Hannah: Well, it happened. Halifax Pop Explosion has come to an end for another year. I regret only being able to go out for two of the four nights, but I’m grateful for the nights I was able to make it out. I’ve heard a lot of great things about the shows I missed. If […]
Jessica: Once again, I apologize for the iPhone photos, especially since they’re so far away. The crowds were really into the shows and gave me dirty looks every time I tried to get a close-up.

The crowd at Olympic Hall had mellowed out significantly since Friday night. I mean, there’s no better way to cure a St. Paddy’s day hangover than with loud music, right? Arsoniste: The minute I heard Rachel Sunter, I could tell last night would be… slightly different… than Friday. Arsoniste’s bright, almost ethereal brand of pop-rock […]
