Part 3

Elena Gritzan, 2nd Year, Chemistry

Band: The Zolas
Song: Cab Driver
Album: Tic Toc Tic

I was introduced to The Zolas this summer, and I knew by the second song of their expressive piano rock album that it would become one of my favourites. These Vancouver based musicians sound-tracked countless walks to work, a few road trips, and lazy afternoons with friends. I present to you my cat's favourite song from the album (which she expressed by always rolling around during the piano breakdown towards the end of the track). For me, the summer of 2011 will always sound like a quirky pop song with a falsetto-ed chorus.

Part 2

Radhika Mathur, 1st Year, Social Sciences

Band: Bon Iver
Song: Beach Baby
Album: Blood Bank



Summer 2011 was one to remember--graduating from high school and transitioning into university 10,000 miles away would be a major milestone in anyone’s life. So I made sure I made good use of my time left back home in Singapore. I did so by spending as much time as possible by the beach, whilst listening to "Beach Baby" by Bon Iver. Though this was not intentional, I did chuckle to myself at the word play as I cycled parallel to the sun reflecting into the deep sea below. Summer ’11 will forever be one long sunny memory at the beach, baby.

Let the Summer Live On...

Stephanie King, 2nd Year, Criminology (on exchange study from Australia)

Band: Best Coast
Song: Bratty B

Album: Crazy For You



The most appealing aspect of this song is the way it tells so much in only a minute forty three. Appearing to be just a collection of current thoughts and emotions, it perfectly conveys itself quick enough to make me want to listen to it over and over again.

The school year is coming up fast!

Hello Demo Readers and contributors!

The school year is just around the corner, and as we desperately soak in every last ray of sun and late night outing (perhaps enjoying a concert or two?) we'd like to remind you of a little thing we call Demo Magazine!

You may have seen it on stand around campus, or at its home, the amazing Hart House :D

If this name rings no bells, well, please write us to learn more! We are friendly and always up for a chat with a fellow music enthusiast! If you are shy, we will encourage those talents we know you must have ;)

Interested in the music scene in Toronto and on campus? Eager to write a review, do an interview, or snap a few photos? Great at layout? We could use your talent!

We will have our booth at the clubs fair, right outside Hart House.
