Episode 75: Rich Chris

Jesse Daly — Mon, 28 May 2018 20:21:09 +0000

Ottawa’s Rich Chris has plenty of experience in a full band sound, but on his acoustic debut Tales of Nostalgia, things get stripped down. It’s a journalistic look back at all the ways we grow and change in our 20’s, with a quick paced guitar and pop-punk vocal as your guide. Great for a cottage road trip or a night of reminiscing, this simple yet effective release is fun, loud and pleasantly surprising. Get in the loop!

Episode 74: LoFi Mind

Jesse Daly — Fri, 18 May 2018 04:36:22 +0000

An ecclectic collective of adult contemporary pop rock is on the docket today with Lo Fi Mind’s Vol.2. There’s a little something for everyone, from country to new soul, beach vibes and groovy rhythms, and 4 vastly different vocalists bringing the full band sound to life. 11+ members at any given time makes for an intricate, complex array of arrangements that explore life beyond youth, the bittersweetness of love and the wisdom that comes only with time. Get in the loop!

Episode 73: Bike Thiefs

Jesse Daly — Tue, 10 Apr 2018 19:08:33 +0000

On today’s episode we have Toronto rock band Bike Thiefs and their most recent five-track recording “Lean Into It.” They bill themselves as quote “grammatically inept three-piece rock band,” but that’s where the ineptitude ends; it’s loud and messy, but it’s also heartfelt and emotional. Punk-adjacent alt rock with a biting attitude and strong poetry, it’s surely not to be missed.

Episode 71: Jeff Eager

Jesse Daly — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 23:35:11 +0000

Neo-soul, funk, disco, R & B… Jeff Eager’s Bonavista has it all. Dancy groovy hits, an ode to Toronto’s beloved Hideout and this generation’s Isn’t She Lovely (Once in a While) are all on the horizon of this slick, soulful record. Plenty of flange guitar tones and shades of Stevie Wonder, Prince and Lenny Kravitz make this an instant classic. Get in the loop!

Episode 70: Ben Edwards

Jesse Daly — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 19:59:14 +0000

Nova Scotia born Ben Edwards takes us through a blues-inspired soft rock story of longing, wanderlust, melancholy and ultimately hope. Acoustic guitars, gently gruff vocals and vibes of Coldplay, U2 and Daughtry fill out this early release Bright Light Catastrophe while his latest single serves as a fitting epilogue. Get into it!

Jesse Daly — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 20:47:59 +0000

Modern blues, hints of country and plenty of stomps and slide guitars, we listened to Sean Pinchin‘s Juno award winning Monkey Brain. It’s whiskey heartache fun with a surprisingly accessible polished aesthetic that doesn’t undermine its grime. Get in the loop!
