Formed in early 2005, Winnipeg, Manitoba's Sick City skipped a circumstances of the usual new-band grunt work and went consecutive to the (semitrailer) big time -- about immediately landing slots curtain raising for such acts as Papa Roach, It Dies Today, Bedlight for Blue Eyes, and From Autumn to Ashes, as well as touring with the Taste of Chaos and Warped parcel shows. Their five-song EP, Where Do We Go from Here, offered up a promising start and caught the pinna of Canadian label Smallman Records, which signed them up for the Great White North, with Trustkill handling releases for the stay of the planet. For their number one full-length, Josh Youngson (vocals), Joel Neufeld (drums), Dorian Paszkowski (guitar), Dave Grabowski (guitar), and T.J Stevenson (bass) entered Atlanta's Tree Sound Studios and recorded under the watchful eyes of veteran soldier scene producers Kenneth Mount and Zack Odom. The resulting 12-track record album, Night life, was issued in 2007.

Simon Cowell: 'Graham Norton is Incredibly Arrogant'

Simon CowellSimon Cowell has blasted Graham Norton after the camp television presenter criticized Britain's Got Talent.


Norton, who presents the BBC's rival talent show, I'd Do Anything, hit out at the use of "sob stories" on Cowell's show, citing 13-year-old contestant Andrew Johnston, who was bullied at school for wanting to be an opera singer, as one example.


Cowell, who also judges American Idol and the UK's X Factor, said Norton should've kept his thoughts to himself and concentrated on his own programme.


Simon said, "I read what Graham said and I thought it was incredibly arrogant.


"I don't get into that 'which show is better?' rubbish. He should think before he speaks next time."
