Pick away at anything long enough and it’ll be an art form, and that includes whatever we were doing in the mid-90s. Arguably, Skeleton Club have had two and a half decades to perfect their video for “Wormz” and the result is gloriously bizarre lo-fi bliss.

‘Still The Water’ Wades Through Connection, Guilt, and the Sanctity of Hockey
Following a year on the international film festival circuit, Susan Rodgers’ first scripted feature film Still The Water is seeing a Canada and US release at the end of April. A sorrowful dig into the messy nature of small-town east coast life, this gorgeously crafted tale of Prince Edward Island makes a strong impact emotionally and visually. Following the ever-down-on-his-luck hockey player Jordie MacAulay, we are privy to his family’s pendulous spiral at Jordie’s return home and all of the old wounds that he brings with him.

Short For Arthur Provide Some Life Lessons To Help Us Get By With ‘Note to Self’
It’s nice to imagine what Moncton’s Short For Arthur might sound like at an honest-to-goodness, living, breathing music festival. The eclectic and electric brand of indie rock rubs up against the flanks of blues, jazz, electronic and, most importantly, psychedelic jams in a way that inspires all the high-energy head fuzz of a late-night dopamine binge. Their singles have consistently kicked over the can of absurdist nonsense to indulge in a playful form of art rock, but not without hiding some very poignant needles in their metaphorical haystack.
Their latest single, “Note to Self,” has those needles (not to mention the jams) in abundance; literally listing out for you some quality life lessons and accompanied by a tasty bassline. Continue reading Short For Arthur Provide Some Life Lessons To Help Us Get By With ‘Note to Self’
Dayna Manning, Damhnait Doyle and Tara MacLean Perform Online Earth Day Show via Home Routes – ‘Grounded’
Dayna Manning, Damhnait Doyle and Tara MacLean, three great friends, songwriters, labelmates and fellow travellers, will be coming together for a special performance in recognition of the fact that our ongoing existence is largely dependant on a thin veneer of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon compounds, that have been roughly scraped over the surface of a rock that is hurtling through the vacuum of space at mind-boggling speeds, or “Earth Day” as some call it. Continue reading Dayna Manning, Damhnait Doyle and Tara MacLean Perform Online Earth Day Show via Home Routes – ‘Grounded’
StoneHouse Explore a New Sound as a Trio with ‘Holy Water’
StoneHouse might be one of our favourite bands to catch live, but it’s been a minute since we were last able to confirm that. Like all of us, they’ve been hunkered down for the last year, and they’ve been using the time for a bit of reinvention. The New Glasgow four-piece has become a three-piece and they’ve scrapped their tour funds to build a studio. Now they’re exploring their new sound as “three guys locked in a basement in a small town” with their latest single, “Holy Water.” Continue reading StoneHouse Explore a New Sound as a Trio with ‘Holy Water’
