Metalcore/post-hardcore band Lungless was formed a few years back in 2014. Since then they have released their debut EP "Inhale" with a follow-up EP "Exhale" with another EP release soon after titled "The Love That Remains". Sometime later they would release yet another EP titled "Tired\\Eyes", this being their most newest source of content, with shows set up for this next year coming up. The band goes on to talk about themselves and their music!


1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.

Lungless is somewhat of a "super group" of local Toronto bands. It all started after our old band Constellations called it quits. Our singer at the time had left to pursue a career and the rest of us weren’t really read to call it quits. So Nick, Greg and Myself started writing and with in a couple months we had written and recorded our first EP Inhale. Curtis our drummer used to play in a band called Drag The Lake, a Toronto Deathcore band, he joined Lungless just over a year and a half ago.

2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?

The band name was actually Nick’s doing. He was texting someone and his phone auto correct a word to Lung Less and he immediately messaged our group and said "I’ve got the name… Lungless" and we kind of all agreed on it right then and there.

3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?

Lungless is based out of Toronto Ontario, Canada. Our music scene is really in a weird state at the moment. The local scene is actually at a low point in my eyes from the power house it was 5-7 years ago. The metalcore scene is on the rise again which is nice but locals only shows are generally not as popular as they used to be. There is some really solid acts from around the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and those bands are: Cold Shoulder, Falsifer, Letdown, The Parallel, Throne to The Wolves, Words Like Wildfire, Certainty, The Northern and Perfect Limbs.

4. How would you describe your style?

Our style is a combination of metalcore, post-hardcore, Nickelback riffs and Budweiser.

5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

We have released 4 EP's to date; Inhale, Exhale, The Love That Remains and our newest release ‘ t i r e d \\ E Y E S’ all of which are available on online on what ever streaming service you prefer. People can expect aggressive, dynamic and melodic music when they chose to listen to any off our records. We’ve always chose to wear our hearts on our sleeves when we write music and we encourage our listeners to find their own personal meanings in our songs!

6. Do you have any new music in the works?

We actually released a new record called "t i r e d \\ E Y E S" on November 23rd! It’s available off our website or on any major music streaming service.

7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?

We are just finishing a little release run of shows around Ontario and Quebec. We plan to do some more local tours in early 2019 and we will be heading back down into the states in May with our friends in Samara. We are also planning on going out to the east coast in Canada in the summer and then some U.S. dates as well.

8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?

We are hoping to just play as many shows as we can and enjoy this as much as we can. The more people that know who we are the better!

9. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

All our music is available online via Spotify, Apple music, Google play or any other major streaming service. You can purchase digital copies through iTunes or through our band camp. Physical copies of our music is available on our website (www.Lungless.com) or through our bandcamp.

10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?

Make your own meanings. We try to be as honest and upfront as we can with our music so we hope that you feel something and make your own interpretations of that.

Just a mere couple of days away, this compilation of sorts, is just the right amount of content, with fresh takes of original pieces and some throwbacks as well. Like “Jingle Bells” by Doug Ferony or "All Around The World Christmas" by SEAY, if not other noted tracks like "Ode To Joy" by Les Fradkin and "Bells" by DocRock1007. With many other tracks as well "It's Christmas", by Doug Ferony and another by SEAY "A Christmas Heart", along with "Coming To Our Town", by Angeles and "Mary, Did You Know?" by Ann M. Wolf. All of these song selections being well grouped material that catches the essence and time of year and holiday spirit as well.

Each one is a lot like the timeless classics of years past. Being very upbeat, listenable and just a lot of fun that you will find each and every one of them, to be just as joyful and spirited with wholesomeness. Thus, the material just sounds very comforting, loving, and carefree. Upon hearing regularly all else, Christmas tunes are just a given thing when listening to music. It being not just the right timing for it, but the material is just filled with such meaning to it. You can familiarize yourself with the lyrical content along with the melodies of the music itself.

Take these array of tracks mentioned prior, each one being very different but still coming together as one, with the contents within. Each of which detailing the meaning behind the holiday and holidays in general. A lot of these tracks and album as a wholesome truths really, makes “Let’s Have A Rockin Christmas Vol. 3”, be a precise album that features an assortment of acts that each have variety yet class to.

Like for instance, it’s just the source material that makes it all enjoyable and fun. It becomes grounded that you feel it as a welcoming type of set-up. You get that comforting feeling again, hearing each and every one of these tracks said, or any of the rest upon it. Christmas is filled from all area’s that you just cannot get enough but plead for even more.

