Northern Groove Magazine: Second Edition Out Now!
If you've been going around town within the last week, you might've already seen the green cover of the new issue of the Northern Groove magazine! It's been awhile since the last one came out, but this second edition will be the start of a whole batch of magazines within the next year. If you haven't already picked up your copy of the new magazine, you can grab one at Simply Music, Marc Joesph Clothing, Cultural Centre, Cosmic Grounds, Systems by Trail, and many more of the sponsors. Inside of it you'll find information on guitar maintenance, a whole page on the Lido Theatre, and a list of events. You can expect the next magazine to come out within the next month or so, and there will be many more issues to come! Support local music!

FSJ Punk Rock - Fallen Idols
The punk rockers in Fort St. John are currently recording their full-length CD! The CD will be 14-16 songs long, and the earliest it will be done is by end of August. It is yet to be named since it is just in its starting stages, but you can bet it will be something very clever that shows off the band’s sense of humour. When it comes to this CD though, these boys are all seriousness. You can expect get attention to detail for each song and high quality recording. Tony Frattura, one of their guitarists, is recording the entire CD within the comfort of his own home. The rest of the band is made up of Shawn Warwick, Rhyan Kelly, Chad Corno, and Chad Shrader. They have been together for about 6 or 7 months, and within that period of time have played shows in Dawson Creek with Wauntid and recorded their four-song EP. The new CD will be the real deal costing around $15. When they have a CD release show you can bet you’ll hear about it here on Northern Groove.
