A graduate of Humber’s journalism program has gone on to find employment at the Toronto Metro newspaper, and is also co-founder of the local rock band Corners.

“It is kind of a juggling act,” said alumnus Laurie Wilson.

“Basically, I’ve dedicated my weekends to the band,” said Wilson, who works as a Toronto Metro editor on weeknights and for the past year has written, recorded and performed as a founding member of the Toronto-based band.

“We’re finally going to be able to release this music that we’ve been working on,” said Wilson.

“We want to keep working on getting out new material,” he added.

The four-member band consists of keyboardist and vocalist Matthew O’Halloran, Wilson on bass, guitarist Mark Anderson and drummer Calvin Castellino.

Wilson said the music Corners produces is influenced by indie rock, grunge, alternative genres, Radiohead, Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails, among others.

The band has had a long road reincarnating themselves from multiple older projects, including a band called Il Attire, said Anderson.

“We’re gaining ground right now,” said Anderson. “The next step I guess is a full-length album.”

Anderson and O’Halloran both said an album and a tour would be a suitable next steps for Corners, and O’Halloran added there is a possibility of producing a music video.

Corners will be performing tomorrow night at Bovine Sex Club on Queen Street West and will be performing in support of a CD release January 13, 2012 at Lee’s Palace on Bloor Street West.

Corners’ music can be streamed at facebook.com/wearecorners or at wearecorners.bandcamp.com.
