PUP is still riding high on their acclaimed self-titled album from last year, touring around the country and world. Currently they're on the VANS Warped Tour, and they just released an animated video for their song "Dark Days", which features a LOT of Canadian spots.

THE DEARS ARE BACK! It had been four years since their last album, and while we heard a solo effort from Murray A Lightburn a couple years ago (Mass:Light), the gang is back together.
A grand, sweeping song that encapsulates everything to love about The Dears called "I Used To Pray For The Heavens To Fall" comes from Times Infinity Volume 1 (which means yes, there is a vol 2 due out next year). The full album comes out September 25th, but check out the first single below.
I think a lot of us were sad to hear the news of Two Hours Traffic's disbanding but perked up a bit when we learned that Liam Corcoran would be making his own solo music.
Well, that day has come, and his first single "Let It Be Now" from the upcoming album ROM-DROM has been released. August 28th is the date the album is due, but until now, enjoy the single, linked below.
Twin Within released their debut album Horizontal Lines on Hidden Pony Records two weeks back, and I've been listening to their single "Bernie" a lot lately.
They list The Beach Boys and Scott Walker as their influences, and I almost get an Alan Parsons Project "Eye In The Sky" vibe from the vocals on this song, but definitely more upbeat.
"Bernie" is apparently about Bernie Taupin, whom I definitely had to google to find out about (he collaborated a lot with Elton John). But you don't really need the backstory to enjoy the song, take a listen:
LADYFRND consisted of Peter Ricq (HUMANS, Gang Signs) and Yuki Holland, and fittingly their last EP is titled Farewell.
The 6-song EP can be streamed by clicking here, but I chose to highlight "Geist" as it was my favourite of them all for the haunting yet upbeat vocals.
The Washboard Union just released their latest EP the other day titled In My Bones back on July 10th.
The single from said EP, "Some Day", has a pretty awesome video to go along with it. Take a look and listen below. Happy Wednesday!
I suppose that should be a photo of John Williams up there, but Indy will do just fine.
Why have I chosen the Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade theme, you may ask?
Because the Summer Cinema series is back and showing the film in Stanley Park tonight! Last time we tried to watch an Indiana Jones film a HUGE storm came out of nowhere and forced us all out.
Before all that, the theme would pick up here and there in the crowd and everyone would start singing along (as well as you can sing along to an orchestra). So now I've passed this earworm on to you.
Oh, and remember, ""X" never, ever marks the spot."

Halifax band In-Flight Safety, just released their single "Destroy", in the UK and it reminded me how much I enjoy it. While it's just over 4 mins long, it definitely doesn't feel like it, and you'll find yourself hitting the replay button a few times.
They also just released a video for the song, which you can check out below. Apparently the track has been featured on both Vampire Diaries, and The Office (US). You can find their whole album, Conversationalist, HERE.
