Bravestation have a new EP entitled IV ready to see the light of day next week. This is a band I’ve been fond of for a few years now, but why should you care? Well, if you head out into the springtime sunshine with the lovely sounds of their new single Somewhere We Belong bouncing(…)
Ambition. Yes, every modern MC has this in abundance. Just look at all those “Rise & Grind” tweets, I mean they wouldn’t tweet such a thing if they weren’t getting up and getting after it, right? That’s great, but what is it that most modern rappers are striving for? Money? Fame? Many unflattering tattoos? A(…)
Yes today is almost over, but I’m guessing you could use a boost to get yourself through the rest of the day, and the week for that matter. I might suggest you get that boost from Gets in Car the sparking, frayed electrical wire of an EP from Sackville NB’s Yellowteeth. This foursome plays a(…)
I know nothing about Boxed Wine except that I enjoy their name much than I should and they are from New Jersey (about which they say “It’s not as bad of a place as you think”). In general the notion of boxed wine seems to be one of those jokes I find way funnier than(…)
Fire x Fire? Yes please. After that snowbomb-filled weekend I’d suggest you bring out all of the fire and try to melt some of these ludicrous snowbanks back down to functional size. Regardless of their inability to blowtorch my driveway clear, a new song from Toronto four piece Fire x Fire (or Fire By Fire)(…)
For some reason, it seems like this might be the first post we’ve dedicated to the solo, original work by Halifax producer extraordinaire Ryan Hemsworth. Pretty sure we’ve posted some of his songs before, but he’s an incredibly prolific guy, so it seems odd that it’s taken us this long to feature something like his(…)
I had every intention of doing a Polaris gala post. I really did, but the night seems best left as a memory. Long story short; go Kathleen Edwards, Cold Specks, and Handsome Furs (Alexei’s sincere thank you was matched only by Katheen’s coinage of the term, “shit parade.”) Oh, and Feist is an absolute monster(…)
What, it’s September already? Well based on the speed in which I get posts up these days, I’d better start crackin’ on my “Records I Missed in 2012″ posts if I’m to get any of them up. The first of these is Hearts from Winnipeg’s Rob Crooks. I’ve had this album on my phone for(…)
I don’t want to bum you out, but this may be the only precipitation-free day we get to enjoy this week. Well, that’s if you believe the weather-telling device or person of your choice, and as someone who’s in the geriatric division as far as music blogging is concerned, I certainly don’t. And if you(…)
Well now, it seems like ages since we’ve posted any Prairie hip hop, and while this might not normally be an odd occurrence, it’s quite a drought for us considering we were once THE home on the web for Edmonton hip hop (not really, but kind of). Luckily, Regina’s Def3 comes to the rescue with(…)
