Kiwi Jr. Releases a ‘Cooler Returns’ Comic Book and Announce Tour Dates

As part of the grand scheme of normal, and our slow but unceasing march back towards it, Kiwi Jr. have done their part, contributing in their own measure and kind with the announcement of some long-overdue tour dates. Nature is beginning to heal itself.

More excitingly, depending on your perspective, is the opportunity to pick up some especially curious and flashy new merch from the band while at said tour dates (or via their Bandcamp page if you’re feeling less patient).

Joshua Carter Talks About Going Solo, The Future of Coyote, and His Debut Single ‘Under My Skin’

Joshua Carter is already a very recognizable face from Prince Edward Island’s music scene. He’s been a longstanding member of the award-winning bands Coyote and Calm Baretta, but the last year and a half has challenged him to move forward on his own terms—or, at least the terms required by isolation.

Carter has taken a solo approach to pen his latest release, “Under My Skin,” for a far more subdued track than we’re used to hearing from him. That being said, just because he’s dialed it back a bit doesn’t mean he’s stripped it down to a solo guitar; he’s brought a couple of his talented bandmates to fill out this release.

Two years after first forming, Charlottetown-based indie rock trio Absolute Losers have released a pair of guitar-drenched debut singles, “Astray” and “Coexist.” Inspired by the sounds of Alberta’s art-rock scene, particularly bands like Women, Preoccupations, and Faux Fur, Daniel Hartinger (drums), Josh Langille (guitar), and Sam Langille (bass, lead vocals) decided they wanted to get in on the fun themselves.

Andrew Waite Puts in the Hours on Summertime Feel-Good Song ‘Full Time, Tryin’ 2 Luv’

Andrew Waite is back with a summertime anthem about finding love the hard way, even if it takes more than a few tries. “Full Time, Tryin’ 2 Luv” would be the feel-good hit of the season, and still can be, if you’re capable of overlooking just how awful dating can be.

Alicia Toner’s ‘Joke’s on Me’ Is for the Pep Talk You Should Have Heard From Yourself

After the release of Dangerous Home in 2019, award-winning Prince Edward Island musician Alicia Toner raised the bar for crafting songs of a personal nature. Covering an assortment of abuses, self-afflicted and otherwise, and the challenges of struggling to maintain a solid footing on her mental health while several factors independently and collectively worked to erode that foundation, the album laid bare some difficult to address themes in a cold and honest light.

Now, with a sophomore album coming at the end of June, Alicia Toner has released a new single, titled “Joke’s on Me,” a song about denial and the precursor to what may potentially be Toner’s most personal work yet.
