When I arrived to chat with Lowell Sostomi from Great Bloomers , I had to break up an afternoon beer sesh involving members Yukon Blonde , Library Voices and Great Bloomers . But Lowell was perfectly happy to take a break from backstage shenanigans at The Commodore Ballroom to talk about the band lineup changes, Trans-Canada Highwa y accidents and hardcore dental surgery! Listen to our chat... the interview show with Great Bloomers Great Bloomers "Something More" The lead single off the band's latest [...]
Library Voices - Drinking Games (music video) from Young Soul on Vimeo . Sometimes in our ninja travels, we come across a band that makes us smack our forehead in sheer disbelief that we missed the boat. With the amount of amazing music that's out there, it's bound to happen. Take for example Canadian 7-Piece Library Voices . This indie-pop ensemble has been putting out music since 2008, and it's a shame we're just now sharing some with you. Guilt aside, we're happy to shine a light on this upbeat, poppy, [...]

by teepoo This isn't the first time I've been to Edgefest, but it's the first time I was covering it. The day was hot, so much that I bought 3 $6 lemonades to quench my thirst. There were 3 stages, the main stage, side stage as well as the EDM tent that was introduced this year. I managed to get some of all three. ______________________________ ___________________________ THE EDM TENT [...]

Up until compiling this list, I was pretty sure 2011 was not a fantastic year for music. Well, I may have been completely wrong. There might not have been giant releases from the most prominent artists of our generation, but this is only because there are no more prominent artists of our generation. The internet and availability of music has made anybody a contender for making a great record, and I believe it has become a complete toss up as to who makes a future classic in any given year. Relax, for this is a good thing. Here's my big [...]

The same procedure as every year: Kurz vor Silvester sitze ich wie so ziemlich jeder andere Musikblogger, -journalist und fast jeder -fan vor der schweren Aufgabe, meine Jahrescharts zu erstellen. Und wie immer wird mir spätestens morgen noch ein Album oder Song einfallen, den ich entweder hier vergessen habe oder bis heute noch gar nicht kenne. Das gesagt, hier ist mein kleiner Jahresrückblick. (Inhalt: Schlechte Musik | Konzerte des Jahres | Songs des Jahres | Video des Jahres | Alben des Jahres ) [...]

Photograph by Jon Bergman With no obvious favourite as in past years , we here at Ca Va Cool were left to our own devices when choosing the ten best albums of 2011. Much like the first half of our list , the top ten features a stylistic array from the year’s offerings. Plenty to enjoy, from sincere and contrived chill vibes to literary-rock, dubstep to soft-rock verging on quiet storm, and our first top album to be a debut. As always, thanks for reading. See you in 2012. [...]
