The Diableros have always had the unusual ability to both show and grow; their jumpy beats and awkward vocals are way too in-your-face before you have the chance to actually hear what's going on, let alone absorb it, but eventually the structures unravel. The band's new EP on Outside Records, Old Story, Fresh Road, sticks close to this mandate, but a fresh lineup and streamlined recording process have also added a new focus and a clear direction.

When AUX TV launched online on November 24, 2008, it had an honest, simple mandate to support Canada's exploding music scene, inclusive of genre and level of exposure. Right out of the gates, their programming included brand new music videos, exclusive interviews and performances, and full-length programs featuring some of new music and media's foremost aficionados and figureheads. Most of it was produced on modest budgets with the resources, hard work, and the tapped-in creativity of a young group of brains and bodies who were either already part of the scene they were documenting or who were just as eager as AUX to jump headfirst into the momentum. In one week, on October 1, AUX TV will emerge from its nerd cave inside the internet and expand onto basic digital cable, where it will make instant Canadian TV history by being the first network to make a web-to-air transition and where it will deepen its still incalculable—but already promising—impact as it strikes while our country's music-community iron is so very shit-hot.
