Last Ronin – Incognito – EP Review Glitch-Hop! How has THAT sub-genre of other main-genres eluded me, at least by name, after all these years? That’s really a fantastic term to describe much of what I personally listen to – especially if its true definition is anything close to what Last Ronin is creating – […]Read More
Against Time – Against Time – EP Review Heavy rock-band from Ottawa, Against Time makes a punishing mix of sludgy guitars, bass & drums – the meat & potatoes to go with the vocals – much like the inventive title to the new EP, this isn’t a band here to build themselves on flash & […]Read More
Jay Jai – Backseat Diary – EP Review Well! Someone ate their Wheaties before hitting the studio didn’t they? Jay Jai’s new EP Backseat Diary is a vibrant mix of pop-music & R&B and right from the opening moments of “Us” comes out crystal-clear and beautifully in the mix right from the drop. Jay Jai […]Read More

d.oh – A Lukewarm Reception – EP Review I was a massive fan of this band’s name until the moment I tried to search for any information related to the music on the ol’ interweb – now I’m not so much a fan of this choice, given that I’m lost in a never-ending sea of […]Read More
Qualia – Triptych – EP Review Whatever it is…whatever luck I’m experiencing lately in not only finding quality music within the independent scene, but also music that’s being made incredibly CLOSE to where our studio is based…I really don’t want it to stop! Recently finding excellence close by in acts like upcoming SBS Live This […]Read More
Van Norden – Love At First Sight – EP Review Energetic electro-experience from Van Norden with the brand-new single “Love At First Sight,” a song so bright, addictive and full of hooks I’ve actually got three versions of it here today! I get the excitement behind the music and it makes sense after listening to […]Read More
Violet Night – I Hope You’re Well – EP Review Wait a minute here…northern British Columbia? Like…as in our own backyard? NICE. It’s even better when you find a band from your area and they make absolutely stellar music – and that’s exactly what we have here with the indie/electro/folk band Violet Night. I’m not […]Read More
Jonni Slater – Hold On – EP Review Pretty sure there’s not much else you could potentially do to raise expectations any higher; citing comparisons like Jeff Buckley, David Bowie, Beck and Radiohead on his social-media pages – Jonni Slater has set himself up to have to really deliver after such a comment. Question of […]Read More
