We really loved Kiwi Jr.’s album, Football Money, and it seems like we weren’t the only ones. Riding on the success of the album’s 2019 Canada-wide release via Mint Records, the Prince Edward Island ex-pat-filled band have put out a fresh video for “Gimme More” and the band promise to do just that. They’re re-releasing the album worldwide on Persona Non Grata Records later this month. Continue reading Music Video: Kiwi Jr. Poised for Global Domination with ‘Gimme More’

Music Video: Carry the Lost Break the Solace of Windsor’s Textile Mill for ‘Battle Tested’
Ten years and two EPs into their music career, Carry the Lost are currently preparing for the release of their debut album. Despite the decade of history already behind them, including opening for Big Wreck, performing on Canada’s Got Talent, and having their song, “Never Easy,” be featured in the end credits of The Trailer Park Boys, Carry the Lost still had yet to take the first and most crucial step that so many Nova Scotian bands and musicians had taken before them: filming a music video at the abandoned textile mill in Windsor.

Roy’s new single, “Proud,” is an arpeggiated address to these shortcomings. Continue reading Brandon Howard Roy Addresses the Abuses Found in the Theatre Industry on ‘Proud’
The Best Music of 2019
Welcome to The Best Music of 2019, otherwise known as the principle cause of our annual staff fist fight. After carefully considering, deliberating, arguing and a few unflattering and entirely untrue remarks about some mothers, we have calculated, sorted, and contextualized what may amount to, more or less, the best music produced in Atlantic Canada during this year of our Lord, 2019. At least, according to some. The rest, we assure you, have been disposed of as humanely as possible. The undertaking has called into question our judgement, our tastes, our ethics, and any belief in a higher power, but we do so hope that enjoy this finished product.
