As you may remember, local hardcore quintet As It Stands hit the studio at the beginning of the month for some quick sessions at Metalworks Studios in Mississauga towards their forthcoming EP (as confirmed at the end.) Well, now we can see some of the happenings from the sessions, as the band have posted a studio vlog onto their YouTube channel, and you can watch it below! Clocking in at almost 10 minutes long, the video features assorted clips and footage from the sessions, including lots of in-studio clips that show the tracking and instrumental tracks already recorded. Only Justin Pregent is shown on camera actually recording his parts, which did include their "Stay Together For The Kids" cover! Outside the studio, we get everything from John Mignacca's acrobatics to a skateboarding & dancing chicken, so this is worth checking out even more so! The video clips are mostly focused on Justin & John, with the other members not getting extended time on camera. Also, the dimensions of the video are small & odd, flipping from narrow to wide views constantly, leading me to think a smartphone camera filmed everything. Solid stuff though, nice clear audio quality, and I really like what I'm hearing! Check out the vlog below, and stay tuned for updates on this EP!Secondly today, here's one more Woods of Ypres video from their Saint Paul, Minnesota show on May 14th! Yesterday's post went up before this final video was uploaded by frontman David Gold onto his YouTube channel, but it's especially worth a look on it's own anyway! It's of their set-capping song "A Meeting Place & Time", and the quality and sound is as good as yesterday's videos! The only real difference is if you like the song more or less than the others, and regardless, it's a great song! Plus, there's a little surprise for an "encore", but what's the surprise? Watch and find out, as here's Woods of Ypres playing "A Meeting Place & Time" last month in Minnesota!
Thirdly, here's some newly discovered footage of local metal quartet Late & Loud! As their hiatus stretches into it's second month, band updates continue to slowly roll in nonetheless, and some of that is thanks to their YouTube channel! Now most videos there are from assorted "episodes" of random band happenings that were posted in October. Though having some musical moments, they don't have much in terms of full band performances in them, but they're worth a look! My main reason for bringing them up today is that they posted some live concert videos from a show at Foggy Notions onto their YouTube channel in March! One is of their original "Never Again", which was previously put on their Facebook page around February. Solid hard rocker, and good quality, though they really need a full time singer. I'm embedding their cover of Witchcraft's "Chylde of Fire" here because it didn't make it to Facebook before, so we haven't seen it beforehand! They have the song down well though, and Jonathan Tiberi's vocals, though limited, are used well! Awesome guitar work from Jon & Brendan Christie too, check out their "Chylde of Fire" cover below (and more at the above links!)
And finally, remember the Unleash The Archers-headlined concert at The Roosevelt Hotel on June 4th? Well, I don't have videos from it, but here's the next best thing! Two connected videos are now online from the time surrounding this show, including an official video from the band itself chronicling their tour through "The Astrowaste"! Uploaded onto Unleash The Archers' own YouTube channel on Wednesday, only about 20 seconds of this 3 minute tour vlog of sorts has a local relevance, but it's interesting nonetheless, as it features bassist Zahk Hedstrom smashing a guitar over Dismembertainment owner Rich Moreland's back! Why? I don't know, but they look like they're having fun! Check out the footage at the video embedded below or at the above links, and the local guitar carnage takes place 1:17 into the video. A second angle from a phone camera was uploaded that same day into a 10 second clip on the new Dismembertainment YouTube channel, so click here to see! Give both a look, especially the full tour video below, as it features three plus minutes of entertaining happenings from their tour, accompanied by a very solid song of theirs! Check it out!That's all for now, but I have more news and notes to get to very soon, including this week's classic video, the return of monthly polls, and yes, our "Soo Stories" review, so keep an eye out! Thanks everyone!
