Tape Stacks
Summer may be waning but don’t try telling the members of Tape Stacks the news as they can easily counter this information with their brand new EP titled Six Rooms, out independently this week. This charming release is a shimmery time capsule filled with tunes about sunshine, thunderstorms, wanderlust,
Son Little
The first thing you notice on Son Little’s “Lay Down,” is a golden, buttery smooth vocals pairing with harmony that’s just as sweet. The song just seems to exist on another plane, it breezes by before you know it, a fleeting intimate moment between two lovers. The vocals,

raccoon fighter
Yesterday, I instructed you to shake your butt. Today, Raccoon Fighter wants to countermand that order, saying “I don’t want you to shake it no more.” Well, when you listen to their new tune “I’m So Proud,” off their just-released EP Spiral Flag, I say to you: Good

Big Scary
Hardly a band to be nailed down by style, Australia’s Big Scary duo of Tom Iansek and Jo Syme crafted this quirky pop song, Organism, that’s got a dance vibe with little stabs from the deep end of a saxophone. In my head it’s reminiscent of a
Yuck
As soon as you press play, and the distortion kicks in, the fuzz blows into your ears, there’s a pop connection on this new track from Brit rockers, Yuck. I don’t think Yuck is being held back at all from losing their former frontman, “Hold Me Closer,” is

Or, How I Spent My Canada Day. Seriously, what could be more appropriate than watching one of your favourite Canadian bands (note correct spelling) on Canada Day, from the floor of a hockey stadium? I guess I could have been doing it while swigging a Kokanee or shoveling poutine into
