[MP3] Fitness Club Fiasco: “Hades”

Fitness Club Fiasco, of Toronto, is back with new single “Hades,” which was actually inspired by the band’s experience watching loved ones battle cancer. The emotional highs and lows are on full display in this dynamic track. Driven by electro beats and lulling harmonies, “Hades” is a sufficiently lush tune.

River Tiber releases The Star Falls EP

There’s a little bluebird sitting on my fire escape. For a while, any movement I made turned him into a goner. But now I can approach the window and he’s prepared for my presence. He cocks his head ever so slightly to the side, but keeps his eyes affixed on me. I wonder […]

[MP3] Miss Elizabeth: “Ein Weißwein”

A new song from our Toronto friends, Miss Elizabeth, premiered on MOKB last week, and I’m beginning to think the duo can do no (rhymez, yo!) wrong. Atmospheric harmonies and a sensory experience make “Ein Weißwein” one to remember.

Miss Elizabeth

Miss Elizabeth is two dudes out of Toronto, one of whom I’ve written about in the past. Absurdly catchy electronic pop, Miss Elizabeth is one of those bands I can listen to on the crowded NYC subway and lose myself. I’d be tapping my feet and bopping my head and shaking my body […]

[MP3] Digits: “So Cold”

He’s baaaack. Digits (aka Alt Altman) returns with his soothing electronic jazz pop (does that sufficiently describe the sound?) on his latest single, “So Cold.”

Triple Gangers

For those of us who had work (or school) off due to Martin Luther King Jr. day, I’ve got a band that will surely provide a jump start to our real week. This Toronto trio knows how to have fun with their music, and, better yet, knows how to show the listener that […]

Powers

You’re right. I am power hungry these days. So sue me. After getting in a good listen to Power Player, I heard word of a new power band, this time titled, well, simply “Powers.”

A four-piece from Toronto, Powers plays mind-numbing electro pop awash in synthesizer and 80s style vocals. They’re set to […]

Snowblink

Snowblink is a band I should have posted about a long time ago, especially after hearing their single “Ambergris” in anticipation of their record Long Live, which was released today. Also released today was a new mp3, “The Tired Bees”, a short but sweet number.

Snowblink is currently Daniela Gesundheit and Dan Goldman, […]

The Conduits

It’s time for The Conduits. Such a sweet duo, these two. It’s like they’ve known each other for years with their brilliant chemistry! Except…they’ve never even met. Christopher Postill lives in Toronto and Heather Mauch lives in San Fransisco. As far as North America is concerned, they couldn’t be living much farther away from […]
