Song of the Day: July 26, 2016 - "Yuh" by The Belle Game

If you, like me, have been eagerly anticipating new music from The Belle Game, then do I have good news for you! The band just dropped a brand new single called "Yuh", which was produced by Dave Hamelin (formerly of one of my favourite bands, The Stills) and executive produced by Kevin Drew (you know, one of the guys that founded Broken Social Scene). 

"Yuh" is a sexy tune dubbed "Crush Pop" by the band, and you can get it now from Arts & Crafts (oh, did I mention they're now on Arts & Crafts?!)

Song of the Day: July 25, 2016 - "R.E.D." by A Tribe Called Red

Song(s) of the Day: July 21, 2016 - ¢ by sivarT

I love finding the side-projects of members of some of my favourite bands, and when sivarT popped up on my Facebook, I was just as pleased.

sivarT, is Travis Stokl, the drummer for Ontario band The Elwins, and while this is his solo work, the band is all over the album. Matthew co-wrote two songs and designed the cover, Frankie co-wrote "Poet Inside", and Feurd played bass on "Improve My Improv".

The songs on ¢ remind me of very early Said The Whale, combined with the vocals and mellow instrumentation of Coconut Records, (aka I love it), but take a listen for yourself below!

Song(s) of the Day: July 20, 2016 - Adult Contempt by Your Boy Tony Braxton

Last Friday Shad released a surprise album called Adult Contempt under the name Your Boy Tony Braxton. It's a soft rock album, inspired by late 80s-early 90s pop/rock, and if that's not enough to get you to listen, I don't even know why you're here.

(Oh, and also, make sure you check out his website, which is also inspired by late 80s-early 90s)

Song of the Day: July 19, 2016 - "Hand In My Pocket" Alanis Morissette cover by Seaway

All I saw was "covers Alanis Morissette's "Hand In My Pocket" and I knew I needed to listen. 

Oakville, Ontario outfit Seaway took on the song with their pop-punk twist and it's definitely catchy.
