I came home one day to find a bag of Nosh & Co Buffalo Wings & Blue Cheese flavoured potato chips on my countertop. F'in eh. I've been thinking about them for a while, but didn't crack the bag because I didn't want to go off phone notes for the review. So it's finally time. They smell like buffalo sauce. The ridged mid weight chips have a nice crunch. The first chip I had I felt the seasoning was pretty weak so I was sort of disappointed. But as the saying goes, it gets better. The first one appears to have just been a dud while the remainder have relatively generous seasoning. The flavour is your standard buffalo wing and blue cheese; a bit of buffalo hot sauce bite, slight sweetness and a relatively good dose of blue cheese (like 66% hot sauce, 33% blue cheese [+/- 10%]). These chips are quite fine, and at a 130g bag they're looking out for your health, hah. I'm one chapter away from finishing Inner City Pressure: The Story of Grime by Dan Hancox...
At the end of 2023 I saw Quit It! play in Winnipeg at the Handsome Daughter. I typically try to catch the opening bands, because I like being introduced to new music. One of the opening bands was Leon's Getting Larger, LGL (not sure if they ever abbreviate their band name like that [it reminds me of LWL, the Jersey pop punk band from the late 90s early 2000s, I'll Always Remember the 6th is such a banger {LGL doesn't really sound much like LWL, other than a bit of off center pop sounding...where was I going with this}]) were really fun to watch and they produce a sound that I don't hear very often coming out of Manitoba (maybe I just typically run in a different musical circle?). Anyway, Leon's Getting Larger put out their first album late last year, You Be Good Now ...which saw a vinyl release earlier this month (February 2025). I ordered a copy and it came to my door late last week. This album's great. Leon's Getting Larger has a couple singin' voices...
