Päter - Moonshine

Toronto-based pop-rock sensation Päter has brought us a song that is full of soul and heartfelt expression with her latest offering “Moonshine”. The star element of this track has to be the vocal performance as it is full of emotion with Pater's resonant high tones and smooth control. With a soft and reserved opening, this song really kicks into high gear at the chorus with an explosion of rock energy that is hooky and endlessly replayable. Pater is a talent you have to keep your eye on as she is sure to make waves in the indie pop-rock scene! 

Said the People - Molly!

Said the People are ushering in a renaissance of southern alt-rock music with their delectably energetic track and infectious attitude and their latest offering “Molly!” is a charming venture into the exploration of classic rock sounds. Opening with groovy riffs and electrifying vocals this song immediately draws you in and refuses to let go of your attention as you are completely invested into the soundscape of this track. The singing and instrumentation on this track complement each other perfectly and together weave an intricate tapestry of rock sounds that are satisfying to listen to and you must do yourself a favour and go check this track out!

Eleyet McConnell - Gettin’ By 

Eleyet McConnell has crafted a track with wonderful Americana influences and an unrelenting country charm with her latest offering “Gettin’ By”. This song has an upbeat energy with an optimistic edge to it where Eleyet sings about the struggles of daily life but how no matter what life throws at her she’s getting by and living to fight another day making this a message that is deeply relatable and resonant to most people who listen. The guitar work and percussion elements of this song also steal the show and bring a wonderful layer of depth to the track. I loved listening to “Gettin’ By” and so will you, so go give it a listen! 

Jim Huddleston - Go Away Joe

Jim Huddleston brings us his country blues and undeniable deep south attitude with his latest track “Go Away Joe”. This track which is a political anthem takes on the perspective of a disillusioned voter who is dissatisfied with his country's leader and is a tongue-in-cheek satirisation of conservative values. With lyrics that largely focus on decrying the agenda of the liberal party, Jim Huddleston perfectly captures the absurdity of the American political landscape and through his messaging repudiates the absurdity of the conspiracy crowd through the exaggerated nature and tone of the songwriting. The guitar work on this song is stellar and you must give it a listen!

Cliff & Susan - Neon Dreams

Cliff & Susan brings us a track that has amazing bluesy vibes and a delectable groove with their latest offering “Neon Dreams”. I loved the tone of this track with its amazing guitar work that is later complemented by a whole symphony of instrumentation that ties the soundscape together wonderfully. The vocal performance harkens to the stylings of rock icons such as Bryan Adams and Springsteen making for a satisfying listening experience. The chorus lines are hooky and add to the replayability of this track immensely. I loved listening to “Neon Dreams” and so will you so go check this track out and add it to your playlists!
