What better way to judge local rock bands than by sending out the hardest rocker of them all? Ross Gower of The Poisonous Glass trotted around Canadian Music Week checking out shows from The Darcy’s, Teenage Kicks, Hope Atlantic, and Modernboys Moderngirls all for Mushy Pony. If you think that’s a little much for one writer – you clearly don’t know who you’re dealing with.

Like Tom Cruise’s fly-by in Top Gun, Canadian Music Week opened in Toronto with a Low Level Flight of its own at the Gibson Warehouse. With the rain pouring and the Steam Whistle beer flowing, Ryan Malcolm and his band of rockers took to the stage for a kick-ass private show independent of CMW. Starting off with their energetic “Cast Diversion”, Malcolm and Co. got the lucky fans and industry big-wigs amped with a preview of their new album, Through These Walls.

At their CD release a couple of weeks back, Adam Beer-Colacino and the Joyful Sinners were greeted by an audience all asking “who are these guys?” like a broken record inside the bar. The Cowgirls, at first, were no exception.
