There is something weightless about Bailey Kate’s songs – they pass by with a kind of supernatural ease. Timeless songwriting and dextrous arrangements are the cornerstones of her forthcoming debut record, Within / Without. Exploring themes of relationships, community, and existential dread with clear-eyed sincerity, the record is backed by a hot band of some of Alberta’s finest musicians including members of Starpainter, The Moonrunners, and The Silkstones.
“Care,” the first single to be recorded by this lineup, is both a reflection and a reminder that self care can’t be left out of the equation when seeking to achieve your goals. Its mood captures a desperate momentum where things are happening at a pace that can’t be maintained long term.
A heavy and emotional meaning characterizes Tarbox’s new album, Saviors, out now. The post-grunge group, who hail from Montreal, have included “Vulnerable” as the album’s focus track.
This song is an emotive, guitar heavy exploration of the need to feel a glimpse of reality that you can only get through pure adrenaline – even if you know it’ll cost your life. After several years of working on different projects and touring across Canada, Tony, Simon, Deiz and Jack decided to form Tarbox. Through their post-grunge and alternative vibe, the band manages to give groove and a new flavour to these somewhat forgotten styles. With the help of Dave Traina from The Damn Truth, Tarbox produced and recorded their first album as a band at The FreqShop studio (The Franklin Electric, We Are Monroe, John Jacob Magystery), in Montreal. With a heavy and emotional meaning behind it, this new album offers a wide range of intensity and dynamics. Of course, the band can’t wait to get back on the road and play in front of their fans. Meanwhile, another record is already in the works.
As one half of Toronto, Ontario’s alternative duo, USS, Human Kebab has seen his DJ career take him across the world over the past-decade. Affectionately known as the “after party before the party,” he scours the world for the best rock and alternative remixes before blending them into an hour-long dance smashup.
New single, “The Boardroom,” originally began to take shape in 2004 while Human Kebab was working a dead end job. The dream of going corporate was starting to fade so he put all of his energy into being the opposite. 17 years later, the song reached completion.
The Wildfires Projekt is the latest explosion into the California Nu-Punk scene. The band is currently sharing their new video and single for “Paradise” ft. SayWeCanFly, which is filled to the brim with thought-provoking lyricism and haunting undertones. As they combine elements of their New Jersey Pop-Punk, Emo roots with West Coast Hip Hop stylings, the group has created a sound that is unique and undeniable.
“Paradise” ft. SayWeCanFly is the third single from their upcoming EP Lost and Searching in which they touch upon the darker side of Hollywood, and how many aspiring artists seeking fame and fortune only find despair.
“Paradise is the story of those who have experienced the truth of Hollywood. While it may be paved with gold in our heads, the true reality is that most people who come seeking fame and fortune often end up less than who they were before. Hollywood isn’t as beautiful as it seems, it’s where dreams go to die.” – The Wildfires Projekt

Chloe Florence is a singer-songwriter born and raised in Montreal, Canada. Raised in a musical family, Chloe began piano and vocal lessons at an early age and now works in a variety of creative mediums, including as a visual artist and model.
Her voice evokes the jazz and blues greats of the 1940s, a sound which Chloe has translated into music that combines R&B and pop. Her debut EP, Ego Pleaser, features the title track, a song about struggling to find the balance between the needs of one’s ego and one’s soul.
Listen to the song here:
This playfully vocal pop song follows a character that Chloe has developed for her EP who is so fearful of being vulnerable that she can not open herself up to anyone. This striking, percussive track is a key chapter in the character’s story.
