Song Of The Day: August 25, 2015 - "Uncover Your Eyes" Young Empires

So many fall albums are set to release soon, including the full-length release from Toronto's Young Empires, titled The Gates.

The band recently released the another track from the album (which will be out September 4th) called "Uncover Your Eyes" (listen below). 

If you're at Rifflandia, you can see the band perform on the Saturday, or if you're hanging around Vancouver that weekend, they'll be at Fortune Sound Club on the 17th!

Song Of The Day: August 24, 2015 - "The Shade" Metric

I cannot help but imagine a video game when I listen to Metric's song "The Shade", can you?

The band just released a new video for the single, which is from their upcoming album Pagans In Vegas, set to be released on September 18th! If you haven't heard it yet, give it a listen below.

What's up Pagans? Here's our official video for The Shade, directed by Lauren Graham in utopian downtown LA. With Eternal Love, metric xo.

Song Of The Day: August 23, 2015 - "Love Songs For Robots" Patrick Watson

A new video for "Love Songs For Robots", the title track off Patrick Watson's latest album (by the name name) was released recently.

The video was directed by Academy Award-nominated Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski, and they said it was their: "attempt to create the sort of film Martians might make for humans, if those Martians had only observed us from afar."

If you watch/listen below, I'm sure you'll agree they did just that.

Patrick Watson returns to Vancouver on October 5th at the Commodore.

Song Of The Day: August 22, 2015 - "A Love That Sticks" Rah Rah

More new music from Regina band Rah Rah, and if this, and the last song released are any indication of the entire album, it's going to be an amazing one.

They just announced a tour with Vancouver band Dear Rouge, with a performance at the Commodore on November 20th. Check out the single "A Love That Sticks" below:

Song Of The Day: August 21, 2015 - "Confidence" by P'ARIS

One of the very first Song of the Days was a track by the mysterious new band P'ARIS. Now they're back with a second track, produced by STINT, a synth-poppy tune called "Confidence" with a chorus that was immediately get stuck in your head.

They are, however, continuing building a mystery. The single's art features a blanked out & obscured woman's face (who may or may not be the singer in the song?) and the ghostly new promo picture makes it hard to ID the duo themselves. But if my suspicions are correct, it's one hell of a pairing.

Song Of The Day: August 20, 2015 - "Stockholm" In-Flight Safety

Last month I was reminiscing about how much I enjoyed the In-Flight Safety song "Destroy" and they just released another single titled "Stockholm" from their album Conversationalist last week.

Apparently they are busy working on new material that will be released this fall as a singles package with "some B-Sides and tracks they’ve recorded since the release of Conversationalist".

Have a listen to "Stockholm" below, and keep an eye out for the music video which is set to drop soon.

Song Of The Day: August 19, 2015 "Mate" Gang Signs

For the amount of times I've seen Vancouver's Gang Signs live, it's hard to believe they're just about to release their FIRST LP!

Geist arrived on October 2nd through File Under Music, and "Mate" their first single was just released, with the accompanying video, which you can see/hear below.

The band performs on the 22nd of August (this Saturday) with Fucked Up, and DOOMSQUAD at the Wise Hall.
