Song of the Day: September 08, 2018 - "Labor Drive" by Jim Bryson

With the backlog of songs, we missed Labour Day with this one, but I am irrationally annoyed that the song title is missing a 'u' - what's with that Jim!?

Jim Bryson released a new song "Labor Drive" last week from his upcoming album Tired Of Waiting - which you won't have to do for much longer as it will be out on September 14th!

The video features close ups of friends in a backyard eating chicken wings, so this ain't for the vegans...check it out below!

Song of the Day: September 07, 2018 - "Ola Volo" by Matt Mays

Get your ears warmed up to see Matt Mays tonight at Skookum (and Skookum After Dark) with this acoustic version of "Ola Volo". 

The song comes off the upcoming album, Twice Upon a Hell of a Time... which is, as you may have guessed, is a full re-imagining of his previous album, Once Upon a Hell of a Time... 

Mays says "Once Upon a Hell of a Time... is a Saturday night record, and this version is for the hangover on Sunday."

Check it out below, and hope to see you in Stanley Park!

Song of the Day: September 06, 2018 - "Down" by Dead Soft

Gabriola Island band Dead Soft released a video for their song "Down" last week from their forthcoming album New Emotion.

The video was filmed on the island with a VHS Camera (good lord, I remember using those in high school and having to cut the tapes together) - which aesthetically fits very well with the song.

The band is heading out on a big tour starting this October with The Dirty Nil, and will be in Vancouver on November 3rd at the Biltmore Cabaret.

Song of the Day: September 05, 2018 - "Nobody Rules You" by Danny Michel

Danny Michel has slowly been releasing songs off of his upcoming album White & Gold - "Born In The Wild" was first, and inspired by the March For Our Lives movement, "The Red Fox" and "Purgatory Cove" were next.

The album comes out on October 12th and will feature six songs total, including the three above.

In the meantime, he's also released a stripped down, reworked version of an older song, "Nobody Rules You" that multiples schools have performed (and sent him videos of) as a sort of new anthem for them. You can see it below, and keep an ear out for more new music!

Song of the Day: September 04, 2018 - "Release Yourself" by Graham Van Pelt

It's been some time since we last heard from Graham Van Pelt, under the moniker Miracle Fortress. But last week he released the debut single under his real name, with the album TIme Travel due out October 19th. 

"Release Yourself" is a dancey jam that is sure to get you moving on your first day back to the real world after a long weekend.

Song of the Day: September 03, 2018 - "No Bucks" by k-os

Still going through the backlog of songs in my inbox, I almost missed this awesome new one from k-os called "No Bucks".

It's been 3 years since we've heard from him musically, and there's still no word on a new album (that I've seen), so we'll just have to put this on repeat until we get more!

Song of the Day: September 02, 2018 - "The Fool Pt. 3 (Frame of Mind)" by Shad

Honestly this week has been crazy for new music, we're having trouble keeping up. I've been waiting for this one and was super excited when it landed in my inbox.

Shad's new album A Short Story About War, is still on it's way, but the second single (after "The Fool Pt 1 (Get It Got It Good") titled "The Fool Pt 3 (Frame Of Mind)" is out now and features a beat created by Kaytranada.

Shad spoke to Noisey about the song, the video, and the album - click hear to read more about it, and have a listen/look below!
