HM3

Toronto, ON Punk Rock act Hotel Murder have a released a new self-titled single that will be the first track off the bands upcoming third EP to be released in 2020.  The Track, “Hotel Murder”, is written about the infamous first American serial killer H.H. Holmes. Holmes built a Hotel later coined the Murder Castle for its specific purpose of providing him with a place to kill his victims and opened its doors to tourists visiting the nearby World’s Fair in 1893.

This edifice became Holmes’ booby-trapped paradise. The space featured soundproof rooms, secret passages and a disorienting maze of hallways and staircases. The rooms were also outfitted with trapdoors over chutes that dropped Holmes’ unsuspecting victims to the building’s basement.

The basement was a macabre facility of acid vats, pits of quicklime (often used on decaying corpses) and a crematorium, which the killer used to finish off his victims.

(new single) Toronto punks cover Spice Girls with their new single!

450x450bb

Toronto punks The Bare Minimum released new single and new video for Spice Girls cover Spice Up Your Life.

An unhinged take on the Spice Girl’s 90s hit, The Bare Minimum add years of cigarettes and cheap coffee to ‘Spice Up Your Life’. Despite layers of distortion and amplifier buzz; the latin-pop skeleton of the original remains intact. With a nostalgia inspired music video, it’s up to the listener to interpret as parody or tribute.

Recorded by The Bare Minimum in a broom closet
Mixed by Devon Lougheed

Rising out of the basements and bars of the Toronto punk scene, The Bare Minimum channel but subvert skate-punk into something noisy and new. Raised on CRTC content and DIY punk, The Bare Minimum use huge riffs to break up the tedium of modern music. With 2 LPs and 3 EPs under their belt, The Bare Minimum have shared the stage with Meat Wave, No Fun At All, and Adrenalized. Showcased by Moe Berg, NXNE, CMW, and Pouzza; The Bare Minimum are at home at a basement show or a festival stage.
