Single: Shaye Return for 2020 Miracle to Record ‘God’
In the category of things we didn’t expect 2020 to throw our way (of which there have been many) we have the return of Shaye, the award-winning pop-folk trio consistent of Kim Stockwood, Damhnait Doyle, and Tara MacLean. The trio reunited after a 13-year hiatus to record “God,” a song that had been written 25 years ago, just in case this was what the universe needed.

Music Video: Air Traffic Control Are Caught up in a Mystery on ‘Messed up Alone’
Last year, Air Traffic Control released a masterpiece in the form of their latest album, Great Escapes.

Music Video: Silver Wolf Band Point Out That Lake Melville Isn’t a Bay at All on ‘Estuary’
Silver Wolf Band, out of Happy Valley-Goosebay, Labrador, want to set something straight about nearby Lake Melville: it’s not a bay, it’s an estuary and probably even a metaphor. The curiously named body of water has been a matter of some debate, and in a pique of accurate hydrological pedantry, Silver Wolf Band have either laid matters to rest with the matter-of-factly titled single “Estuary,” or else stirred up a new seven-day wonder for the people of Labrador to sort out.
