- Sault Michigan's own Integrated System of Machines will be among a 32 band lineup at this year's Hogg Bash 5 in Bangor Township, Michigan, which is located in the southwestern corner of the state. It sounds like one hell of a party, including a pig roast, a camping environment, lots of music, and even professional wrestling! It may be too far, but you can get more details at this location! Hogg Bash 5 takes place September 4-6th!
- Remember when I mentioned that Georgia metal duo Jucifer were looking for a show here on August 2nd? Well, they got the booking....but it's in Timmins. So yeah, we ain't getting them. But hey, if you're in Timmins, you'll get some good metal, so go check them out! Don't worry though, lots of metal coming up for us Saultites this year!
- You may have noticed that I removed the Lorax/Callahan concert date that was scheduled for August. Well, according to their MySpace AND Facebook pages, the show was moved to July 18th...this past Saturday. Now, I don't mean to sound misinformed, but I can't for the life of me remember ANY officially announced details on the show being moved, or any news and feedback about it. Nothing that I've seen at least. Am I wrong, did Lorax and Callahan actually play at The Oddfellows on Saturday? Well, if they did, then I fucked up, and I will try my best to make sure it doesn't happen again!

LOCAL CONCERT ALERT (Old Roger), Plus New Local Bands, Videos, And More!!!
Finally, we've got some news to share! It's been a few days since the last real "news" post, and I got some good stuff today, beginning with a LOCAL CONCERT ALERT!!!
Vancouver-based punk metal band Old Roger will make their way to Sault Ontario on August 26th for a show at Coch's Corner! According to their official MySpace page, the show will take place at 8:00 that night! Chances are there's no cover either. Sounds like it might be a good show, Old Roger don't sound too bad! Though it might be easy to pass them off as punk, they do have some metal riffs and solos, and they're definitely metal enough to mention on the SMS! So stay tuned for news on that show as I hear it, and go if you get a chance!! Check out some of their original songs on MySpace!
Next up, we have TWO new local bands to add to the Local Metal Band Links! And first up, it appears that the old As It Stands lineup (minus frontman Justin Pregent) are back with a brand new band, known as Out Of The Mouth Of Babes! It appears the singer of this new band is named "Josh", but I have to confirm more details. According to their official MySpace page, Out Of The Mouth Of Babes have done some recording at idioRECORDS, who've also worked with local pop punk band For July!
Also, the band has posted a studio quality original song, entitled "Take A Walk With Me" on Myspace, and trust me, the song's more brutal than the title might suggest. It sounds pretty good for hardcore! Here's hoping for some shows and more exposure for these guys, they're talented enough, so let's see how big they can get! Check them out on MySpace, and join their official Facebook group too!
Out Of The Mouth Of Babes' page is now in the Local Metal Band Links to your left!
Next up, we've got some videos online from a recent local show! Jesse Souliere has uploaded three live clips of local metal band Necropolis onto Youtube from their show on Thursday with The Class War Kids at The Oddfellows Hall. Though the videos are only in black and white, the quality isn't too bad, with a great angle of the band and the crowd! Looks like their performance went real well, and here's hoping for many more! Clips are up of them performing their originals "Night Riders" and "Defiling Despondence", which you can check out at this location, but to show you guys a song you havent seen here, check out this video of Necropolis performing the song "Stand Before"!
While we're on the topic of videos, local hard rockers Stillbroke have posted an "ad" for their upcoming EP "Never Enough" on Youtube! It features the band riding on top of their van, and it looks like they're having a bit of fun doing that! It also features band info and some plugs for stuff "coming soon"! Check it out at their official Youtube account, or, right here, cause I've embedded it right below! And when I hear more on the EP or upcoming shows, you'll know where to find it!
And finally for today, three items about some upcoming shows, one which is out of town, one which was moved out of town, and one which apparently already happened:
