SOUND - BOYS OF THUNDER
by Adam Grant

With Hamilton primarily looked at as a haven for all things rock n’ roll, Boys of Thunder are a relative anomaly — well, sort of. While its co–conspirators mostly look toward punk and rock acts of yesteryear as their main influences, they sound about as hip hop as someone who would list Run DMC or Fresh Prince as acts they felt most attached to.
Featuring Matt Barrett and James Brown, Boys of Thunder is a two–man operation formed out of the confines of a local Purolator location. [ more ]

While fans await the band’s new CD, Dean Lickyer are set to spread the word with their first official Canadian tour that kicks off in Hamilton this weekend. [ more ]

the Second Congo War, was born out of an international
determination to end impunity for the perpetrators of genocide,
war crimes and crimes against humanity, largely in response to
the distinctly brutal events of the 20th Century. [ more ]
