The Grind is back for the first show of the new year, and we're serving up a bunch of kick-yer-ass tunes and conversations with 4 Bands.
Ottawa Correspondent Marcus recently had a chat with Steve Rawles from melodic-skatepunk legends Belvedere about their recently announced reunion (following a 7 year hiatus) and upcoming shows in Canada, Europe (including Grozerock), & Brazil.

Chris calls up a few friends to find out what's going on with their bands in the new year.
We'll be hearing from the guys in the Edmonton folk rock trio Audio Rocketry as they prepare to embark on a Canadian East Coast / Ontario / Quebec tour as well as the recent re-release (& Vinyl!) of their Piloting a Vehicle of Audible Expression album.
As well as a conversation with Crowley from the Toronto based Skacore/HipHop/Punk 4 piece Ghetto Blaster and Unknown Records.
The Grind also recently helped The Plummer Presents bring Strung Out to Calgary to play the Distillery for a kick ass New Years Eve Party.
We popped backstage to bug the guys from Strung Out about the Music 4 Cancer project, and to see what's coming up with them.
Also on the bill for that night was Torches To Triggers, a new band from Calgary comprised of founding members of Inventing The Wheel, This Is A Standoff and Obey The Fist. We'll give you a bit of an introduction to this band as they prepare for their full length debut album out later this spring.
As I type this, video of the second last band performance from this event is finalizing it's upload and you can watch this concert in pretty much it's entirety below, or in our Full Sets player on the main page.
(We're just finishing up editing on Strung Out's Set this week)
