Song of the Day: December 13, 2016 - "Freedom" by Rose Cousins

Rose Cousins has released a new single, "Freedom", and announced a new album Natural Conclusion, due out February 3rd 2017!

"Freedom" is a beautiful song that instantly reminded me of early 90's Tragically Hip ("Grace, Too"), and represents the idea of choice, and giving up something in order to get something.

The record has an all star lineup from producer Joe Henry, to the band (Gord Tough, and Kinley Downing to name a few), and a choir that includes the likes of Jill Barber, and Miranda Mullholland. Have a listen to "Freedom" below.

Song of the Day: December 12, 2016 - "The Virus" by A Tribe Called Red

I have been pretty obsessed with A Tribe Called Red's recent album We Are The Halluci Nation, so every time they release a new single or video I get excited. More reasons to share and spread the awesomeness of this record.

The latest is "The Virus", which features Saul Williams, and Chippewa Travellers, and has a brand new video - check it out below.

Song of the Day: December 11, 2016 - "Homeless" by Julie & The Wrong Guys

I feel like I shouldn't even need to tell you anything more about Julie & The Wrong Guys other than the members; Juno-winning Julie Doiron, Cancer Bats members Mike Peters and Jaye Schwarzer, and Eamon McGrath. 

Their new songs gives me some "House of the Rising Sun" vibes, and considering it's called "Homeless" is probably no coincidence. It's off their new 7" and you're going to want to crank this one loud. 

Song of the Day: December 10, 2016 - "Keys" by The Age Of Electric

"Keys" is the first single, one of 4 previously unreleased songs that were recorded during the Make a Pest a Pet session. Check it out below!

Song(s) of the Day: December 08, 2016 - The Railtown Sessions by Sarah Jane Scouten, Rob Butterfield, Johnny 99, and Debra-Jean Creelman

Song of the Day: December 07, 2016 - "Kick" by Your Boy Tony Braxton

Your Boy Tony Braxton is back with a new video for the song "Kick". 

Much like the album Adult Contempt itself, the house-party-dance-circle video was inspired by 80s and 90s; "[Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam’s] “I Wonder If I Take You Home" video was the main inspiration. Also Janet videos,” says Shad, the man behind YBTB. “I like how the retro-vibe and playfulness of the song/video play alongside lyrics about desiring to mature.”

Check it out below, and if you're in Toronto, make sure you catch him opened for Tokyo Police Club tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday at the Mod Club! 

Song of the Day: December 06, 2016 - "Fall to Pieces" by Matt & Kim

If you ever have the chance to see Matt & Kim live, you better do it. Unless you hate dancing, running around, high energy, and booty shaking. And that's just the duo themselves. 

Get a taste for yourself in this compilation of the band's 2016 live shows, set to "Fall to Pieces" off their newest EP, We Were The Weirdos.
