Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Exchange Rate

Now that the Canadian and U.S. dollars have essentially the same value, perhaps it’s time we look at other things we now have in common with our adorably polite neighbors to the north. Like hard rock. Traditionally, Canadian bands have rocked about half as hard as their American counterparts. But as Nova Scotia’s the Trews would tell you, that’s no longer the case. The five-time JUNO Award nominees’ bruising guitar assault has landed them on stage with some of hard rock’s heaviest hitters, including Guns N’ Roses and Kiss. This Wednesday, April 18, at Club Metronome they’ll share the stage with one of Vermont’s rowdiest, Spit Jack.
