Canadian,Indie-pop??,indie 31 January 2009

So I forgot an artist I meant to put on Friday’s post yesterday – The Most Serene Republic.  My apologies to any Canadian music frenzy that ensued due to this obvious omission (and I had 3 other “Arts & Crafts” bands!!).  Oh well, to make it up, here are three …

 'round the nets,Singer Songwriter,Unsigned,lo-fi 31 January 2009

Kinda skipped a week for this whole ’round the nets post, so I have most likely missed a fair bit.  From what I can find, some highlights for me are listed below.

Untitled Records lets you know that they have love for Bon Iver, but not 100% love…see here.
Captain Obvious dropped …

 Canadian,Down-Tempo,Electro-acoustic,Folk,Indie-pop??,Singer Songwriter,indie 30 January 2009

So in a lame attempt to put a post out, I give you a mish mash of Canadian artists over the past few years.  Some newer than others….some better than others…overall a pretty decent Friday I must say.  Now, don’t get all “these are simply the mainstream indie-Canadian bands” on …

 Alt-Country,Folk,New Album,indie 29 January 2009

A new tune from Kentucky Nightmare that I am currently enamored with is “Caroline & I” from the new release “Take Her Favour”.  I hope you will enjoy it as well.  I also think I like them because of the description of the creating process of the album as such:

After …

I have previously posted on husband&wife (yes, there is no space in the band name – it is like its one word) and I have been advised that today (Jan. 29th) there will be an appearance from h&w on the indie hit-maker Daytrotter.  This is exciting, I think the new …

 Best New Music,Folk,MySpace,New Album,Singer Songwriter 28 January 2009

The 10 original songs, written during 2007, capture tales of small town frustrations, hard fought triumphs and a constant need to be moving partly inspired by the motorway that carves through the centre of their hometown, Glasgow. The album was recorded with producer Malcolm Lindsay (Willard Grant Conspiracy, The Delgados) …

 Americana,Folk,New Album,Singer Songwriter,indie 28 January 2009

A busted leg, a year plus recovering and two years driving a taxicab came between Casey Meehan’s Violet and his new project Jitney. Kind faces, cruel faces, always going somewhere, were the wildflower seeds planted in the cracked leather backseat that grew into these songs. 6pm to 6am, 6 nights …
