I Heart the Music: Your Online Source for Live Music Reviews and Interviews in Toronto!

A few technical difficulties can hinder a band during a live performance, however, iheartthemusic discovered that if the talent is as good as what we saw at Tattoo on April 9^th, then having to cut your set short only makes us more hungry. On the bill was the East coast’s Alert the Medic, These Three Cities and Bury the Bully. Alert the Medic were up first and they proved to be a welcome addition to the Toronto music scene. These guys were extremely talented with amazing guitar riffs and catchy lyrics such as “Hey kid, to the back of the line…” With such a big sound emanating from the stage, it was a bit disappointing when they had to cut their set short due to technical problems. If anything, that interruption had us wanting more and we are told that they are in Toronto recording, so that’s good news for us!

Next up were Toronto rockers These Three Cities. These guys were also another welcome addition to the iheartthemusic family. When they got into their set, we were reminded of  a little Passenger Action with their punk-style vocals and heavy guitar riffs. They added in keys and a banjo which complimented their sound. These guys already have a self-titled EP out and we are expecting more great things from them.

Finally, Bury the Bully hit the stage and blew us away (yet again). The crowd started to gather closer to the stage during their set and it was nice to see people singing along to some of their tunes. These guys are extremely talented and if you haven’t already seen them live, you are missing out. They only play a select few Toronto shows so get in on it when they are here!
