The follow-up to 20102s Say Us , this latest LP spans 14 tracks and is described by the label as a "sweaty romp of a record, oozing cool, with fuzzed-out riffs, razor-sharp hooks, and harmonies galore." For a sneak peek, the band has unleashed the lead single, "Are You Gonna' Waste My Time?". With a Who-ian intro, the track furthers the band's work of building solid Southern rock grooves, [...]

Concert Review: Andy Kim Christmas Show, December 14, The Phoenix

Concert Review: Andy Kim Christmas Show, December 14, The Phoenix Toronto - The holiday season is an interesting time of year, one in which one's usual resitance to things that might be considered slightly corny or cheesy are in fact actually embraced. Christmas specials we've seen dozens of times over, albums by Mariah Carey, all of them are kind of OK at this time of the year. When this tendency to like Christmassy stuff is combined with a solid lineup of Canadian talent, it turns into something very much like the Andy Kim Christmas concert. The annual charity event, now in it's seventh year, was raising funds this night for Julliette's [...]

Arkells Leave Indie Rock Behind with Fleetwood Mac-Inspired 'Michigan Left'

Arkells-Whistleblower NEW SONG (@ Sound of Music Festival 2010)
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Universal Music Canada Fast-rising Canadian rockers Arkells were tapped to be the next big indie band out of the Great White North when their 'Jackson Square' album and its accompanying working-man anthem 'Oh, the Boss is Coming' came out in 2008. But then they discovered pop music. The resulting new album, ' Michigan Left ,' certainly won't [...]

Shad – Lucky 1′s

Shad – Lucky 1′s Shad - Lucky 12s "But I hope to plant my seeds before I leave Believing that hope grows even in the stone cold" I am often reminded through my spotify inbox of good songs that I forget temporarily, but then always come back to. Glad I found this jewel again to. Shad is a artist born in Kenya but has a lot of French influence, which apparently has been my thing today. My next post will go more into detail why. The female vocals on Lucky 12s captures me. Shad's flow, but the [...]

CONTEST: Arkells – "Kiss Cam"

The band will be coming to Vancouver on November 11 for a show at the Commodore Ballroom. Watch the video for the single "Kiss Cam" below. The song is a swinging, soul-tinged rocker that laments a breakup and longs for the days of kissing in the bleachers with a stadium full of people watching. As for the video, it features a lot of slow motion [...]

Around The Blogs: Paradise Animals, Generationals, Arkells

Around The Blogs: Paradise Animals, Generationals, Arkells I am currently in the middle part of summer where its impossible to stay on task and get all my work done. Well, at least it feels that way. Hope you dig the links/videos/songs below. Btw, what ever happened to my summer mix? ------------------ Paradise Animals is multi-instrumentalist Mark Andrade and his dark synth-pop diversion from his main duties in the band Green Go . Unlike the poppier/dancier stuff I've used to hearing from his camp, the first single "At This Time" really makes me agree with the provided comparison [...]

Arkells' Take You Behind the Scenes of 'Whistleblower' -- Exclusive Video

Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive , New Releases Universal Music Canada When it comes to music videos, sometimes it's what you don't see captured on film which is actually the most interesting. You know, the high jinx that happens on set when the camera stops rolling or the director turns his back to review the latest take. With this in mind, Ontario rockers Arkells decided to document behind the scenes of their [...]

Arkells and Guests @ The Ballroom [Photos]

Arkells and Guests @ The Ballroom [Photos] Finally here are the photos from Arkell 's set at the Ballroom. I was really excited to see this set and surprised to how crazy full it got when they got on stage. Since I was bowling with Data Romance, Amy and I ran upstairs to catch the stage. I didn't know the Arkells were mostly singing covers, so no new materials. But it was sure a fun wild set. I noticed Canadian author Margaret Atwood was in [...]

A string quartet will be opening the show, followed by Henri Faberge & the Adorables , Allie's set and wrapped by a performance by Dwayne Gretzky ( Arkells & Sweet Thing ) as the wedding band, doing all the best covers. I've seen a variation of her wedding day show theme a while back and it was pretty entertaining, she reminded of me a female Freddie [...]

The Arkells @ The Phoenix (live review)

Hamilton rockers The Arkells played The Phoenix in Toronto on Friday night. Our friend Sean was there and was gracious enough to provide us with this review: After a very long tour that seemed to carefully avoid the 416, the Arkells finally caved in and performed at the Phoenix on Friday night. Promoted by Edge 102.1, I was shocked to find a very packed house awaiting when I arrived around 9:
