About Me

"The evening kicked off on a rather bland note with Edmonton’s Audio Rocketry. Seemingly trying their hardest at an Against Me! routine, the folk punk trio were light on the punk, giving a vibe more Great Big Sea goofy than Gainesville, FL rebellion. To be fair, they at were at least united in their vision of shanty-like sing-alongs, and a handful of the crowd was into it, but it was a slow, unnecessary set that weighed down the start of the night." -Josiah Hughes (Exclaim) "This free show at Filthy McNasty’s on Saturday would be the perfect date opportunity this weekend for Valentine’s Day. Just think: a free show, and “cheap ass pints” according to audio/rocketry’s MySpace page, is slightly lighter on your pocketbook. Plus, your girlfriend doesn’t really want a fancy dinner, flowers, chocolate, and a night together—she wants to know that you’re being thrifty." - The Gateway. "It was better in the shack." -Nicholas Churchman
