Lemon Cash started out as a cover band, forming an alternative rock band with some local friends from their hometown of Ottawa, Ontario. Looking to evolve their music, Cory and Jeff found their sweet spot and transitioned into the country world where they would come to realize this is where their tastes and personalities fit best. 

The inspiration to switch to the country genre came from their parents: Jeff Sr. and Sandra. They introduced Jeff and Cory to country music at a very young age. Listening to a wide range of artists such as Patsy Cline, George Jones, George Strait, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks. These country legends became the inspiration for the brothers beginning to write and perform their own songs with their signature blend of harmonies and a tinge of their love of rock music thrown into the lemonade of Lemon Cash. 

“Wildside” is the new single. Written by Jeff and Cory Papineau, it is an homage to your inner child.  Every so often we just need to forget about the world’s problems, and grab your “Bonnie or Clyde”, step out of your comfort zone and just let go.

Vancouver-based musician Jessicka gets listeners dancing with trance-like beats and melodic lyrics that conjure positivity. Her infectious sense of rhythm, peace and genuine joy took the Canadian pop world by storm with three previous lauded EPs. 

Now she has teamed up with Grammy Award-winning producer John Congleton to release her fourth EP, uptempo and empowering Mistress Queen. Listen to it here, about allowing despair to have a voice while maintaining queen status. 

When everything around you is crumbling, all you want is a voice to say they’ll catch you if you fall. Set to a propelling, high energy beat, “I Hear You Calling” captures the inner battle of giving up on yourself versus the confidence to overcome the darkness. 

HjNX is a Toronto-based duo fronted by multi-instrumentalist Gregory Ambrose Calderone and supported by co-writer/co-producer/sibling Nicemark. In 2010, Gregory was cast as the lead in Bruce MacDonald’s This Movie is Broken (Rhombus Media), alongside indie rock icons Broken Social Scene. The production led to several collaborations between the Calderone brothers and Brendan Canning of BSS, including support during a North American tour of Canning’s solo album You Gots 2 Chill, and later, the writing/recording of his follow-up album Home Wrecking Years (Arts and Crafts).

When the pandemic hit in early 2020, HjNX immediately got to work building a recording studio/independent label: Apt. Sea. With the studio now complete, the duo are continuing their exploration of creating genre-bending music.

The duo’s new single, “Meteorite,” is the follow-up to their debut single “Shake Down”. It’s a song for romantic renegades – the ones willing to cross the cosmos in pursuit of love and liberty.

His new solo LP, The Tower, is a batch of pensive songs about separation and disconnection, about bigotry and tragedy, about galvanization and hope, about love, love, love.

Gifted multi-instrumentalist Geordie Gordon inherited a familial DIY gene; the son of folk musician James Gordon and younger brother of subterranean rock music genius, Evan Gordon, he was practically raised in the family’s home recording studio, Pipe Street, where, beyond developing engineering chops, he adopted self-reliance to bring his imagination to life. Gordon can play almost any instrument he picks up, which is handy because he has a lot of thoughts that could use rad soundtracks. 

While it may be strange to admit this, the pandemic gave the blossoming friendship between prolific Montréal bassist, Mishka Stein, and innovative producer, Samuel Woywitka, a chance to develop and time to explore, leading the duo to write and record their first album.

The result is FHANG – their self-titled debut album out now, is on Woywitka’s newly created Hidden Ship label. 
Focus track, “Many Moons,” featuring LA duo TiRon & Ayomari, creates a warm groove through rhapsodic and euphoric experimental hip hop.
