Actors – It Will Come To You
From Vancouver, Canada, Actors electrify with a modern take on post-punk. On debut full-length It Will Come to You, anthemic songs evoke the urgency of early-’80s U2 (Boy, October, War) as well as the driving, synth-drenched scores that emanated from that era’s movie screens. As scene authority Post-Punk.com put it, the band conjures “cinematic new-wave… that belongs on a Michael Mann soundtrack.”(Bucketlist Music Reviews)

Ensign Broderick – Feast Of Panthers
Miesha & The Spanks – Girls Girls Girls
Calgary duo Miesha & The Spanks deliver the party in their newest record Girls Girls Girls, a pop-rock feast for the ears that never slows down once you hit the play button. (Beatroute)
Nap Eyes – I’m Bad Now
Since Nap Eyes’ 2014 debut album, there have been endless comparisons between the Halifax slacker-rock band and the Velvet Underground. And while singer-songwriter Nigel Chapman does have a lot of Lou Reed in that voice of his, the band’s new album should finally let Nap Eyes stand independently of any “sounds like” territory.(CBC Music)
Scenic Route To Alaska – Tough Luck
Scenic Route to Alaska know the measure of a good hook. Tough Luck is full of them: catchy riffs cascade across its runtime without relent, erupting out of rustic pop-stompers and rock sing-alongs with equal aplomb. The Edmonton trio have locked in on an unwavering approach on their fourth album, and it serves them well.(Exclaim!)
Three Days Grace – Outsider
Living in socially complex times, what makes us feel human? With so many platforms for people to spew opinions without a filter, what is real and what is feeding a machine of dissolution, hate, and over-reaction? Do you often feel like you want to break away from it all? Become…the outsider? Well, fortunately many of us are not alone in feeling exhausted and, at times, drowning in sensory overload. No, Three Days Grace can relate and with that they bring to the table their latest album, Outsider, due out Friday, March 9, 2018, through RCA Records.(
Hello. Anybody home?
hello
sorry for the delayed post
No worries, Thanks for the new music.
It’ll give me something to listen to.
Good morning!
Re-hello!
Hello hello! Great new music to check out again this week!
He sure does sound like Lou Reed. wow
The final 10 has been announced
Searchlight
The Lou Reed-sounding guy also sounds a bit like the main guy in They Might Be Giants.
it’s so stupid that they make you sign in or create an account to vote on searchlight… don’t they know we all used to already have accounts and then they redesigned the site, making our accounts void? fuck cbc, honestly. such garbage.
Anyway, can’t say as I’ve payed any mind to it other than looking at Grant Lawrences post a few days ago on FB, and now he top ten. I hope the winner is the least shlocky of the bunch… someone who will keep on keeping on regardless if they win or not.
Anywho.
Nice to see you!
regarding those new releases, I find it shocking that 3 Days Grace is still a thing. I think they had their first big hit right around the turn of the century if I’m not mistaken, and I saw them at some summer rock fests. Never figured they’d last this long!
Thanks for dropping in Tom. I can hear your voice when I read your comments.
I have still been busy at the other studio. I usually enjoy discovering new music in the Searchlight contest. I am not a big fan of how they are doing it now but keep trying to work with it.
There will be a playlist tomorrow for International Women’s Day even if it is a day late.
