Song of the Day: April 23, 2016 - "No Salesman" by Jordan Klassen

We got a new video from Vancouver's Jordan Klassen this week from his latest album Javelin, which is out now. And coincidentally this is just before the man himself performs here in Vancouver on Wedneday (May 27) at the Imperial with Megan Bonnell.

The song/video for "No Salesman" is below, featuring a whole bunch of very cold looking bodies of water, and lots of slow motion walking.  You can purchase the whole album by clicking here.

Song of the Day: April 22, 2016 - "Throw My Love Away" by Leisure Club

Today's the day! The day that Leisure Club asks Why do I "Throw My Love Away"?

Ever since I heard about their formation, and saw them perform live at the Media Club in March I've been waiting for a recording from Vancouver's Leisure Club and their first single is out today.

Coincidentally, I ALSO just spotted that they'll be performing as part of the Converse Rubber Tracks event on May 6th - for free! All you have to do is RSVP (make sure it's for the Vancouver event) by clicking here. Can't make it? Then keep your eyes peeled for another chance to see them in late May too.

But for now, listen to this one on repeat:

Song of the Day: April 21, 2016 - "The Floor" by Lovecoast

Lovecoast wants to dance with somebody. If their new video for "The Floor" is any indication, that is.

The bouncy, soulful pop song was produced by The Zolas' Tom Dobrzanski at his Monarch Studios, and if you don't do a shoulder shimmy in your chair, at the very least, that I don't know what to say. 

If you're on the island, you can catch Lovecoast at the Victoria Ska & Reggae Festival on June 25th, and I have little doubt they'll be a summer festival staple in no time. 

Song of the Day: April 20, 2016 - "Settle Down" by Twin River

It's about two months until we get the full Twin River album (June 17th via Light Organ), but we've got a another single from the group to tide us over.

"Settle Down" is the third single to be released from the album after the double release of "Antony/I Don't Want To Be Alone" 7" release. All three songs will be on the new album, titled Passing Shade. Check it out below:

Song of the Day: April 19, 2016 - "Getting Over You" by Kaylee Johnston

If you've been following this blog, then you may know that one of my favourite new(ish) finds has been Kaylee Johnston, so I'm excited to hear brand new music from the Vancouver pop-singer-songwriter. 

"Getting Over You" is a pop smash showcasing Kaylee's confident voice, and the video splices together her performance with "empowering scenes of women overcoming their own obstacles through a variety of dance and martial arts."

You can find the song on her upcoming EP, which will be out this summer, presumably just in time for her June 3rd show at the Biltmore. 

Song of the Day: April 18, 2016 - "The Worst In You" by Andy Shauf

More new music from Andy Shauf!

His new album "The Party" has a release date too, May 20th, and he's heading out on tour through the UK next month before returning back to Canada for a string of dates (including Jazz Fest here in Vancouver with case/lang/veirs).

Check "The Worst In You" out below.

Song of the Day: April 17, 2016 - "Bully For You" by JPNSGRLS

I hope you all got to check out JPNSGRLS during Record Store Day yesterday and heard today's Song Of The Day, "Bully For You", live! 

If not, the boys will be back in action on Thursday at the Biltmore along with Fine Times and REGAL, before they head out on their spring tour across Canada to CMW, and then some dates in Europe.

Song of the Day: April 16, 2016 - "Sunday Sara" by Alexandria Maillot

Alexandria Maillot teamed up with cmyk Productions for a brand new video, released yesterday. 

 "Sunday Sara" is the first single off of her upcoming debut full-length album, Time, which will be independently released on June 10th. The video paints a picture of conflict over the etherial voice of Alexandria. Take a look below!
