Setting sail to Randall’s Island.

Our favorite tracks of the year, (almost) all in one place.

Great year for music, terrible year for everything else.

We don’t deserve it.

Death has always loomed over Canadian post-punk band Preoccupations.

After their strong debut found them playing to passionate crowds, controversy over the Calgary band’s original name caused them to retreat and regroup. Now they’ve returned with a new name and a second debut record that might be darker—and more powerful—than the first.

Photographer Rozette Rago hung with the band formerly known as Viet Cong as they prepared to take the stage at Expo Park on Sunday.

A good music festival for a bad year.
