Megan Bonnell is hitting the road with Great Lake Swimmers for a string of dates, and just released a new video for her song "Broken Hearted Avenue".
Check out the video below, and if you want to see her live you'll have to head to Nelson or Revelstoke as that's as far as the tour is coming into BC.
Earlier this year Shad released an album under the moniker Your Boy Tony Braxton and now we have a brand new music video for the track "Good (Enough)".
The video was directed by Justin Broadbent, and features both Shad and Broken Social Scene's Brendan Canning in a VHS store. Check it out below, and cross your fingers for some West Coast tour dates!
The new video for "Quite Like You" from Andy Shauf's Polaris short-listed album The Party was directed by Chad VanGaalen, and that's all you should need to know to want to watch it.
Katie Stelmanis, who you know better as Austra, is back with the first glimpse at her third full length album.
Future Politics is said to be her most ambitious album yet, which will be “a commitment to replace the approaching dystopia,” says Stelmanis, “Not just hope in the future, but the idea that everyone is required to help write it, and the boundaries of what it can look like are both fascinating and endless. It’s not about ‘being political’, it’s about reaching beyond boundaries, in every single field.”
Get a taste of that with the first single "Utopia" and pick up the album January 20 from Pink Fizz Records.
Sometimes when I see a song with the same name as a popular song, a small part of me hopes its a cover. Especially if it's something as unlikely as David Vertesi covering Metallica.
But, probably for the better, that's not what this "Sad But True" is. The song is off his album Sad Dad Cruise Ship, which is not only the albums name, but his self-appointed genre of music, and Vertesi just released a brand new video for it.
Keep your eyes peeled for famous Vancouver locales like the Biltmore, and famous kitties like Gary.
Victoria artist Sam Weber has released a new video for his song "Charlotte" off of the record released this spring called Valentina Nevada.
The video features fellow Victoria-based band Fox Glove, who were on tour recently with Sam & his band.
The touring continues for them now and into November with a show in Vancouver tapped for November 10th - but a venue is still TBA. You can check out the full schedule on his website - HERE.

I have to admit I hadn't heard the original song by Phantogram, but since I love everything that Pup does, I knew this had to be good, and I was right.
Check out the band covering "You Don't Get Me High Anymore" below, and be sure to get your tickets to come see them when they're in Vancouver live on November 23rd, with Meat Wave, at the Cobalt.
Has it really been three years since the last full length album from smoky singer-songwriter Louise Burns??
That will change in a few months with the just-announced Young Mopes, following up '013's The Midnight Mass. The album was produced by Burns herself, and the first single is an upbeat song with darker undertones, "Storms".
Check it out below, and be sure to mark February 3 on your calendar, when the album comes out via Light Organ Records.
