We've got a new (lyric) video for "Broken English" by Youngblood, off of their fall release Feel Alright! Have a listen below, and note that all of those letters for the lyrics were cut out by hand!
The band is heading out on tour with stops at JUNOfest, and on to CMW, but first they'll be performing with Mother Mother this Thursday at the Commodore!
Before you listen to the new song from !!! (pronounced Chk Chk Chk) make sure you have enough roon to get up and dance.
"The One 2" is the first single off their upcoming album Shake The Shudder, out May 19th. It features a rotating cast of singers, including Cameron Mesirow (Glasser) and Molly Schnick (of Out Hud), Lea Lea, Meah Pace, and Nicole Fayu. And if this first track is any indication, it's going to be incendiary.
They'll also be going on an extensive tour, including a stop here at the Fox Cabaret on June 27th.
Don't let this song bum you out too much, it is very beautiful even though it's heartbreaking (read some of Tyler's words on the song by clicking here).
"Miscarriage" is Said The Whale's latest single, released ahead of the new album (As Long As Your Eyes Are Wide), which is out on March 31st.
The band has been sending music out for listening parties across Canada (I'll be attending one tomorrow), and their tour for April is getting busy. Make sure to get your tickets for the show at the Vogue on April 29th here in Vancouver.

Rose Cousins has released another single and video, "White Flag", from her new album Natural Conclusion which is out now. The song is a slow, sad but moving song with beautiful piano, and the visuals in the video pair perfectly.
She will be performing here in Vancouver tomorrow night at the Wise Hall - click here for more information!
It's new Feist!! What more do you need to know, go listen!!!
(Okay, maybe you need to know "Pleasure" is her first new single since '011's Metals, and it's the title track of the new album, due out April 28. And if this song is any indication, it's definitely going to be worth the wait.)
"Swirl" is the perfect name for the latest single from Vancouver's I M U R, because as soon as you hit play, the soulful, sensual song swirls around you like an embrace.
It's off their album Little Death, which will be out March 24th, and celebrated by their album release show this weekend, the 18th, at Celebrities.
Saskatoon band Close Talker's new album Lens is coming out in just over a month (April 21) and we've got a new single called "Okay Hollywood".
The band is also heading out on a big North American tour, including a stop here in Vancouver on April 27th at the Biltmore with Yes We Mystic.

Check out the post-apocalyptic video for the Lisa LeBlanc rager, "City Slickers & Country Boys". The black & white video (more of a short film, really) was directed by Émile Lavoie and follows a man searching for his son among a zombie outbreak.
The album Why You Wanna Leave, Runaway Queen? came out last year, and is up for a JUNO under Contemporary Roots Album of the Year. You can also catch Lisa touring Canada, including March 25th at the Biltmore (you'll find me there!)
