Shane Ghostkeeper – “V Chill”
Country: Canada
Genre: Americana
Words From PR: Fans of independent Canadian music will likely recognize the name Shane Ghostkeeper from his namesake project GHOSTKEEPER, a band that has been responsible for some of the more thrilling music to emerge from Alberta during the last 15 years. But while his parent band trades in a highly unique, left-of-centre approach to indie rock, this new project is a deeply reverential tribute to the music he absorbed while growing up in the Northern Alberta Métis communities of Paddle Prairie, High Level, and Rocky Lane. The vocal melodies on “V Chill” were inspired by the need to soothe and entertain Shane’s teething baby boy. After hours of bouncing him around the house, lyrics started to form as fatherly advice and blessings. “‘V Chill’ was coined by my producer and big brother, Lorrie Matheson,” says Shane. “An appropriate play on my son’s name, Vittal Chillawee Ghostkeeper.”

LLO LLO – “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?”
Country: US
Genre: Indie Rock
Words From PR: “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They” is LLO LLO’s attempt to fuse the post-punk/pop sound of The Psychedelic Furs and Depeche Mode with britpop influences from the 90’s such as Oasis and The Stone Roses. The themes include indulging in a relationship you know is toxic simply because in the moment it feels best.

Loser Company – “Swallow You”
Country: US
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: What if Cobain joined Weezer? Swallow You is a fun, catchy, edgy, summery punk bop with a Motown tinge. Multiple hooks keep you engaged with sardonic, tongue-in-cheek, apathetic references to modern politics.

Dead Professional – “At Sea”
Country: US
Genre: Garage Rock
Words From the Artist: “After a long break from music (spinal surgery, covid, life etc), I’ve been easing back into the water with a couple under-the-radar downtempo singles. But this lil’ nugget is a return to my trademark ultra-straight-forward-rock approach. It’s got my two favorite things: bittersweet harmonies and bombastic instrumentation.”

The Tuesday Nighters – “Eddie”
Country: Canada
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From PR: The Tuesday Nighters are a Canadian rock n’ roll band with a spirit found on the dance floors of downtown Toronto, and a soul in the small towns and countryside of Northern Ontario. The song “Eddie” was inspired by the story of Private Eddie Namaypoke, an Indigenous soldier and residential school runaway who was killed in WWII and is buried in the Rome War Cemetery. The band wanted to honour him with this haunting retelling of Eddie’s very sad story through the power of music. Songwriter Taylor Prestidge visited his grave there and later met his surviving family at Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung (The Manitou Mounds) in Northwestern Ontario (near Kenora). To our knowledge, this is the only time Eddie has been visited in that cemetery. This story was chronicled by Taylor in an article published in Maclean’s Remembrance Day Issue in 2016.

Matt Zaddy – “What Comes Around”
Country: Canada
Genre: Singer-songwriter
Words From PR: The song was inspired by the struggle to do what you love. When we’re busy, we don’t always think about the difficulties and hard times we all face in life. Despite how hard it is, all we can do is try to be positive, reflect, and remember to take it one day at a time; to fight another day to do what we love. This song is like a conversation that Zaddy is having in the mirror, or a conversation with his wife. In essence, “What Comes Around” blends the uncertainty that comes with the daily grind with the hope you need to move forward, in a way that is motivating.

Novelistme – “BlurSong”
Country: UK
Genre: Alt Rock
Words From the Artist: Influenced by Graham Coxon’s guitar sound on their eponymous 1997 album more than Blur songs in general (Death of a Party in particular), BlurSong is an armchair philosophy rant at inept leaders, conspiracy theories, big tech, our contemporary moment and sleepwalking to oblivion. Musically it’s heavy guitars and snarling stabs of noise that are lifted by a wonderful jingle jangle, bordering shoegaze, chorus. The overall effect is hopefully one of thoughtful intensity.
