- B.A. Johnston – Gremlins 3 (Wyatt Records)
B.A. Johnston may not have taken home the Polaris Music Prize for his last effort Shit Sucks, but fans of the guitar-wielding Hamilton hero will have another chance to demand that the prestigious award #shortlistBA thanks to Gremlins 3.
- City and Colour – Peaceful Road/Rain (Dine Alone)
Two never-before-released songs, “Peaceful Road” and “Rain”. Both tracks were cut in Nashville during recording sessions for his #1 album, If I Should Go Before You. The release will be pressed to limited edition 12” black vinyl cut at 45rpm. A City and Colour Artist Exclusive (bone colour) limited to 500 will also be made available.
"PEACEFUL ROAD" (Side A: of Peaceful Road / Rain LP)"Peaceful Road" is a very special song to me – it's basically "sorrowing man pt 2". it's about the same man finding a way out and me wishing him a safe journey forward. i felt it needed its own platform rather than to be stuck in the middle of the record. so here it lies.PRE-ORDER on 12" here: http://cityandcolour.store-08.com/available on black vinyl (150gram, 45rpm) & Limited Edition, City and Colour Exclusive colour: Bone /500 units (Available Worldwide on March 3, 2017 on all digital and retail platforms)

- Danko Jones – Wild Cat
Teamrock.com has a track-by-track guide from Danko himself
- Mad Ones – Regretless (Fortune Stellar Records)
Toronto based rock ‘n’ roll trio Mad Ones are leaning to power pop on their new album Regretless, singing about girl trouble, trying to find closure and begging (well, sort of) for another chance after a breakup. A bit of Big Star by way of The Replacements make it a fun listen. (Here Comes The Flood)
- The Real McKenzies – Two Devils Will Talk (Stomp)
Two Devils Will Talk is packed with fourteen rousing songs that incorporate classic punk, hard folk, acoustic and electric instruments, all weaving in the Celtic influence for which the band is known.
The only previews I could find for the last two were via CBCMusic but I was unable to get either of them to work for me but you may have better luck than me.
- Five Alarm Funk – Sweat
- Jenn Grant – Paradise (Outside)
Which, if any, of these are you most looking forward to?
Hello
Good morning! I’m looking forward to the new Jenn Grant!
Hi Janet
Exclaim gave Jenn Grant’s new album 80%
Good morning!
Good morning.
I had to enable Flash to get the CBC Music player to work. Flash! On their fancy brand new-ish site. I’m sure it took 7 years of committee meetings to migrate to Flash from RealPlayer.
@Loozr
Sorry, that was the only place I could find preview streams for those two. I will switch as many of them as I can over to Spotify in the morning (at least I know the artists get some money that way).
That was a criticism of CBC, not you, Garf. 🙂
I know but it was me that sent you there
Jenn Grant is what I am most looking forward to of those.
B.A. Johnston has been discussed on Polaris already and I am sure there will be more. I listened and sorry B.A. fans he won’t be getting one of my votes.
I don’t think he would get mine either (if I had one)
Good job on the new release post btw Garf.
@DBS, Thank you
It isn’t quite how I want it yet because most of the artists that I reached out to either ignored me or, politely, said no. Hence the number of links.
I think many times they probably have exclusive rights with someone to stream it first. Just a guess. We aren’t known yet either. Yet.
Like I said, the ones that said no were indeed very polite and mostly because of exclusivity agreements but one was because I was about 4 weeks too early (the source I had used had an album that comes out on the 31st as comming out tomorrow)
So most of my afternoon was taken up with checking and updating the release calendar.
Still keeping you on your toes.
it keeps me busy I guess
Loozrboy, the previous site was flash as well!! I had an idea, when they were starting to build the new site that they didn’t seem to latch onto:
How about build it in HTML5 (there are some issues still with audio and HTML5) and then fall back to Flash if HTML5 is unavailable.
oh and Hi, everyone 🙂
Leif Vollebeck was on q this morning, I just got today’s podcast, and think I’ll fire it up.
I hoped they would have gone with html5 with the
desecrationrelaunchHi Wynnsie!
@janet – I love Leif’s new album so much. I should check that out too.
Whoops, that’s Leif Vollebekk, my apologies.
They still don’t have a search mechanism for the CBC site!! I saw Mark Macarthur a few weeks ago, and when I brought this up, he said “they ran outta time” pretty much. Hi Darbs!
It’s never the ones with the knowledge and actually doing the work that make the timelines for it to be done it seems.
@Michael Wynn: Yeah, I remember having to enable Flash on the old site too, but it was old. Don’t really know anything about potential issues with HTML5, but I’m pretty sure Spotify, Bandcamp, and Soundcloud don’t require Flash. CBC probably should’ve listened to you. :-p
They pretty much kicked me out of the project because of my vocal-ness. That’s ultimately why I left.
Listening to Leif talk about synesthesia. It sounds wonderful. I would like a bit of that.
DICKS!
the sporting goods store?
@Darbar, that is exactly what I thought when I listened to him talk about it! It sounds amazing! I also got a giggle out listening to Tom try to understand it.
Dicks Sporting Goods must be the second hardest legitimate business to find on Google, after MILF Financial Group.
@janet – That amused me as well! hehe
Does Russ have tourettes? I don’t think I want any of that.
I was responding to Wynnsie’s 11:53.
I figured so. hehe
Gloin is having more troubles on his journey. I am so fed up with DHL! ugh
we should start a Gloin support group
It’s so frustrating and it shouldn’t be my problem. Seriously DHL get your shit together and take care of it.
A Gloin support group for sure! And maybe a twitter account to detail his trip back to the original sender.
Darbar, I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with DHL 🙁 so frustrating for you.
A Gloin twitter account detail would have been good. At this point I would have to unpack him to take photos and then try to get all the packing back in and I don’t have time for that shit.
Thanks for listening to my rant. 🙂
