Out Today! NEW JACOBIN CLUB 15th Anniversary EP “Left Behind”
Out today, Tuesday, May 22, 2012, Saskatoon, SK punk rock horror band The New Jacobin Club release their 15-year anniversary EP “Left Behind,” that features four songs from the band’s 1990s catalog and is now available as a pay-what-you-want digital purchase and as a limited edition CD with vinyl record sleeve-style packaging at the following location here.
NJC recently kicked off their Western Canadian tour in their hometown of Saskatoon and will be performing in Edmonton, Calgary and Wainwright, AB this coming week with their seven-piece shock rock entourage that includes Mistress Nagini (The Snake Woman) and members of the Angry Teeth Freak Show, such as Raunchy Rabies (the girl with the iron stomach and unbreakable skull).
About EP: “Left Behind” features songs from a studio session where the NJC re-recorded, re-orchestrated and re-envisioned songs from the 1990s. Two of the four songs were chosen because they were staples in the NJC‘s first live sets in 1996 and had never received an official studio treatment or public release. This EP sees the current line-up forge a link to the group’s past while still maintaining their colourful elements of power metal, punk and gothic rock. “Left Behind” will also set the tone for some new material that will be introduced live on stage this May on their Western Canada tour.

0 June 16 – Toronto – THE MATADORS w/ Hellbound Hepcats, Evil Elvis, Butch Haller & His Chesterfield Ramblers
Blacktooth Entertainment presents a night to end all nights with the one, the onlyThe Matadors on Saturday, June 16 at Hard Luck Bar(772 Dundas West). Joining the Kings of Horrobilly for this epic show will be The Hellbound Hepcats, Evil Elvis, Butch Haller & His Chesterfield Ramblers and more unrivalled acts yet to be announced.
As creators of the horrorbilly genre, The Matadors have been wreaking havoc across Canada since the mid-90s, delivering a live show they describe is “like being in a funhouse that has been set on fire” and who could possibly complain about that?
“Since this is our last year on earth we urge everyone to bring a helmet to the shows of 2012 due to the fact that each venue will be left in a bloody mess once we blow your fucking minds,” says frontman The Great Hooch. And considering June 16 will also be the birthday celebration of The Turbo A.C.’s Jer von Duck, things are sure to get real messy, real quick.
Delivering a music-filled night that will put all others to shame for the rest of eternity, or at least till the end of this year when the world will finally implode, this is one show you don’t want to be crazy enough to miss.

About: After several months of deep thinking and more than half a decade of live shows, line-up changes and the constant shake-ups in the music industry, the four musicians behind Bolero decided it was time for a big move – a change in name and mentality. Ladies, gentlemen and metal Vikings, we present to you, VESPERIA formerly known as Bolero.
Continuing to derive influences from thrash, black metal and traditional folk music, Vesperia are not leaving their epic orchestrations, throat-crushing speed nor ear-piercing guitar riffs behind, rather, they’re intensifying each element, adding more energy to their live shows just when fans thought they couldn’t get any more amped up and prepping to release their new demo as Vesperia, entitled ‘The Swordsman’.
Converting listeners and critics across the globe into believers and preachers of symphonic Celtic death metal since 2007, it’s clear VESPERIA has no plans of slowing down.
