Brooklin, Ontario's Critical Hit! were the first up at The Bovine Sex Club for CMW 2017 on April 21. Their sound brought me back to my hardcore-loving high school days, back when TOHC meant something and FTW meant something different.
Critical Hit! laid out their furious riffing, frantic drumming, massive distortion, gang vocals and grimy bass to warm us up for a night of heavy rock.
Check them out:

CMW 2017: The Balconies at Adelaide Hall - Concert Photos
The Balconies never fail to impress. Their songs, their sound, their performance, their presence are all incredible. Jacquie Neville's vocals and command of the stage are wonders to behold. Liam Jaeger's guitar playing is the perfect counterpoint. The rest of the band keep it all under control and keep it all solid as can be to complete the package. Jacquie wasn't feeling her best at this particular show, but you'd never know it from the near-unhinged performance she gave. Always awesome!
Their set focused on their latest album, Rhonda, but we got a special treat in the form of encore classic, and one of my all-time favourite songs, "The Slo".
Check out some of their music and make sure you go to their next show. You won't be disappointed.
