This is the little page I'm starting up to blab about whatever local music related info I can dig up. This is my first attempt at a page of this nature, so bear with me.

There isn't exactly a very big extreme music scene in the Toronto area, with only a small number of 'good' bands, and few studios or labels that I'm aware of. So, I started this page to try and inform myself of the various places in this area that into the same stuff I am, as well as to gain some much needed exposure.

There are but three quality bands that come to mind which are from the Toronto area (or Southern Ontario) for that matter. Those three bands being: Mundane (located in Toronto), Shallow North Dakota (from Hamilton, ON), and Fence (Brampton/Toronto). Mundane has released to cds thus far, the first being 'Seed' on Raw Energy, and the second being 'Feeding on a Lower Spine' on Hypnotic Records. Shallow North Dakota has some demo material that I'm aware of, and two releases: 'Auto Body Crusher', and 'This Apparatus Must Be Earthed', both of which I believe were released through Sonic Unyon Records. Sonic Unyon carries another band I am familiar with, that being Kittens. These guys are good as well.

Mundane has a web page located at this site:
