Classified Frequency is back in action this year with their latest single and video for “Can’t Run Away,” which debuts today via all digital outlets. “Can’t Run Away,” is a prominent step in the band’s already notable career as they take everything to the next level. The video is skillfully crafted in black and white as it captures the spirit of their performance and overall essence of the band.

“The song is about a complicated relationship that you know you should walk away from but you can’t because you’re hoping things will work out or you care about that person so much, you’ll be there even if they break your heart. The video is obviously a performance video but also the first time we are able to get together and play since the Covid-19 pandemic.” – Classified Frequency

Hailing from the coastal strawberry fields of Camarillo, California at the edge of Los Angeles’ Santa Monica Mountains, Steven Doman is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and audio engineer with an affinity for nature.

His new EP, Our Lady Of The High Appalachian Mountains, drew inspiration from the process of moving from California to Québec in 2016 and the moods that followed.

Focus track, “Follow The Ripples,” is a gentle piano-led pop song, written for the film En Eclaireuses by Constance Chaput-Raby, a documentary about a group of girl scouts adventuring in the forest of Estrie, Québec.

“Tulip’s head above the breeze, pendulum in the wind.” Psychedelic and warm, “Follow The Ripples” features lyrical contributions from Doman’s partner, multi-disciplinary artist Grace Singh.

The new song from OurGlassZoo was inspired by the singer’s (Josias Tschanz) experience working on the Eastside of Vancouver through a volunteer organization. It deals with the misconception of homelessness in the city through the eyes of a close friend that was lost.

Vancouver is a place of two minds: on one hand, it is wealthy, shining and beautiful – constantly growing. On the other hand poverty, addiction and hardship abound.

The poignant emotional sounds of horns mixed with the presence of guitar layers add to the melancholic/poetic concept of the song. The band wanted to create an anthem for anyone who might be adrift. ‘Here’ is the voice that reminds you that you are not alone and that there is someone that will listen and reach out their hand when you need it the most.

Theo Tams has a relaxed and soulful new single to share entitled, “Tongue Tied,” one which he considers to be “a bit of a queer anthem”. 

Written after Tams and his partner announced their engagement to their families, who weren’t exactly supportive. A light and airy, R&B inflected pop track, “Tongue Tied” captures the feeling that ‘at the end of the day, I know you’re mine and I’m yours.’ 

Lyrically, “Tongue Tied” nods to Tams’ Christian upbringing (“All our sins, no hypocrite,”) and the ways in which some Christians have reduced the gay community to “just sex, rather than the actual love, comraderie, friendship, art, and spirit that exists within so much of the community.”

“We still have a lot of support, even familial support has come around, but in that moment it was us against the world.” explains Theo.

As the release date for Allegories’ new album (Endless, out April 29th) approaches, the duo are sharing a final single, the beguiling dance track that is “Always True.”

“‘Always True’ feels like the dark part at the end of the night,” the band explains. “The wrong side of 5am. A dark warehouse bouncing to ominous synth pads, and 909s. A sudden surge of energy, a second wind, one more dance while the night wears off.”

The song builds to a dizzying crescendo, bright melodies exploring the overwhelming, comforting, exhausting, electrifying, impossible and necessary nature of human interaction.
