If you've ever wondered how Yukon Blonde would sound if they tried their hand at synth-pop, you're not "Crazy".
The new song, as well as "Emotional Blackmail", were both produced by superproducer Steve Bays and released yesterday digitally, and available for preorder on 10"
Check it out below!
To celebrate the 5th Anniversary of their debut album (Shrines), Purity Ring has released a new song: "Asido".
The band is working on their third album, and this track is a stand alone song, released as a gift to fans. I think my favourite part of the press release was the quote from lead singer Megan about the song: "I imagine a tractor digging graves, I imagine crying blood, and I imagine eggs being swept away in it."
Check out the tune and the animated video below!

In the last few years, there have been a lot of rumours swirling around Hey Ocean! I personally have been to at least three shows that were allegedly their "last ever".
But after taking some time off, and each member releasing a solo album in the last year or so, the Vancouver trio has returned with a brand new song, "Sleepwalker", which is exactly what you would hope for from the band.
No details yet on the new album, but they have announced a series of "Evening with..." shows that will consist of old favourites, new teases, and their respective solo material, including the hometown show on October 20 at the Biltmore.
Following up her recent single ("Wild Card"), Cold Specks has released the title track from her upcoming album: "Fool's Paradise".
For the first time, the songstress is singing in Somali and in the song she is "calling out to a semi-mythical Somali queen of female empowerment named Araweelo, who was rumoured to castrate male prisoners."
The song floats along beautifully, and you can hear it below. Fool's Paradise is set to be released on September 22nd via Arts & Crafts, and she will perform here in Vancouver on November 20th at the Fox Cabaret.
Good morning! Y'all ready to get bummed out and want to crawl back in bed!?!
Well that's what the brand new song "Planets" by Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton definitely made me want to do today.
Her new album, Choir Of The Mind, will be the first solo (non-Metric) release in TEN years, and will be out on September 15th.
The video for the second single (directed by Justin Broadbent) is below... stare into your computers people, and then your souls. Oh, and on top of that, we've got a Vancouver concert date: December 7th at the Chan Centre.
The lead single off of Wolf Parade's first album in SEVEN years, "Valley Boy" is out now. And with it come an announcement of the release date - October 6, 2017 - of Cry Cry Cry.
The band has put out a string of tour dates with a stop at the Ponderosa Festival in Rock Creek this summer, and a few dates opening for Arcade Fire! Have a listen to the new track below.
Ok, so this song isn't quite "new", having come out at the beginning of the year, but it was this past weekend at the Folk Fest (see blog post here) that I heard Hillsburn for the first time. It was also the first time in Vancouver for the Nova Scotian band who, since the single was released, won the Fan’s Choice Video of the Year at the 2017 East Coast Music Awards for this song “Run Down”.
The song has a boisterous, stop-and-clap-along energy, and will be off their upcoming album, due out later this year. Check it out below!
If you ever need a song for a montage of attractive people having fun on the beach, Leisure Club has you covered.
"Still Young" is the first single off their debut self titled full length album, which you can pick up in the early fall, and it's your new summertime-chill-out-vibes song.
You can also check them out this Friday night at the Coblat, here in Vancouver.
