Kayla Diamond only recently started her professional music career. After winning Slaight Music’s “It’s Your Shot” competition in 2015, she left law school and has since racked up an impressive engagement with her audience including 8+ million streams on Spotify and a handful of editorial playlists.

Kayla just released a new single, “always been you,” along with an official video. The song is light and airy pop in comparison to Kayla’s past, moodier releases. Lyrically, the takeaway is that with great love comes feelings of angst.

The rush of cliff diving while blindfolded. Sleepless nights spent staring at the ceiling. The surreal, otherworldly tone of a David Lynch film. All of these moods collide in Toronto outfit Phantom Atlantic’s cinematic brand of alternative rock for seekers.

The band’s new single, “No Way to Live,” is the band at its most energetic, fusing lead singer Kyle Brunet’s primal vocals to a backbone of driving rhythm and pounding steam-engine-guitar grit. 

The song is a sharp reprisal against the self-destructive patterns of behavior that we know are dragging us down but still struggle to break.

Toronto’s Bike Club debut EP, Find Romance, dropped on October 16th. Taking inspiration from late ‘70s power pop and early ‘90s east coast Canadian indie rock, principal songwriter Eric Warner has crafted a record that wears its heart on its sleeve. Members of The Elwins offered up their collaboration to flesh out each song’s idea and structure to bring them to life. 

Recorded back in 2017 at Toronto’s Fox Sounds, Find Romance was produced by Feurd Moore of The Elwins, mixed by Jay Nunes of the Meligrove Band and mastered by Dany Laj this past May.

Canadian singer-songwriter Michael Bernard Fitzgerald has collected an audience of fans across North America drawn to simple honest words and a genuine smile. Coupling unique and innovative ideas with his inherent warmth, MBF engages with people in a way that always leaves them meaningfully connected.

The brand new full-length, Love Valley, is about arriving at calm. MBF paints a detailed picture of his dream place, inviting listeners to create their own.

MBF had written most of Love Valley at the point “Heart Of It” came to be. A proclamation of simple love, the idea is universal – we can all have that person in our lives that is important to our story while simultaneously being that for them as well.

Jasmine Rodgers’ “Flies” is a lyrical study of survival and mortality and the minutiae of life that signpost hopes and frustrations. Building slowly from its guitar- and vocal-led core, Rodgers gradually and subtly elevates the track through the introduction of piano and layered-reverbs.

Jasmine Rodgers has a rapidly-growing reputation for fusing influences from rock, blues, soul, folk and country into lush musical textures layered with poetic lyrics. Four years after the release of her acclaimed album Blood Red Sun, Jasmine is back with “Flies”, the first single from her forthcoming EP.

Hailing from rain-soaked concrete forests of Vancouver, B.C., experimental drone metal band New Age Doom combines and contradicts its namesake genres to create a unique vision of extreme music. 

Catch Acoustolectric Invocation,” the first single off of Himalayan Dream Techno below:

Led by the core duo of drummer Eric J. Breitenbach and multi-instrumentalist Greg Valou, New Age Doom are set to release their sophomore album, Himalayan Dream Techno, this winter. It was an open-ended, organic and intuitive process between collaborators; one without plans or discussions. They are joined by Gregory Macdonald AKA “ColaWars” (Limblifter, Sloan) on analog synthesizer and Tim Lefebvre (Donny McCaslin, David Bowie’s Blackstar) on analog synthesizers and upright bass. The resulting record, dense with rolling percussion, lush synths and tube amplifier feedback, is a sonic dreamscape that bursts with serenity and chaos in equal measure.
