bands
Slate Pacific – Eccentrics and Young Professionals
(Forward Music Group, 2010)
It Kills
(Self-released, 2010)
“It Kills embodies human experience through spiritual sound.” – The Coast
Richard Laviolette & the Oil Spills – All of Your Raw Materials
(You’ve Changed Records, 2010)
“Amongst the most gifted young Canadian songwriters, Richard Laviolette’s full-blown country exploration with the Oil Spills has rendered his most startling and cohesive collection yet.” – Exclaim
Colleen And Paul – Self-Titled
(2010)
Glory Glory Man United – Zombies!!!
(Out Of Sounds Records, 2010)
“…destined to attract the attention and favor of Constantines, Sonic Youth and Mission Of Burma fans, but the record is made all the more exciting by the fact that Glory Glory Man United is only getting started” – Ground Control
Daniel Romano – Workin’ For The Music Man
(You’ve Changed Records, 2010)
“…the most intimate set of songs he’s written, and perhaps his greatest musical achievement to date.” -Quick Before it Melts
La Strada – New Home
(Ernest Jenning Record Co., 2010)
“All in all, New Home is an incredible album”
- I (heart) Music
Owl – Chants (The Vibrations in the Streets Keep Me Weak in the Knees)
(2010)
“…a quiet underbelly of synth and threads of guitar, while Murnaghan’s low, sweet voice sings about friends and lovers.”
- The Coast
Steve Poltz – Dreamhouse
(New Scotland Records, 2010)
“…another gem in his sparkling catalog.”
- Herohill
Laura Merrimen – Love Letters For Lonely Hunters
(2010)
“The mature rustic-edge to her voice and the uber-southern comfort she imbues with her phrasing are generally hallmarks of a veteran recording artist like Rosanne Cash.”
- Pennyblack Music (UK)
The Robots – Hey Buddy, Dummy
(Night Danger, 2010)
“The Robots sound like a great lost band from the ’90s.” – I (heart) Music
The Gertrudes – Shanty Song/Sailor 7″
(2010)
“The large band references past eras in hushed tones and adds atmospheric textures that pull the music into the present.” – Now Magazine
Apollo Ghosts – Mount Benson
(2010)
“If Apollo Ghosts’ vinyl-only debut, Hastings Sunrise, elevated the Vancouver trio to buzz-cult status last year, the band’s sophomore effort, Mount Benson, is bound to be its big breakthrough.” – Vancouver Sun
Andrew Watt and the Glory Glory – First Day of Summer Life
(2010)
“It’s a soaring pop beat with ascending choruses and that trademark driving-along-the-beach feel.” – RoundLetters
The Sheepdogs – Learn & Burn
(2010)
“…they’ve certainly soaked up all the right ’70s influences. But, more importantly, they’ve got the songs to match the sound.” – Eye Weekly
The Stance – I Left Love Behind a Long Time Ago
(Just Friends Records, 2010)
“I love it when a band appears to have all their shit together like The Stance does, they know who they are, they know their place, and they know how to do what they do well.”
- Quick Before it Melts
The Pinecones – Sage
(Just Friends Records, 2010)
“A great album for your nephew, his grandfather or anyone in between.” – The Globe and Mail
Ruth Minnikin – Depend On This
(Songmill Music, 2009)
“Perhaps the standout is the blissful title track that uses terrific horns and steel during the verses before exploding into a sing-along chorus.” – Herohill
Daniel, Fred & Julie – Self-titled
(You’ve Changed, 2009)
“Not like a Monsters of Folk, but more haunting and pain filled like a Ghosts of Folk…The record – aptly titled Daniel, Fred & Julie – is probably my favorite record of the year.” – Herohill
Dog Day – Elder Schoolhouse
(Divorce, 2009)
“…among the best they’ve recorded. It would be easy to credit White with this victory, but it’s just as likely that he happened to come along right when Dog Day were hitting a creative peak.” – Chartattack
Prairie Cat – It Began/Ended With Sparks
(Fuzzy Logic, 2009)
“There’s not a bad track on this record, every one is instantly accessible and enjoyable, but the subtle layers really make you want to sit down alone with your headphones on, mining the tracks for hidden treasures.” – Herohill
A History Of – Action in the North Atlantic
(Noyes, 2009)
“The 10-song, 35-minute tour-de-force assaults you with sing/shouted vocals, heavy drums and huge guitar…the band plays with an intensity that is missing from far too many of today’s bands.” – Herohill
Gravity Wave – Gambol
(Fuzzy Logic, 2009)
“…the new tracks are beautifully orchestrated and exude a laconic Nick Cave/Tom Waits feeling.” – Eye Weekly.com
Jenocide – Machines To Make Us Wet
(2009)
“…Clarke navigates vocal history with PJ Harvey wails, Sleater-Kinney grit, Blondie rhymes and a Morrissey-like croon atop changing electronic blips, bounce and buzz.” – The Coast
York Redoubt – York Redoubt
(Noyes, 2009)
“Weaving complicated threads of stubborn-catchiness between time-signatures that make so-much-nonsense and vocal harmonies buried within angular distortion, it’s difficult to turn your attention away from the album and it’ll be no-time before you’ve listened to the entire thing six or seven times. ” – Weird Canada
