Mitch Currie Tackles the Anxiety of Languishing on ‘Knife In My Neck’

“I’m just hoping for a little change,” sings Mitch Currie before comparing his current situation to a knife in his neck. It’s a pretty passive response to such a dire complaint but considering that Currie, like the rest of us, is suffering from an acute case of languishing, pacing has turned into a major theme. Currie’s latest single, “Knife in my Neck,” is an expression of his frustrations at having his life stalled, just at the point when it was about to take off.

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’
