Song Of The Day: July 10, 2015 - "Rosalyn" Twin Bandit
Twin Bandit's new record For You is out now and I've been listening to the single "Rosalyn" a lot lately.
Have a listen as you drift off into another summer weekend:
3am Playlist #3: Yas Kween!
When there is a show that features Skye Wallace, Miss Quincy, AND Chersea (Weds the 15th at the Biltmore), there is only one thing to do: an all female superstar playlist.
I asked each of the ladies to pick some of their favourite Canadian female singers to contribute to the playlist and they delivered some gems. We have so many different genres covered, and really unique voices from all over Canada!
Click the image above to hear the Yas Kween! playlist, and be sure to grab your tickets to the show (they're only $10!).
Song Of The Day: July 09, 2015 - "Joe With The Jam" Frog Eyes
Ten songs, all written on an acoustic guitar that Carey Mercer inherited from his father, who passed away a couple years ago. That's how the new Frog Eyes album Pickpocket's Locket started.
It's out on Paper Bag August 28th, but you can hear the first single here, "Joe With The Jam".
He'll also be touring this fall with his former bandmate and pal Dan Bejar, opening a few dates for Destroyer (who, coincidentally, has a new album out on the same day).
Oh, and the lush strings on the song? They were arranged by another former bandmate and pal Spencer Krug (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Moonface) and played by the award winning Jesse Zubot.
Song Of The Day: July 08, 2015 - "Morning World" Teen Daze
"Morning World" is an appropriately titled track for your Wednesday "Song Of The Day" this AM!
Teen Daze's new album, by the same name, is coming out on August 14th, so I thought I'd share the title track ahead of time. He will be performing at Fortune Sound Club on September 12th before heading out on a North American tour.
Take a listen to the song below and view the trailer for Morning World below that!
Song Of The Day: July 07, 2015 - "Sharkweek" JPNSGRLS
It's Shark Week! JPNSGRLS have a song called "Sharkweek". Seemed appropriate enough. Enjoy!

Song Of The Day: July 06, 2015 - "Spit You Out" METZ
Need something to wake you up this Monday morning?
How about "Spit You Out" by METZ, which comes off of their second album (appropriately titled "II").
The band's album is currently nominated on the Long List for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize and they will be heading into Vancouver on August 3rd at the Rickshaw Theatre.

Song Of The Day: July 04, 2015 - "Working For The Government" A Tribe Called Red (Buffy Sainte-Marie Mix)
A Tribe Called Red have put out a cover/remix of Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Working For The Government". The song is a perfect fit for the group and I can picture myself driving down a long BC highway on a summer day with this song pumping in the speakers.
Excellent summer jam.

Song Of The Day: July 03, 2015 - "Counting The Days" Sam Roberts Band
Just got my Pemberton Music Festival media approval and have been looking through the lineup again getting excited to head up there and see some great music.
I JUST saw Sam Roberts at NXNE in Toronto performing a few of his songs for the Paper Bag 100 Records party, and was once again reminded what a great showman he is.
"Counting The Days" is off of his new EP of the same name (purchase here) and a trippy new video was just released for the single. Hear the song, and watch the video below.
