set.

Please note, if you arent a metal band, I have ZERO interest in putting you anywhere near this show.

[b]Unter Null[/b] (Seattle) blends powernoise, industrial, and dance together, but it's nothing like ordinary club music. Erica has a sick voice, and puts on a sick live show as well (check the pictures on myspace).

[b]C/A/T[/b] (California/Seattle) is a rhythmic noise/ambient industrial project started by film and sound engineer Ben Arp. It's danceable, with a noisy distorted edge.

Adaptive Reaction and Spasmod wil be opening to add some guitar-driven industrial rock to the mix.

Synthetic Entertainment ([b]Left Spine Down[/b]) is interested in bringing a lot more shows through Thunder Bay, so lets keep them coming back.

This is one of the biggest punk rock tours to come through Thunder Bay in a long long time. The names on the bill say it all, there's various genres of punk rock from all over North America and a tonne of entertainment on one night.

I will post the myspace links for all the bands and a facebook link shortly.

ATTENTION: please note that this is at the Outpost because with the students back, its likely to help this show out a whole lot. I have spoken to the Outpost and they understand that there will need to be a lot more freedom for the crowd at this show. They agreed to be cool and thats that.

Cryptopsy & Origin @ Kilroys

FACELESS HULK
NORRIS[/b]


$TBA

Yep.. here it is, the other announcement for you all.

Cryptopsy's new singer and material might be taking everyone for a little curve but essentially its still Cryptopsy and its still Flo fucking Mounier and they will be playing a lot of old shit on the tour so anyone that wants to add "their new CD is gay" or whatever, stay home and be elite. Those that want to witness pure fucking brutality, come on out. And I actually heard the whole new CD and its hardly bad by any standards. "Worship your demons" on the myspace site is SICK.

Obviously the main attraction for many is going to be ORIGIN and thats no secret, they are easily in the top 5 or maybe even top 3 extreme metal bands on the planet and they deserve an audience. It hasnt fully set in yet that I just booked this band and when it does, Ill likely do a standing back flip which will likely end up with me in the hospital or something.

The Last Felony are going to knock people's shit right in. Fans of Quebec tech/death stuff will LOVE this band. There's a link at the bottom, I strongly advise checking them out before hand. You will not be disappointed at all.

Last time around I lost a fair share on Cryptopsy but I honestly feel that the metal community is stronger now and anyone that wants to help out with this show is welcomed to do so on their own accord. Please leave any and all facebook event pages to me for now though.
