Dragonette’s new album, Royal Blues, was released earlier this month. The whole album is definitely worth a listen! It’s officially added to my pre-drinking playlist.
Heading to their set at the Imperial tonight to snap some photos. In the mean time, enjoy their title track đ
The more BANNERS releases, the more stoked I’m getting for his show at The Imperial next February. Here’s some chill vibes to get us through this gloomy November.
I’ve always been in love with Mother Mother. The way they sound, the way they look, the way they everything…
From Ghosting to Modern Love, they’ve gone through an array of sounds, all of which I’ve taken a liking to.
It has been a while since I’d heard anything new from these local rockstars, I was starting to get a bit antsy! Finally, here we have it, their new single The Drugs.
It’s been around 6 years since I’ve seen Hannah Georgas…and oh my how things have changed. She’s evolved from the little indie-folk singer that I once knew and loved, into this deep, rocking superstar that I love even more! Not that I didn’t like her music before, but I found myself dancing a lot more this time around.
Don’t believe me? Have a listen for yourself! This one’s been on repeat for some time now.
An interesting collaboration of Rostam Barmanglij, former producer and instrumentalist of Vampire Weekend, and Hamilton Leithauser, the former front man of the Walkmen, is âI Had a Dream That You Were Mineâ, the first album from the duo.
The album is remarkably diverse. Iâm getting reminiscent vibes of Gregory Alan Isakov (âIn a Black Outâ), the Papas (âa 1000 Timesâ), and even Bob Dylan (âPeaceful Morningâ). Itâs weird how every song sounds like a different albumâŚBut I think itâs in a good way.
Hereâs my favourite of the bunch.
STRFKR‘s track “Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second” could be one of my biggest inspirations to start playing music and jamming with my friends. I’ve been a big believer of this Portland-based indie rock band ever since I first laid ears on them back in 2008, and they never cease to amaze me.
Their 5th studio album, Being No One, Going Nowhere, is set to release on Friday November 4th, but luckily enough for us they’ve given us a 4 song teaser!
I couldn’t wait another 5 days to share, so here you go đ
You can count on another STRFKR post this upcoming Friday.
I’ve wanted to see Saint Motel play live ever since I listened to their first studio album, Voyeur, in 2012. Their schedule to play in town always seems to clash with me being out of town, but I finally had the opportunity to see them perform on the main stage at Sasquatch this year! Unfortunately their set was cancelled due to intense winds…just my luck đ
They released their second full length studio album, Saintmotelevision, on October 21st, and, although it may be a bold statement, I think I like it more than their first!
They really caught on to the catchy sound movement. This upbeat, high tempo, make-you-wanna-dance album is definitely one for the ears!
Listen for yourselves đ
For me, Summerland could be the album I was most looking forward to this year. I know that’s a bold statement, but Coleman Hell‘s music always reminds me of summer and good times, and during this transition into winter, it’s exactly what I need.
I highly recommend everyone have a listen to this, and put on your dancing shoes for his show on November 10th at Venue.
#neverforget
Going in to Glass Animals, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I only knew 2, maybe 3 songs, which I liked enough to get me out the their show.
Needless to say, these guys blew me and everyone else in Queen Elizabeth Theatre away!
The singer was mental, in the best way possible. He was all over the stage, with his wacky dance moves and and the most soothing singing voice…ever. The stage set and light show definitely added a lot to this show too.
Went in a casual listener, came out a big fan.
Tokyo Police Club will always hold a special place in my heart. I spent 6 weeks on the road with them in 2014, so here I was, ready to reminisce.
They came on strong, just like they always do. It was nice to hear their new songs added to the set list. My House had the whole Commodore Ballroom singing their hearts out.
To top it all off, they had Born Ruffians and The Elwins on their bill!
This show was dope out of 10.
Can’t wait until next time đ
