Rush – The 80’s: “Signals” & “Grace Under Pressure”
Signals would be Rush's 9th studio album and follow-up to the monumental success of Moving Pictures only a year prior. It would go gold and platinum status in November 1982, only two months after release. The album would reach #10 on Billboard. It found greater success in the UK Albums Charts,
Rush – The 80’s: “Permanent Waves” & “Moving Pictures”
Rush smashed into the next decade with a new, radio-friendly concept on the 1980 release Permanent Waves. This album, and the one behind it, are in this writer's opinion, peak Rush. The near-perfect blend of rock and roll with synthesizer sounds would propel Rush's music into the 20th century and
Rush – The 70’s: “A Farewell to Kings” and “Hemispheres”
Riding the wave of commercial success from 2112, Rush released their fifth LP, A Farewell to Kings, in 1977. Only a year after releasing their first multi-platinum album, Rush traveled to the UK and recorded this gem in Wales, marking the first time the band recorded outside of Toronto. The album
Rush – The 70’s: “2112” Album Review
After Caress of Steel met with mixed critical review and mediocre fan reaction, the record label begged the rocking trio from Toronto to abandon the idea of another musical concept album. Undaunted, our heroes plunged on and released an album that other concept albums are now measured by... 2112.
Rush – The 70’s: “Caress of Steel”
I decided to do this album as a separate article from the next one, 2112, for one simple reason: They both deserve their own review. These two were concept albums that shaped the future of Rush as a band, and how their fans would expect future albums to be. As far as their recording label is
Rush – The 70’s: “Rush” and “Fly by Night”
Perhaps it's destiny, but Rush debuted their first album the same month and year I was born. Being a fan, for me, was in the stars. So let's dig in to this debut album. The entire thing is good, and even though drummers would change after this recording, it still sounds enough like the modern Rush
Rush – 40 Years of Geek Rock-n-Roll
Immediately following a gig in 1973, three bandmates went straight to the cheapest studio they could find in Toronto and cut their first album. At this time, the band was Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and John Rutsey, and they called themselves Rush. “The first stab at the album was done in eight hours

‘Passenger’ Review – A Haunted House On Wheels
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the

“The Furious” Review – Martial Arts Mayhem That Levels Up The Genre
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
