In The Future...The Besnard Lakes, We Are Wolves, Viking Metal Act Amon Amarth, And More!

Montreal’s The Besnard Lakes have booked a spring Western Canadian tour in support of their much-anticipated sophomore record, The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night (available March 9th via Outside Music). The seven-city trip includes a visit to the Albert on April 28th.

Plus, the band will proudly display their dark, sprawling pop on March 23rd’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, as the SNL-comedian-turned-host continues to give support to the indie ranks (Japandroids rocked the show last month).

Speaking of the Albert AND Montreal acts, post-punk troupe We Are Wolves play there on April 21st.

The Armchair Cynics drop by the Pyramid on March 24th.

Local singer-songwriter James Struthers is releasing his latest CD, Nadia, there the night after.

Korn still got some life (evidently), appearing at the Convention Centre on April 3rd.

April 17 at the Garrick sees Viking metal band Amon Amarth rock the joint w/ Eluveitie.

Also at the Garrick is Snocore, a March 29th event featuring Protest the Hero, The Set, Hawthorne Heights, and Elias.

And then on April 21st, catch A Day To Remember, August Burns Red, Enter Shikari, and Go Radio.
