Paragon Cause have returned with the own special brand of the ethereal electro-rock. Their latest single “Think I’m Going Crazy Over You,” or the Jupiter Mix thereof, indulges in the modern themes of mental fatigue and DIY-esthetics of a family home video on steroids and maybe something more.

Honey Gut Find Their Breaking Point With ‘Something’s Gotta Give’
Joshua Sangster swears that he’s an optimist, but the Honey Gut frontman says he found his breaking point this year. “Something’s Gotta Give” is exactly what it sounds like, the band’s new single is a reflection of humanity’s failings and the impact that they’ve wrought on Sangster’s soul.

Body Paint Spend More Than a Year in the Desert Chasing Their ‘Mirage’
It took Body Paint nearly two years, two bassists, and two producers to get “Mirage” out of the desert. The band struggled to record and produce the single, trying to get the exact sound that they felt the song deserved.

Adam Young Serves Up Two Styles of ‘Corned Beef and Garbage’
2018 was set up to be a slow year for Adam Young. On what he describes as a “lazy New Years Day,” with nothing else that looked terribly pressing on his schedule, he committed himself to a year-long songwriting challenge, ambitiously taking on the self-imposed project of turning out one song a day. The first single from that endeavour, “Corned Beef and Garbage” provides a taste of what to expect from Young in two flavours: a traditional version pairing Young’s Cape Breton style of piano playing against Chrissy Crowley and Colin Grant’s fiddles, and a second more modern New Orleans style with a jaunty beat from Brian Talbot propping up a whole section of woodwinds from Brad Reid.
