Sometimes, you just want the simple things. This is especially true if you are introverted and face the daily toll of commuting to work, taking care of family, and attempting to socialize. Hamilton, Ontario based folk-rock band Eclectic Revival understands this yearning and champions the introvert life in their new single "Boring With Me." Check it out on YouTube here:

Recorded and mixed at Lincoln County Social Club in Toronto by John Dinsmore, mastered by Phil Demetro, and featuring Miranda Mulholland on fiddle. It's a bluegrass-inspired tune written by Nick Brodie for his wife Christine, about finding joy in the 'boring' little everyday things about sharing a life with the one you love. 

"And although I sing of sailing those tall ships across the sea
Oh darling, would you be
Boring with me."

Toronto-based indie singer-songwriter Doug MacNaughton's newest single “I Believe in Love,” out now. The track serves as the sixth single off his eagerly anticipated debut album Old Enough To Know Better.

 Listen to “I Believe in Love” on YouTube here:

Written back in 2018, the new single is a heartfelt testament to how love can get us through anything. As it stands on the album, "I Believe In Love" showcases MacNaughton’s big heart and ability to compose with cinematic flair, featuring an expansive melody and a soaring electric guitar.

"Somehow," MacNaughton recalls, "It turned into an ‘80s power ballad, and Jessica Stuart contributed a killer solo!"

Burgeoning pop singer-songwriter Calvyn Cass is back with cinematic new single “Hollywood Calls,” his second release of 2023. The track is driven by dreamy production, romantic lyricism, and a certain star quality that Cass has become known for, with Wonderland Magazine recently lauding the artist as one to watch. Check it out on YouTube here:

Inspired by artists like Mariah Carey and Aerosmith, Cass’ lyricism pays homage to his love of 90s pop music, while his production style adeptly blends 2000s nostalgia with the sounds of today. “I love pop music that sparks a flame inside you,” Cass explains. “I want the music I create to move people in a way that has them feel like that song was written just for them.”

Rock music has its roots in blues music, especially blues guitarists like Lead Belly and Memphis Minnie. Given how rock music has evolved over the years into many different subgenres, it is a surprise to see a modern song evoke the spirit of classic rock n' roll. This is the case with Brooklyn blues duo Baker and Cas' newest single "My Sug". Check it out on YouTube here:

 Featuring guitar and vocals by Emmanuel Casablanca, the song immediately hooks the listener with its harmonica and chug-a-chug rock rhythm that defined early rock and roll songs like Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven". The first and second verses of the song are as catchy as the rhythm.

"My sugar don’t like it when I walk in the door too late
My sugar don't like it when I walk in the door too late
Sug don’t got to say a word, I can tell by looking at her face."

“I grab my pen, a hand that shakes
You’re in my mind, my heart that aches
I know you’re there, you’re in my soul
You’re in my smile, my every bone”

In Charlie PS’s single, “Slow Burn,” the Vancouver-based, England-born rock artist isn’t mincing words about the modern music industry.

The creativity inherent to music is what ignites the magic we feel when that bassline hits. It’s not a formula, it’s not linear, and it doesn’t require metrics for meaning - it’s a journey into humanity that makes you want to move. This is core to the concept of “Slow Burn,” a cathartic roar from Charlie PS as she unleashes her frustrations onto the track.

“Too many side eye glances I’ll never learn
Too much of a good thing, point of no return
Too many times that I wanna sit and watch it burn,
You better notice, you better know…”

Over instrumentation from Steven Roe on lead guitar, Lachlan Tocher on bass, and Brennan Buglioni on drums, Charlie PS rocks out with plenty of raw emotion.

Kismet is a beautiful word that describes fate, which sometimes has an odd way of bringing people together.

 Opening with catchy riffs from guitarist and lead singer Adam Gomori, the song has a garage rock vibe to it. As Gomori sings the first verse, his voice is backed by percussion from Tim Bacon & driving bass from Rob Frasca that punctuates the lyrics.

"There was a time I was not a part of you
Meandering vines together our branches grew
Drawing our lines, I hope they aren't parallel
Drawing our lines, where they lead I couldn't tell"
