To bang or not to bang
Being a heavy metal fan comes with certain dangers — and that doesn’t include the risk of possession by the devil.
No, these dangers are far more of the brain, neck and spine variety and the culprit is… headbanging.
Sarah spoke to some health professionals about the risk of ‘banging for Consequence Of Sound’s Component section.

BiWay memories
Last week I made a brief appearance on my friend/colleague’s The Strombo Show to request some thrash metal and talk about BiWay shoes.
The song I requested was The Prophecy 23’s “Party Like It’s ’84.”
To hear the song and my bit launch the player below and head deep into the third hour of the show.

One of the biggest pop songs of the past couple months has been the posi-anthem “All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor.

Tanya Tagaq
Tanya Tagaq just capped off a Toronto-Montreal whirlwind of sellout shows further proving she’s one of the most dynamic musicians in Canada right now.
This seemed like a good enough reason for Sarah to further explore her recent conversation with the Polaris Music Prize champ.
For this piece Sarah and Tagaq went deeper into politics of eating seal meat.

Darkness On The Edge Of Town
Sarah recently wrote a story for Consequence Of Sound’s Aux.Out section about how she learned to love a post-irony music world via Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness At The Edge Of Town.
There is, to be fair, a lot more to it than just shunting off old Beck songs. In the story, and in real life, she confronted some school bullies from her past.
The end result: singing “Badlands” at the top of her lungs.
