Song of the Day: October 12, 2018 - "American Screams" by Arkells

The tracks from the Arkells upcoming album Rally Cry are coming out fast and furious, the latest being “American Screams”.

Now you could listen to the song in the video below, or you could call 1-888-426-8856, listen to it AND leave the band a message.

The new album is due out October 19th, but we might get one more single to come before that, so stay tuned! You can also likely hear the new music if you’re watching Hockey Night In Canada, as the boys have been all over the Leafs games (including throwing jerseys into the crowd at the arena)!

Song of the Day: October 11, 2018 - "Gathering Storm" by Buckman Coe feat. Caleb Hart & Tiny House Warriors

“Gathering Storm” is the first single, and title track, from Buckman Coe’s new album set for release on February 22, 2019.

According to Buckman, the song has roots in social activism:
"This song was inspired by my work with the Tiny House Warriors (click for more info). It celebrates the gathering community of Indigenous and non-Indigenous land and water protectors here at home and around the world."

Song of the Day: October 10, 2018 - "Cold In The Summer" by Dan Mangan

We’re still a few weeks away from the release of More or Less, but Dan Mangan is giving us another tease with the new video for “Cold in the Summer”.

Dan says the song is the “quarter-life crisis. The mid-30s father feeling simultaneously conflicted about having retired the wild young adventurer within and also overwhelmed with appreciation for the privilege and good fortune he has been afforded. I literally got a cold in the summer and thought: ‘This is dumb, I’m getting soft’.”

Check out the video below, and head over to Dan’s Instagram on the 28th for a live variety show hosted by Charlie Demers featuring “acoustic renditions of album tracks, special guests, prize giveaways, comedic performances, game show questions about Dan, and a lot more.”

Song of the Day: October 9, 2018 - "Low Light" by Leisure Club

Vancouver’s Leisure Club released a new stand alone single last Friday titled “Low Light”.

If you find yourself in Kelowna for the Break Out West festival, you have a few chances to catch them (on Thursday and Friday) - click here for more info.

I’m sure you’ll hear songs from their self-titled debut album, and this brand new song!

Song of the Day: October 8, 2018 - "The Deep" by Phildel

I have been waiting years for new music from the London singer Phildel, and last week we not only got “The Deep”, but a gorgeous music video to go along with it, was directed and animated by PIxar animator Youri Dekker.

The darkly haunting song is the first single from her new album, but we’ll have to wait a few more months for that, until February of next year. But until then put “The Deep” on repeat.

Song of the Day: October 7, 2018 - "Vessel" by ROYAL

ROYAL is back with a brand new single, “Vessel”, the lead track from her new album, Heart of Shadows, which comes out November 2nd.

Produced by Vancouver mainstay Luca Fogale, the song “represent a journey into toxic love and the loss of identity.” Check it out below!

Song of the Day: October 6, 2018 - "All These Thoughts" by Scenic Route To Alaska

Want a preview of what you might see tonight at the Wise Hall when Scenic Route To Alaska takes the stage?

Here’s a live video of their song “All These Thoughts” from their latest EP Tough Luck, which I’m sure you’ll hear much of this evening.

Song of the Day: October 5, 2018 - "Modern Love" by For Esmé

I needed this greatly this week.

For Esme released a video for their song “Modern Love” from their album Righteous Woman (which I’m still obsessed with) and it couldn’t have come at a more urgent time.

Now all we need is a Vancouver tour date…please?
