In today's interconnected world with it's instant downloads, it is rare to have to wait to posses the new release from a favorite artist. This situation is especially frustrating when the artist is a mere 90 miles of lake away. While our neighbors to the north have been enjoying the third LP by Toronto indie...
As we disclosed earlier this year, we got behind on the In Dee Music series for one simple reason - the number of submissions coming in has nearly tripled in the past 16 months, which almost perfectly coincides with the rise in overall monthly visitors during the same time period. IRC is receiving up to [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

It's not only Thursday, but it's the Thursday before the Easter long weekend, and so I could understand if you were expecting some kind of Easter-themed edition of the Video Hits this week. That's certainly not what you are getting, but I could understand why you might have been expecting that. Instead we're taking you back to the roots of these Video Hits posts with 3 random selections that represent a sampling of the video-ified Canadian music goodness we get sent here at the hill. I'm happy to report that The Golden [...]

Monday, March 7, 2011 Today's Quick Mention: Just so you know, because of SXSW the schedule around SOTO is about to get really weird and scattered. For those of you that are planning on coming to Austin for the festivities, you'll love the recommendations and the coverage. The rest of you will probably hate it. Sorry. Five songs to at least help start the week off right. Enjoy. : Ponytail - Easy Peasy : For a while there [...]
We heaped a little praise on Toronto-based pop outfit Golden Dogs late last year, and have kept a close eye and ear since that discovery. The band will be travelling down to SXSW this year, and plan to release their new LP Dine Alone here in the U.S. on April 26th. Here is a taste fo what you can expect on the new album... MP3 : Golden Dogs - Long As You Like [...]
As per usual, the Ack and I will be nowhere near Austin, Texas next month when the famous South x Southwest music festival takes place. We'll be here in Halifax cursing the never-ending winter and griping about all the SXSW emails that will continually remind us that we're missing a lot of tacos, beer & BBQ. Oh, and music. But, with the news that our favorite festival will be hosting a showcase at SXSW , we thought at least one post on the festival couldn't hurt. Obviously this is that [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases While the old saying 'quality over quantity' is usually a good thing to keep in mind, however clichéd, if you can muster both then why not commit yourself to an assembly-line pace? That's just what Toronto's Zeus is planning for in 2011 and beyond. "When we come back from Australia we're definitely going to hunker down and record another full-length," multi-instrumentalist and singer Carlin [...]
The Golden Dogs are Toronto-based poppers whose ebullience belies the fact that they've been mucking in the indie-rock soup for pert near a decade. Their third full-length, Coat Of Arms, was recorded over the course of a year with the help of Carlin Nicholson and Mike O'Brien of Zeus, and finds the band once again expanding their Not satisfied with just doing the music than, the band also has an ongoing music video project called Home Movie . What is that, you ask? Seems The Golden Dogs are in [...]

R.I.P. Paste Magazine . Despite its tendency to be too liberal with positive reviews , I'm going to miss it. I always hoped I'd write for it one day. Here's "Permenant Record" a skittish, shrieky rocker from Toronto's the Golden Dogs . It's got yelping vocals, pummeling start-stop verses, and a quirky breakdown with some goofy sounding keyboard leads. Once these fireworks are over, the song ends with a brief, mellowed-out coda. The track comes from this year's Coat of Arms . It's a stellar tune, and not just [...]
Caleb Byers It's been a half-decade since Kathryn Calder joined The New Pornographers in 2005, and in that time she's gone from handling the impossible task of pinch-hitting on tours for Neko Case to appearing on their last three members and becoming an as integral part of the band - her parts may not have the force of personality as Case's, but her more delicate approach offers an important contrast and gives Carl Newman another invaluable tool in assembling his power pop symphonies. But prior to joining the Pornographers, Calder had [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , New Music , Canada It's been four long years since Toronto band the Golden Dogs released their sophomore record, 'Big Eye Little Eye.' Rumblings of a new album floated around for the past two years, but 'Coat of Arms' wasn't unleashed upon the world until this past month. "It's taken forever but it's finally here," frontman Dave Azzolini tells Spinner. "It was silly how long it took. I'm making a rule to not take [...]
Between the many great albums out this week, coupled with those missed from last week, going to the record store would provide quite the headache in what to pick up other than Arcade Fire's latest. Obviously, the band's third album, The Suburbs , is what everyone will be primed to pick up today. Though, I would definitely recommend the new Autolux album, Transit Transit , along with some excellent releases from Best Coast , The Magic Numbers , Menomena , Young Galaxy , and Versus . [...]
