I had a lot of fun putting this together for @exclaimdotca and really enjoyed hearing how these artists fell in love with the game, and what they expect for the Jays this year.
Baseball starts tomorrow!
Surely, there won’t be any shortage of takes and critiques, but these thoughts from one of the film’s language consultants may be the most considerate and fair. Something to keep in mind when/if you take in the film:
Martin Scorsese explores the ugly side of American culture in 'Killers of the Flower Moon' from a place of sensitivity, understanding and care. Our 9/10 review: https://t.co/CdkdJGSxPK

@IncendiaryHC were one of the first bands that got me into heavy music, and their latest record reminded me
why.
Catch the review of the new album over at @exclaimdotca
Harnessing their signature sound and political charge, @IncendiaryHC's new album 'Change the Way You Think About Pain' is a powerful call to self-realization. Our 8/10 review:

My latest for Exclaim is live!
@GELhc has quickly become one of the most impressive forces in hardcore, and their debut LP perfectly demonstrates why👏👏👏
With the arrival of debut LP 'Only Constant,' @GELhc officially plant their flag, establishing themselves as a pummelling force in the scene (@ConvulseRecs). Our 7/10 review:

Oh baby, The Flatliners are back.
I wrote about the new album for Exclaim! and was delighted to be reminded of why this band has been so good for so long.
'New Ruin' serves as a testament to the @theflatliners ability to mature and evolve collectively. It's a tall task for any band, and especially one that's been together since their teenage years. Our 8/10 review (@dinealonemusic) https://t.co/z7EGXMsQyE
Last night in Toronto, hardcore punk darlings @TURNSTILEHC emphasized the themes of their recent album 'GLOW ON' — the importance of togetherness and bonds forged via live music — with a cathartic, communal concert experience. Our 9/10 review:

#TheNorthman is Robert Eggers' most accessible film yet, telling a familiar story while retaining the director's signature attention to historical details

While their music and live banter are filled with self-doubt, @puptheband's live show remains bold, brash and hilarious, featuring old and new hits. Our review of last night's Hamilton show: https://t.co/WoTVsn8IQq
.@cancerbats and @cbktweets (and openers @AWILHELMSCREAM) made every moment count last night in London, ON, hitting the ground sprinting as if no time had passed. Our review: https://t.co/UbqUaPlWCQ
@JeffPassan Sources close to Chappie say he’s “absolutely gutted” Die Antwoord won’t be joining him in Toronto, but understands, at the end of the day, it’s a business.
