three bands to look out for during nxne

North By Northeast starts today in Toronto, what bands are you seeing? Multi-dates music festival can be pretty overwhelming; and deciding which few bands to see out of hundreds can be tough! So, to help all you concert goers out, I have narrowed down three bands you must see during NXNE!

1. The Nymphets

The Nymphets was the best act I saw during CMW a few months back. Their fast tempo and ultra energetic sets will win anyone over.

You Look So Good [wicked-cool song]
Dreaming [wicked-cool song]
Murder [wicked-cool song]

The Nymphets is playing at Comfort Zone on Friday at 11pm


2. A Northern Chorus

Their 2005 release, Bitter Hands Resign, featured some beautifully composed music. A Northern Chorus will sure produce a grand atmosphere with their heroic music.

This Open Heart
Watershed Divide

A Northern Chorus is playing at Sneaky Dees on Thursday at 12am


3. Sydney

Incredible band... fans of Taking Back Sunday’s Tell All Your Friends must check out Sydney... that is all I have to say!!!

Got Some Purple Stuff... Hey, Sunny D
Seething

i heard she said she’s got a problem but she’s only seventeen

I am beyond impressed with this band called Sydney. They sound like a high profile screamo band out of the Long Island/New Jersey area. But in reality, they are five kids from Burlington, Ontario. Their self-titled debut, Sydney, is probably the first album I have heard in a long time that resembles closest to Tell All Your Friends (one of my favorite records of all time)... especially on tracks like "Got Some Purple Stuff... Hey, Sunny D", "Get To The Chopper" and "End Transmission". I can’t say the music on Sydney is original, but the band did an amazing job at combining the sounds of numerous well established emo/punk bands. If you like the bands such as Over It and Taking Back Sunday, you will no doubt enjoy Sydney.
