[adrotate banner="16"] [feather_share show="twitter, google_plus, facebook, reddit, tumblr" hide="pinterest, linkedin, mail"] Since its inception in 2009, Supercrawl has gone from an ambitious festival for which the sky was the limit to an increasingly corporate event that features cookie-cutter versions of indie-rock bands and little else.

I spent my most recent Friday night in a motionless crowd, watching the sun set over a single stage. Last week, Pier 4 Park hosted a few big names for a small festival with Supercrawl’s name slapped on it. From 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., artists such as Jessy Lanza, Jamie XX, and Caribou played […]

Toronto-based rock band Zeus are one of the most exciting acts out there. If at any point in your life you were a ‘classic rock fan,’ you’re sure to dig Zeus. And that’s not to pigeonhole the band either – for all their similarities to the rock n’ roll of yore, they’re still new, innovative […]
