It’s the first single off of Neither Could Dylan’s upcoming album Foxchase and it’s officially streaming everywhere today. We asked NCD what it’s all about and here’s what she had to say: Falling in love has the ability to completely alter your entire world. It can make your heart race, it can make you lose focus, it can even make you forget how to speak … Continue reading Neither Could Dylan Release: Girls Like Me
When you think of Tuscany, you probably think about the rolling hills of the countryside, full of the world’s best winemakers bustling away in expansive vineyards, or perhaps your mind drifts to the coastal towns and their cobblestone roads, quaint cafes serving fresh creamy lattes with sweet treats to ease you into a relaxing morning strolling in and out of artisan shops. It shouldn’t, but … Continue reading Discover an Angel with Hand on Heart
Like the steady rumbling of an unseen oncoming train, the latest by Toronto-based folk songwriter Danté Ravenhearst seems to emerge from the distance with a certain spine-tingling sensation that suggests there’s much more underneath the surface of this brooding folk-rock track. Its initial beatings are steady and purposeful as the drums provide an encouraging pulse to the bass that is casually bumping alongside before Ravenhearst … Continue reading Peel yourself off the Asphalt for Danté Ravenhearst
I was fortunate to meet recording artist Maneframe over Threads recently over our mutual love of catchy pop-punk, but Maneframe dabbles in all sorts of different sonic landscapes and when they told me they had an instrumental record coming out, I had to have a listen. Mellow Melodies is available on all streaming services today and it boasts an impressive 15-song track list. You might … Continue reading Enter the Maneframe With Mellow Melodies
The latest by Alex Southey wouldn’t sound terribly out of place somewhere within The Arkells early repertoire; even vocally he almost takes on a style I can only describe as a sleepy and slightly slurring Max Kerman sitting on the floor of his McMaster dorm room after striking out while trying to pick-up at a college party he stayed much too late out at. Much … Continue reading I wanna tell you about Alex Southey’s God’s Green Earth
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve reached the limit of your mental and emotional capabilities when struggling with an experience, you might have felt like you understood for the first time what it means to truly become insane. But how did you get there? What led you down that road and why didn’t you veer left when those signs told you this was a dead … Continue reading Explore the Evolution of Insanity with Mind Mine
It’s a tale as old as time. A young Norweigan woman takes to the stage: a portable computer set-up, we imagine, with her hand delicately placed on the mouse that rests just to the right of its keyboard. She’s about to hit record on her latest YouTube video, a cover song recreation of a classic masterpiece. Today, she takes an extra moment to light a … Continue reading Relive the Magic of Beauty and the Beast with Minniva

We’ve come a long way since the first audio cassette, but a lot of underground indie artists are still breaking through the crowded sound barrier that is the modern music industry by using similar appraoches as the earliest multi-track recording artists did. Through the lens of musician and sound designer Dino DiMuro who’s lived through it all, we revisit the early days of audio recording … Continue reading Cassette Underground: The First Indie Revolution
