Andrew Waite’s New Music Video Has Us Wishing We Could Go Out Like That
Andrew Waite’s recently released single, “Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That,” just got treated to a new music video that’s an adventure of epic proportions. It might not be the latest film from Peter Jackson, but Waite’s excursion to an abandoned mansion to confront a mirror-version of himself contains more excitement than most of have seen in the last year, beyond the occasional death-defying trip to the grocery store.

Yelverton Undertow Release ‘Lakes’ After a Nineteen-Year Wait
April 2020 was a month of unprecedented shifts across Canada. Coming off the back of COVID-19’s arrival in the country, individuals and organizations from coast to coast were coming up with their own responses to this now-familiar way of life.
CBC Newfoundland saw an opportunity and took it, framing that month’s RPM (Record Production Month) Challenge as “Stay Home, Make Music.”

Thus was the birth of Yelverton Undertow’s Lakes EP. Continue reading Yelverton Undertow Release ‘Lakes’ After a Nineteen-Year Wait
