Donovan Woods has a new single (and video) out for his song "All Mine". He'll be hitting up some of the late summer/early fall festivals still to happen in Ontario, but no future news to report other than that!
The singer-songwriter says, of the track, "'All Mine' is a song about the feeling of working through adversity and realizing you've emerged intact." So start off your Sunday with that one!
New music is coming from The Elwins! Not only did we get a new single this week titled "Hey! Ya, You", but we got the announcement of a new album, Beauty Community, out October 13th on Hidden Pony!
If that wasn't exciting enough, tour dates were released and the boys will be back in town on November 11th at the Cobalt.
Check out the new song below!

With less than a month to go before the new album, Light Information, comes out, Chad VanGaalen shares another new song from it with "Mind Hijacker's Curse".
VanGaalen says the song “is the outcome and side effects of vacationing inside of another organism’s consciousness. Once we can do this, I see the potential to forget your physical self and just live inside of some other beings mind. Hook me up to the fungal web that allows entire forests to communicate. I imagine the dolphin package would be very popular...”
I was sure when Death From Above got back together it would just be for a reunion tour and that would be it. But here we are, a couple years later and we are getting the first single from another new album from the duo.
Outrage! Is Now comes out September 8th, and you can check out the badass single "Never Swim Alone" below!
Dom Fricot just released the first single off his upcoming album, Deserts. Produced by David Vertesi and Andrew Rasmussen, "Echoes" is a throwback to the 80s and is giving me some serious Genesis vibes (er, the band, not the Sega console).
No word yet on the album's release date, but chill to the single below.
It's just a few short weeks until Fear/Nothing, the brand new album from Belle Game comes out, but they've given us another tease of the album with "Low".
I may or may not have heard an advance copy of the album, and believe me on this, you are definitely going to want to pick up the album September 8th!
I found out about Norwegian band Sauropod while attending the Trans Musicales Festival in France last December.
Since then the band has signed to Propeller Recordings, and have now released a new single called "By The Tree" - frontman Jonas Røyeng says it "is essentially about juggling two things at once, not knowing which one you like the most."
The band will be touring in the new year, so I will be keeping an eye out for Canadian dates!

Another single from METZ from their soon to be released (September 22) album Strange Pearce!
Of "Drained Lake", lead singer Alex Edkins says (it's about) “The constant struggle to know yourself and make sense of your life and surroundings. What is my purpose? Holding on to who you are while fending off pressure to bend to what other people want and expect from you.”
Crank up the speakers and have a listen.
