On Monday, Half A Man guitarist Erik Rintamaki was among the performers at an acoustic open mic night at The Cozy Inn in Brimley, and while there, he performed a solo rendition of Half A Man's original song in memory of the late Michael Lemma, "Goodbye", which you can now stream at Erik's YouTube channel! Posted onto YouTube yesterday, it's a solid performance of an affecting ballad, though this is just the audio recording. Give Erik's solo version of "Goodbye" a listen below, and stay tuned for more from Half A Man's new lineup as the year rolls along!
Next up, ApocalyptiCDistroyeR frontman Jesse Middaugh posted another solo performance video onto the band's YouTube channel on Tuesday, and it's a cover of Metallica's classic "Fade To Black"! Jesse said it's a bit sloppy in the video description, but he pulls off the guitar part well enough, though it sounds particularly empty without a second guitarist joining in. It's a solid cover though, so check it out below, and stay tuned for more from Jesse and/or ApocalyptiCDistroyeR as it comes in!
Also in new video uploads: The YouTube channel for local television channel Shaw TV Sault Ste. Marie has begun uploading some older news and interview pieces that aired on the channel before their YouTube channel launched in September, and that includes a couple of metal-referencing videos! The June interview by ex-Free Beer frontman Christian Lemay with Dismembertainment owner Rich Moreland about the Rosie metal nights he promoted last year (also featuring fan comments and live clips of Bring The Misery & Winkstinger) was posted onto the Shaw channel at this location on Monday, and though I posted it to YouTube as well last summer, it's nice to see it reach YouTube on an official source! Among numerous other videos posted there (such as interview pieces on local acts RedD Monkey and Tea With Lincoln), the full original copy of As It Stands' interview with Christian from May was also uploaded on Monday, so finally, you can see the proper interview online rather than my digital camera recording of it off of the TV! Also featuring a performance of their song "Conception" at The Roosevelt Hotel, check out the full high quality interview with As It Stands below, and see much more from Shaw TV over the past many months at the above links!
And finally, here's this week's classic video! Once again, with a light concert weekend on tap, we're dipping into the general archives for our next video upload, and this week, I have a video from local old school hardcore quintet Destroilet to share! We've heard very little from them since the release of their debut EP last April, and they haven't played a live concert in almost one year, but they still have material online that deserves an audience, and in that respect, this week's classic video is a jam video of Destroilet covering The Ducky Boys' song "Cross To Bear (Walk Proud, Stand Tall)"! This comes from a jam session circa July 2009 featuring the band's entire lineup, and it was later posted to the band's Facebook group on July 25th of that year by guitarist Christian Foisy. The original video can be seen at http://facebook.com/video/video.php?v=107393187604 but since I uploaded it to YouTube, I corrected the lighting to make it noticeably brighter and easier to watch. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INTENDED!!! All credit for this video goes to Destroilet for their hard work, I'm just trying to share this video with a wider audience like it deserves!This isn't a bad performance, and though I'm not familiar with the original song, they show lots of old school hardcore aggression, and Mike Hull's vocals are clearer than one some other covers of theirs that I can remember! Their setup is odd though with all the members facing each other in the round, and it's easy for people to get blocked from view, but I can't complain too much. Check out Destroilet's Ducky Boys cover below, and hopefully they return to activity at some point this year!
That's all for today, but stay tuned for more news this weekend, including some overdue Woods of Ypres news! Thanks everyone!
