May 21st, 2013

On this week’s episode of RapCity, we visit Bata Shoe Museum’s Out of the Box exhibit and trace the origins of sneaker culture and how it intersected with hip-hop, featuring sketches from the greatest designer ever, Tinker Hatfield, to the greatest hip-hop sneaker designer of all-time, Kanye West, and his collaboration with Louis Vuitton.

See Rich Kidd guest host RapCity

May 16th, 2013

On this week’s episode of RapCity, you may have noticed T-RexXx wasn’t in front of the camera. Well, seeing as he’s more like the world’s party animal, and not just Canada’s, our globe-trotting host had to step away from the camera. Luckily we were able to get Toronto’s own Rich Kidd, aka Chocolate Boy Wonder, [...]

Watch Damian interview Vampire Weekend

May 16th, 2013

Arguably the biggest indie band in the world at the moment, New York’s Vampire Weekend released their hotly tipped third album, Modern Vampires of the City, this week. A few weeks ago, Damian spoke with Ezra Koenig (vocals/guitar) and Rostam Batmanglij (guitars/keyboards) about how different it was making the third album compared to the first [...]

On The Wedge tonight Damian chats with Vampire Weekend

May 15th, 2013

This week on The Wedge, spring has sprung and it fucking sucks because well… it sucks. But what doesn’t suck in my opinion is the new Vampire Weekend record. The controversial (for a few hater types) new record feels really of the moment and more than just a collection of mp3 drops stuck on a [...]

Watch Swollen Members talk about chart success & border woes

May 10th, 2013

West Coast hip-hop crew Swollen Members have been kicking it for 20-plus years now. But thanks to a prolific stream, a strong online presence and a hungry fan base in the Axe Warriors, they’re still a force to be reckoned with. Earlier this year, their latest album, Beautiful Death Machine, debuted at #3 on Nielsen’s [...]

Watch Titus Andronicus co-host The Wedge with Damian

May 10th, 2013

If you aren’t familiar with New Jersey’s Titus Andronicus, which they think you aren’t, they are, according to themselves, “America’s #1 punk band.” That title might be them being all tongue-in-cheek, but those guys are always up for speaking their minds, be it serious or not. When they came to Toronto on their recent tour, [...]

The Wedge interviews White Lung

May 10th, 2013

ICYMI, Vancouver’s White Lung are one of the more exciting bands in Canada to have made a splash over the past few years. Led by vocalist Mish Way, the four-piece received universal praise for their second album, last year’s Sorry, a 20-minute blizzard of frenetically shredded riot grrrl/hardcore-inspire punk rock. Having recently toured all over [...]

Download Adult Swim’s free garage rock mixtape, ‘Garage Swim’

May 9th, 2013

This week saw the release of garage rocker Mikal Cronin’s excellent second solo album, MCII. One track that isn’t on that album is the fuzz-drenched “Better Man.” And that’s because Cronin donated it to the latest release by Adult Swim. Aptly titled Garage Swim, the free 15-track comp collects previously unreleased songs from all of [...]
