Unapologetic Rockers Nameless Friends Take A Stand Against Anti-2SLGBTQIA+ Discrimination With Blistering 'Demons'

Fri Oct 20, 2023

Nameless Friends pull no punches. The rock band from London, Ontario, leaves no altar un-scorched with their latest single “Demons”, a scathing critique of right-wing, religious discrimination toward 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Check it out on YouTube here:

The closest thing the band’s debut album - Blasphemy - has to a title track, “Demons” is relentless in its assessment of queerphobic ‘Christianity’. It’s a six-minute, gospel prog epic satirizing gaslighting and toxic positivity in organized religion, that devolves into a wicked organ solo halfway through (think Deep Purple meets Dream Theatre meets Boston).

Kyle Haze's Reflective New Single 'My Shadows' Captures the Essence of the Pandemic Experience

Fri Oct 20, 2023

“My mind’s a mess but my heart is wise,” a line from Kyle Haze’s newest single “My Shadows,” captures how most of the world felt during the COVID pandemic lockdown. 

But it was during these slow days and long nights confined within the walls of his Toronto apartment that the emerging guitarist and songwriter was able to channel those emotions into the song available now.

The Canadian musician says the song is about introspection and explores themes of post heartbreak denial, solitude and melancholia. 

“My Shadows is a glimpse into a personal journey, an exploration of emotions during a time of solitude and reflection; feelings that should resonate with anyone who’s experienced the complex facets of love and loss amidst the unique circumstances of a pandemic lockdown,” Haze says.
