by Tiana Feng Last night, Bravestation celebrated the release of their new EP IV at The Drake Hotel. If you haven't heard it yet, it is available for free on Bandcamp . Opening up the night was rapper TFHOUSE. Their recorded stuff (available on Bandcamp ) is alright, but I thought the live performance was a bit of a joke and kind of unprofessional. There was [...]

Big Wave | Goldmine Our favourite home-county heroes return with another juicy slice of sunshine on new single Goldmine. Released on a staggeringly-hot chrome cassette via Art Is Hard , it's further justification of our statement that Big Wave are one of the finest new bands these shores has to offer. Urgent, energetic and brilliantly realised; Goldmine is GOLD. * MONEY | Bluebell Fields The first single [...]
Hello again, and welcome to the latest instalment of New Music Friday. How was your week? I hope you made the most of it; I certainly did, but the downside of that was that I spent a lot of time travelling. Even then, it wasn't so bad, because whilst sitting on trains and buses this week, I managed to get to grips with a lot of new music. This week was just as packed as the previous week was, and the stuff I came across turned out to be even more diverse than usual; you should expect the unexpected in [...]
Bravestation have a new EP entitled IV ready to see the light of day next week. This is a band I've been fond of for a few years now , but why should you care? Well, if you head out into the springtime sunshine with the lovely sounds of their new single Somewhere We Belong bouncing around your earholes, I bet you a dollar you'll feel better about things. All of the things. Well except for that dollar you're never getting from me. Over the last few years, Bravestation [...]

We've been after the guys in Bravestation to get themselves to Rochester for a show, but so far, our pleas have been to no avail. Then again, we aren't putting on shows anymore - or even writing with any regularity - so that could be part of the reason, though I think it has more to do with the fact that the United States doesn't make it easy for a Canadian band to come down and play a one-off show. But if you've been listening to what the Toronto outfit has been doing over the past couple of years, you'll [...]
Last week, Bravestation premiered a new single titled, " All We Have Is Us ". A second release for this week was promised, and here we are with "Somewhere We Belong". I love this new direction that Bravestation is taking with their sound. They have the tribal pop thing down to perfection, and the addition of R&B influences and sexy synths just seems like a natural progression. This time next week, we'll all be enjoying the rest of Bravestation's IV EP. - Matt

But, consider me right on time posting the 2nd single, "Somewhere We Belong". Toronto folk, make sure you head to the Drake on Wed, May 15th to celebrate with the band the release of " IV ".

Words: Saam Das Toronto experimental popstars Bravestation return with a new EP, following last year's debut album, 'Giants & Dreamers' . The 'IV' EP is led by the surprisingly R&B-tinged 'All We Have Is Us', which you can download for free below, ahead of the 14th May release date. We last caught up with Bravestation before they released their debut record, and this new track has taken a relatively [...]

by Tiana Feng Bravestation have returned with "All We Have Is Us", a tune from upcoming EP IV . This new track displays some new elements sound-wise. Most noticeably, an R&B influence. Tune in next week for another new track. You can grab the "All We Have Is Us" for free on Bandcamp . Also, don't forget to enter our contest for free tickets to IV 's release party!
Bravestation are back! I spent all of last year raving about the band's music and obsessing over their debut album, Giants & Dreamers . The release of a new single titled "All We Have Is Us" shows the band moving their tribal pop sound further into a new territory. Still very much intact are the tribal influences that we've all become familiar with, but there's something more layered into the sound. There's something seductive about it. With hints of R&B added in, Bravestation transcends their signature dreaminess, leaving us with music that's downright sexy. "All [...]
Toroto's Bravestation , who we posted about last year, are getting ready to follow-up the solid Giants & Dreamers debut with a new EP IV on May 14th. It will have four-songs in totals (hence the title) and sees the group diving further into layering melodic synths and vibrant percussion with tighter production. You get a sense that this is a band that is starting to come into their own. The first [...]

Well, the world didn't end, so I guess I need to get my year-end list up. Like in previous years, I aim to make this list a mix of what I enjoyed and spun the most as well as what also was good, technically-speaking, in my opinion. I think people often put far too much weight behind what a year-end list contains, as if what's listed at #5 or #1 is the God's honest truth. If you thought Carly Rae Jepsen's album was the best album of the year, right on. For as much as music writers critique the year's [...]
2012 is almost ending soon. I am almost getting there! With that here are the " Best Of " Canadian albums from #20 to #13. You must be wondering why up to 13?

Last year was the first time that I did a "Best of" Remixes. So why not do it again this year. I am a sucker for songs being remixed and probably giving a bit of life to. You may agree or disagree on this list. Besides it might make you dance to it. So here it is my Top 12 Remixes of 2012. 1. Florence + The Machine - Spectrum (Say My Name) [Calvin Harris Remix] [...]
