Patrick Stickles has returned to the bar’s backyard with a Guinness, finished marveling at the absurdity of a Pringles commercial in which a man dies with a chip can stuck on his hand, and is meditating on the interconnectivity of all life on Earth — bound by the will to live — when a dog looks his way.

“He’s looking right at me, so I gotta be telling the truth,” exclaims the frontman for New Jersey/Brooklyn punk stalwarts Titus Andronicus. “Come on, you can’t do better than this!

Titus Andronicus consider the inherent ties between pain and love, while still enjoying some rooftop rocking at sunset, in the new music video for “Give Me Grief.” The track will appear on the New Jersey band’s upcoming album, The Will to Live, out Sept. 30 via Merge.

“Give Me Grief” is a swinging bit of sax-inflected power-pop/rock that finds frontman Patrick Stickles dueting with former Titus Andronicus drummer Eric Harm (who now fronts his own band, Eric Harm and the 100). The video was directed by regular collaborator Ray Concepcion,...

New Jersey rock and roll favorites Titus Andronicus are back with a new song, “(I’m) Screwed,” which will appear on their upcoming seventh album, The Will to Live, out Sept. 30 via Merge.

“(I’m) Screwed” is a classic down-but-not-yet-out anthem packed with soaring guitar solos and big gang vocals on the chorus. The song arrives with a music video, directed by Ray Concepcion, that puts the band on parade as they play the song on the back of a flatbed truck rolling through the streets of frontman Patrick Stickles’ hometown Glen Rock,...

Once again, Peepers, a film I saw on Sunday at the Just for Laughs Film Festival, is a proof that in Canadian cinema, there are no taboo topics. As a matter of fact, Peepers adds itself to the growing list of smartly written Canadian comedies that deal with sexual desire.

A group of peeping toms led by Steve Sherman (Joe Cobden), a loser who lives in his mom's basement, enjoys taking Montreal's chilly rooftops during the night. Through the unshuttered windows, they want to have a glimpse at a “hottie hookup,” a “panty party” or a “big booty buffet”. However, the peeping toms' life is about to change when Annette Fulvish (Janine Theriault), an academic interested by "male gaze", enters the domain of peeping, which is dominated by men.

At the same time, some members in the group begin to question their interest for peeping. Bobby (Ricky Mabe), the youngest member of the group,...

Yesterday, The Cultural Post learnt through Twitter that the teaser for the upcoming feature film Peepers is already online.

While the film's director is Seth W. Owen, the story was created by the imagination of Automatic Vaudeville, a Canadian comic trio made of Owen, Mark Slutsky and Daniel Perlmutter.

The story follows a group of voyeurs - or "peepers" (Joe Cobden, Paul Spence and Howard Bilerman) - who like to sneak across rooftops with binoculars at night. Moreover, they have an eye on women. However, an university student (Janine Theriault) plans to give to the "peepers" a taste of their own game. With a plot like that, needless to say that the film's story has been compared to Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window.

Besides, the film also stars Jessica Paré, Ricky Mabe and Amy Sobol.

Finally, a theatrical release date has yet to be announced for this comedy that was shot in Montreal.

Two days ago, the comedy Peepers had its world premiere in San Jose, California during the Cinequest Film Festival and its story was created by Automatic Vaudeville, a Canadian clique made of Seth W. Owen, Mark Slutsky and Daniel Perlmutter.