As a whole though, this album has much more going for it really. Not just being a compilation release but one that can be heard throughout that holiday time frame that is Christmas and the holidays in general, being one you can toss on and let it cool you over as you let it all in at once.

Duo twosome Katie and Caleigh who have been friends since long ago, decided that they would come together to create art in the form of music. Thus forth, the pop punk, progressive, alternative rock group called Tough On Fridays was made into what it was, exploding onto the music scene in only 2017. Releasing a few pieces of works, including most recent being a live album titled "Live at Texas Indie Fest". This album of sorts, consisting one of the singles that had made them take off called "Lush", with other likable tracks such as "Retrospect". Other notable tracks being noticed as crafty with well rounded material. But “Retrospect” and “Lush”, stand on a firmer grounding, that they are more pulsating, progressive in tone, that they keep the music kicking, that you never get tired of it. You partake in it, enjoying it, that you find yourself bobbing to the beat of the music more or less. When it comes down to it, the overall release may be short and brief, but that’s what makes it just as sweet. These girls in Tough On Fridays being rowdy with just the right amount of sass, make this album a whole lot more entertaining upon each listen.

New wave of Traditional American heavy metal band CORNERS OF SANCTUARY have guitarist Mick Michaels talk of the holidays for this time of year!


1. What are you doing for the holidays?

Mick Michaels: Like many people, I will be spending time with my family...enjoy each other's company, getting caught up and indulging in some great food. Food always seems to be the highlight. Food, family and fun... the perfect Holiday combination.

2. This Halloween season I did what?

MM: I watched a ton of fun Halloween movies with my family throughout October. We made a list and watched a movie each night… capping it off with “A Nightmare Before Christmas” on Halloween night.

3. Did you dress up this year?

MM: Absolutely! I dress up every year as a rock star... :)

4. What is your favorite Halloween candy or treat?

MM: Hands down it has to be the Baby Ruth bar. Snickers comes in as a close second.

5. What are you thankful for?

MM: Besides being alive and kicking, I am so grateful for my family. Their love and support is what keeps me going and has me believing anything is possible.

6. Do you have a favorite dish for Thanksgiving or do you enjoy everything?

MM: I'm definitely a sampler when it comes to Holiday meals... a little bit if this, some of that...to me it is part if the experience. But if I had the choice, I’d say go right to desserts.

7. Who's the one out of the band, that eats the most, when it comes to the holiday season?

MM: I would have to say Mad T can really eat like a champ… regardless whether or not it the Holiday season. He has a stomach of steel.

8. Do you or have you gone shopping on Black Friday, if so what did you find and buy? Or have you gone out to see the sights of the crowds?

MM: I am not a Black Friday guy at all… ever. I usually put up the tree and all the decorations on Black Friday. I like to avoid the crowds if I can. These days I’m an online shopper. One and done!

9. When it comes to the holiday season, does the band all get together, or does everyone do their own thing?

MM: The band does get together for a Holiday dinner. We exchange presents and all...it's a real good time. It's a chance for us to spend time together and not be music related. During the month of December, while we are out on the road, we try and take as many photos of Christmas trees as we can find in different places. It's fun and everyone gets into the spirit of things. It also makes the long drives interesting.

10. What is your favorite Christmas song to sing and why?

MM: I have always enjoyed "Holly, Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives as well as "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms. These songs just reflect the fun and purity of the season and I find them uplifting. Plus, I really dig the banjo in "Holly, Jolly Christmas".

11. One thing you really want for Christmas is what?

MM: To have a great time with my family. My family is my greatest gift. I can’t ask for anything more. But I can always use socks.

12. Do you still believe in Santa Claus? Enough so, that you would pay him a visit at the mall or other local events?

MM: Absolutely do! Santa is cool and he represents the magic of the season. If we stop believing in the magic all could be lost. And yes…I have been known to swing by a mall or two and have a photo taken with the big man.

13. What type of Christmas tree do you prefer white or green or your own version?

MM: I'm a traditionalist...go green!

14. Are you a late or early Christmas shopper?

MM: Early… The sooner the better. This allows me time to actually enjoy the Holiday happenings.

15. One thing you have to do on New Year's Eve?

MM: Eat sushi!

16. Do you have any New Year's resolutions?

MM: Not really resolutions, more like goal settings. Each year I write a list of things I want to accomplish for the coming year.  I put them on paper with the best intentions. Committing them to paper is my way of letting the Universe know what my hopes are. On New Year's Day the following year I look at that list and go through what was accomplished. Of course there are always things that didn't get done. But what surprises me most are the things that get done that you didn't expect. That is always exciting. That’s the magic of life.
