He was a founding member of the local band "The Journeymen", and played extensively in Eastern Ontario from 1998 until 2008.

| Take Shelter Cevilain - On Death And Dying
|
| What Comes After Cevilain - On Death And Dying
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
Bio: Much like a storm, CEVILAIN has swept onto the scene and left a poignant and lasting impression. Inspired by titans of the genre - Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and Thrice - CEVILAIN channels their creative energies into captivating tracks whose impact is only surpassed by their energetic live performance and their ability to engage their audience. Members Cliff Menzies (Vocals/Guitar), Joel Lefebvre (Lead Guitar), and Eddy Fox (Bass) give every ounce of themselves night in and night out… This is no more evident than on their 2020 release: “On Death & Dying”. The concept EP is based on the Kübler-Ross model, better known as the “Five Stages of Grief”, with each full-track highlighting a stage (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance). The first single off the EP, "How It Ends”, showcases CEVILAIN’s ability to hammer home searing instrumentation with soaring melody and focused harmony. Released in October 2019, the single has become the bands most successful release to date – streaming for over 300,000+ plays! More CEVILAIN here: https://www.cevilain.com/ |

| The Toilet Paper Song Mike & The Pandemics - s/t

| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
Bio: This is a really short lo-fi British Invasion kind of tune, based on the #JabMeJustin hashtag I've seen on the Ottawa subreddit. I've done the WFH since March and the pandemic has pretty much been the only inspiration for me artistically. Thanks for listening! More Mike here: https://mikeandthepandemics.bandcamp.com/ |
| Gone for the Weekend Corduroy Moon - Gone for the Weekend
|
| Everyone's Having Fun Corduroy Moon - Gone for the Weekend
|
| LOCAL MUSIC!
Bio: Both of these songs were written a while ago, around 2015-2017. I'm happy they're being released and people get to hear them now. Thematically, they're pretty personal songs dealing with love, isolation, connection, infatuation and loss. In that sense, I think they're fairly relatable; everyone has felt out of place at a party, or been haunted by the memory of a past relationship. I wanted to release them together because they're pretty similar in this way. Both explore the way time changes your memories of another person, and how you relate to those memories.
