Hillsburn can only fool us for so long. Admittedly, their sophomore album, The Wilder Beyond, is full of hits – it’s packed with award-winning songwriting and goosebump inducing harmonies. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have another agenda. It’s time to call out Hillsburn’s lyricist/guitarist Paul Aarntzen for what he really is: a filmmaker and soundtrack composer. He’s just proven it again with the bands latest video, “Sun Out To Shine.” Continue reading Music Video: Hillsburn Continue Their Filmmaking-Spree With ‘Sun Ought To Shine’

The Town Heroes have released “Poets,” their second single from their upcoming album, Everything (will be fine when we get to where we think we’re going). Of course, in the grand tradition of the internet, they’ve given it the treatment it deserves – by which we mean there’s a slow motion video of food being thrown at singer Mike Ryan.

Single: Sampson’s ‘Damned’ Is The Tip Of The Spear On ‘Dark Sky Night’
Halifax-born down-tempo indie electro-pop artist Sampson recently released a new single, “Damned,” off her most recent album, the broody but danceable Dark Sky Night. With some of the album’s track penned when she was only 15, there’s a streak of raw, formative teenage emotion that has been maintained in her music.

Music Video: Strongboy’s ‘You’re Waiting’ Asks More Questions Than It Answers
For their 2017 album Steady, Halifax five-piece Strongboy hit their bedroom pop stride hard with a new music video for their single “You’re Waiting.“ True to their genre, the video delves into the subliminal and beyond as we make a dreamscape visit into the scrapyard of our souls.
