On February 17, 2023, Vancouver-based pop-rock act The Vidos will release their brand new album, ‘Right In The Kisser!,’ via Rock Is Dead Records and 604 Records.

It’s been 18 long, long months, and the people of Edmonton were served a real treat on the weekend of August 20th, thanks to the massive Together Again Outdoor Concert Series, taking place at the in-field of the Northlands Exhibition Grounds, put on by Trixstar Events.

Bassist Dave Benedict of the Canadian band Default spoke with me recently about the band’s newest disc, Comes And Goes. Due to some unforeseen circumstances this album took several years to release, but fans of the band can now rejoice. Comes And Goes was well worth the wait. Default is preparing to hit the road in support of the record. Here is how the conversation with Benedict went.
