CMW 2017: Bitch Falcon at The Bovine Sex Club - Concert Photos

Just the sound check sounded awesome and unique. That gave me my first hint that Bitch Falcon was going to be something special; something heavy and melodic and intense. They came all the way from Dublin, Ireland to dole out their unique brand of heavy rock noise. And it was good.

That grime from the guitar and bass along with the solid insistent drums. Oh. My. Fuck. The power and intensity and originality was incredible. The vocalist's attitude and the tempo shifts. It all came together to absolutely blow my mind. I officially love this band and I can't wait to see them again.

On April 21, at the venerable Bovine Sex Club, Bitch Falcon officially became my favourite discovery of CMW 2017.

Give them a listen and don't miss a chance to see them live!

"Syncope"

"Clutch"

"Breed"

"Wolfstooth"

CMW 2017: Critical Hit! at The Bovine Sex Club - Concert Photos

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.
