Frontier Ruckus release Orion Songbook Double Vinyl! Slowcoustic falls to knees, weeps joyously…
This makes me VERY happy. The double LP release of one of last year’s best albums released by anyone, anywhere – yeah I said it. Frontier Ruckus’ “The Orion Songbook” is now available on dual vinyl!! I just ordered my copy via Lower Peninsula Records and absolutely cannot wait. If you are a fan of…

Basket of Figs – Dead Language
Back again with the new EP from Basket of Figs. This Toronto phenom is known for her EP releasing (maybe an album upcoming….maybe…) and they all are self released and incredibly dark, stunning lo-fi experiences. I have said it before and I will say it again, you feel drawn into her voice, it is like…

Share’s “Slumping In Your Murals” to be released August 4th. Let the Countdown Begin!
Share, the latest band I have found from Halifax, Nova Scotia is set to release their new album this August. What is happening in the East Coast of Canada? These people are ridiculously talented, it could be our version of Portland/Seattle, me thinks. If I were you, I would start counting the days, as it needs to be…

What I’m Listening To This Weekend. You Should Be Too.
So what will be spinning around the homestead this weekend? Well see below for a breakdown of talent on tap – it is a bit all over the map (not really), but at least there is a bit of selection I think. This is all subject to change as I will be hitting the streets…

Auld Lang Syne’s “Midnight Folly” – A Pun and Great Music Intended
Auld Lang Syne are coming into their own and taking me along with them. The new album “Midnight Folly” combines Americana, Rock n’ Country and epic soundscapes. This is the band that brings it all to the table and gives you a great album with waves and surges of sound, backs off with the perfect…

Kathryn Williams and Neill MacColl unveil “Two” June 9th.
If there’s an over-arching idea to the album, it’s about how to capture a moment before it’s lost forever. The album was written, recorded and mixed in a little over two weeks- a miniscule timescale in these times of recording, re-recording and digitally manipulating every note of every part played. This is a record in…

After One Listen Review – Joshua Barton’s “Thanks, I Missed You, Too”
When Joshua suggested I listen to his album, I thought to myself – “Oh great, another musician emailing to tell me I need to listen to his music! Why do all these damn musicians…er, wait. Joshua Barton?” Okay, to be honest, I don’t mind getting emails recommending music – I am a music blogger, it…

Dame Satan’s “Beaches and Bridges” Brings Psych-Folk Back!
Just a little bit of Dame Satan’s ambient psych folk for your Wednesday. This is what happens when someone blends 60s acid with an ambient production. Sometimes too sparse to describe, sometimes way too trippy to think you actually understand it, but always worth a listen (or two). The band and new album dissected: “It…

Consider Me Pretty Much Onboard – The Sunparlour Players Might Be The Next Big Thing
Who are these seemingly over focused gentlemen before you? Why they are Toronto’s Sunparlour Players. Don’t let the photo of what looks like 3 complete strangers fool you, they are a tight knit and serious Alt-Folk-Rock outfit…and from what I hear the live show is about to kick your ass. I am still deciding overall…

Lest We Forget – Previous Post Follow Ups – Nathan Xander, Del Barber & His Name Shall Breathe!
Don’t forget about the past and things you once loved or enjoyed immensely. In this fast paced world, we can move past things too quickly and honestly not always give everyone/everything all the time it deserves. I have decided to start a post series that I will go back and do a “where are they…
