@CalgaryDarren, Alain Dupuis, Scott Gregory and I have been listening to and discussing albums monthly for 10 years. We're taking a look and listen back this month! Thanks for the fun gents. And @BkkGreg was part of it for the first couple years.

@DarrenWHaynes My home! Looks like Crowbush. Enjoy. Go for a long walk on Brackley Beach.

Bad Brains has to be one of the most interesting bands of all time.

[The Sonic Collective @soniccollective]

In June we tried to find out how Bad Brains Rock for Light influenced the Foo Fighters' debut. Have a listen to where we came in: https://t.co/sg5bv9U4q2

[Darren Scott @CalgaryDarren]

These will be great albums to revisit!

[The Sonic Collective @soniccollective]

'This Album Influenced That Album' is up and it's The Rolling Stones, Exile on Main St., influencing The Black Crowes, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. Have a listen why we picked these and check them out: #foofighters #badbrains https://t.co/1ySrCzRoMQ

[Darren Scott @CalgaryDarren]

I loved this album, the others, not as much. Check out our review.

[Darren Scott @CalgaryDarren]

I found this so damn hard. What 10 albums would you have chosen?

[The Sonic Collective @soniccollective]

Jan 2024 saw us take on something new and really fun. We talked about 10 albums we would take to a desert island. Check out what our picks were and why (it's diverse!): https://t.co/VsPnGqx7Er

[Darren Scott @CalgaryDarren]

I’m way stressed trying to narrow down to 10. Yikes.

[The Sonic Collective @soniccollective]

Our pick for Jan 2024 is a different concept - Desert Island Albums. Check it out and play along: https://t.co/hTWMqZ7WLe

[The Sonic Collective @soniccollective]

Check out the new album Instrumental Obscenity by Jamie Ruben. Fun music from a talented Canadian : https://t.co/IiaThc6MGq #jamieruben

[Darren Scott @CalgaryDarren]

A great look back on this album. The Jay-Z story is worth checking out. Have a listen.

[The Sonic Collective @soniccollective]

Check out what we thought about our pick for Nov 23, Jay Z's Black Album: https://t.co/AOqCP8tTs1 #jayz

[Darren Scott @CalgaryDarren]

This was a key album for the punk rock movement, but how does it age? We had really mixed thoughts on this one.

[The Sonic Collective @soniccollective]

Check out what we thought of our pick for October 2023 - MC5’s Kick Out the Jams: https://t.co/arWb7lJS0J #MC5

This podcast was a great conversation with a great friend. I love how these are more about the people than the business. Thanks Mark.

[Gnu Craft Spirits @gnucraftspirits]

A huge thanks to our great friend Mark Kondrat from @ABBeerFestivals and his candid Let's Meet for a Beer (or gin!) Podcast. Our COO Darren Scott @CalgaryDarren shares his life journey and the story of starting a new 'Gnu' distillery in Alberta. https://t.co/DCx2jqvTem

I’m actually amazed we’ve been reviewing influential albums for over 8 years now, and just finally chose The Velvet Underground.

[The Sonic Collective @soniccollective]

We're finally having a go at The Velvet Underground & Nico. Learn about the album and have a listen: https://t.co/pVw2PgtuHl #thevelvetunderground

[Darren Scott @CalgaryDarren]

HUGE GNUS!! Gnu Craft Spirit’s flagship gin, “The Gnu Normal London Dry Gin,” has been named Best Canadian London Dry Gin at the 2023 World Gin Awards, one of the ultimate endorsements in the world spirits industry. We are so excited!
