The Bad Arts (Halifax, NS)
"...specializing in jagged, jittery post-punk that emphasizes texture and unusual rhythms. As my good friend and GeorgeÕs regular Chris Weaver noted, they're the quintessential Halifax band. True enough: they sweat their way through an energetic opening set and leave the crowd hungry for more...these guys are worth watching out for. " -Neil Bonner, The Argosy
