Dog Day have joined a motley crew of bands that includes Nickelback and The Cure (but not Mötley Crüe) as they sing of some curious photographs. And much like we will never know exactly what was on Joey’s head, we will also never guess what Dog Day saw, aside from the opportunity to lord this secret knowledge over us through subtle humour while hinting they might also be lizard people.

Music Video: Quote the Raven Sing of the Highs and Lows of Life in the Music Industry on ‘Hope’
The last two years have been big ones for Newfoundland duo Quote the Raven. The pair won Music Newfoundland’s 2019 Group of the Year Award, were nominated for Rising Star Recording of the Year by the ECMA, performed at the Americana Fest in Nashville along with multiple tours from Newfoundland to Ontario and a whole lot more. So 2020 probably came as a shock to their systems; the crash at the end of a major high. Their newest single, “Hope”, is a reflection of that and the highs and lows that come from working in the music industry.

Music Video: Harvey Alexander Gets Surreal With ‘Green Pillow’
It seems a contradiction of terms to describe bedroom-pop as being elegant, but Harley Alexander revels in the simplicity of it. His 2017 album, Spill Kid, deftly combined the razor edge of a movement with an intimate lo-fi connection, crooning away in solidarity. His upcoming EP, Feeling Things, promises to be his most stripped-down album yet, making space for honest narrative through austerity.
“Green Pillow,” Harley Alexander’s second single off of Feeling Things, addresses one of the top five topics of 2020 (fingers crossed) with a surreal approach to expressing an appreciation for nature. Continue reading Music Video: Harvey Alexander Gets Surreal With ‘Green Pillow’
Music Video: Brandon Voyeur Faces a Crisis of Identity on ‘Not Dead Yet’
Brandon Voyeur is a performance artist. Rather than simply releasing music out in the world and calling it a day, he has manifested a whole larger-than-life persona, a la Thin White Duke. It’s an immolation of character on a level that might make one wonder whether Voyeur wears the role, or the role wears him. It brings into question the whole nature of identity, and who we are from one minute to the next. It may have been a while since we last heard from Brandon Voyeur, as he reminds us with his latest video, he’s “Not Dead Yet”.
