We’re an Ottawa based quartet and we play music we like to call ‘pelvic rock’. It’s rock that makes you want to thrust your pelvis. Silvergun & Spleen is a band of 4 best friends, passionate about life, making music and having fun. That’s what this band is about. We hope to transmit that to as many people as possible. Our first LP, ‘Semi Truck’, was released in September of 2012 and we plan to tour it a whole bunch this year. We love to keep busy on Facebook and twitter and we’re always posting new [...]

The Toronto based indie rock band, The Beaches , kick a ton of ass. This all-female ensemble makes great music with what this humble listener calls a destined-for-greatness-swagger . These ladies should be on your radar. If you don’t know… Now you know. Dig. Absolutely Nothing - The Beaches

Artwork por Erik Kirtley Leía un texto que Tim Thompson (del blog Smoke Don't Smoke) hizo acerca del artista David Como, mejor conocido como Sing Leaf , y después de escuchar por completo su álbum debut Watery Moon , no podría estar más de acuerdo con él. Menciona que es música electrónica que va de aquí para allá entre cálidas mezclas, nunca con saltos bruscos o molestos, sino manteniendo un estado claramente definido que vuelve cada una de sus melodías en algo universal. " For me, it sounds instantly classic, [...]
"Wherever you hang your pigeon-holing comparison hat, there's no denying that there's something sleek, catchy and stylish about these three Ontario natives. New single 'Two Reasons' (out now on Sonic Unyon) is a taught set of angular melodies, tinged with joyful regret, Sort of like Franz Ferdinand without the smugness. There's an album called 'Stay Young' on the way and it's probably fair to expect the serious business of having fun to loom large on that as well. The 'must see' video is a collaboration between the band and Michigan artist James Kuhn. 'Stay Young' was written and recorded as [...]

Born into a space between the notes of Fleetwood Mac and the words of Sylvia Plath'. We are Running Red Lights. Back in 2006 we were on our way to catch a train when we we fell into yesterday's sunset. Littered like paper over the road to nowhere we blew like tumbleweed into 2012. Along the way we swallowed a few bitter pills, collected the sum of a thousand mistakes and ultimately un-earthed an anthology of songs and a sound. We look out of the sunset still dreaming of a way out. We're older than when we were young and [...]
