My favourite local Vancouver band Dear Rouge have finally released their first studio album! These guys have put out a number of singles in the last couple years since winning a huge local contest called the Peak Performance Project (https://www.thepeak.fm), and this album is so good and top notch. They also put on a killer live show and if they're ever near you I recommend it! https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/black-to-gold/id963397175

So there is this amazing francophone indie artist in Québec called Cœur de Pirate and she recently released a new single which is great, and it's a big deal because she released an english version too which is quite rare! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=333OLz3NiK8 Original french version which I prefer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urpjInmrnrM I'm also really into these new local band (Vancouver) singles too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfjtpcSg5uc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbw1HzAWWQg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DubPeobDd1w ok that's it for tonight!

jiffypop45 posted:A friend of mine is a French major and said that for one of her classes they had to translate a french song. A lot of people did Coeur de pirate. I really like this song, as it's much more upbeat and poppy than her older stuff. New album out in August would love it if it was more of the same. That's how I found out about Cœur de pirate in the first place too! It was French 12 though, not a university major. She's completely awesome, I love all her songs, I highly recommend people check them out even if they don't understand french! I actually think the french lyrics bring more meaning to the song, when translated literally too.

However, she does need to realize that these are thoughts most men are having anyway and aren't vocal about them. We are programmed to, come on. ...are you excusing a sexist as gently caress "review" because they're "thoughts that most men are having anyways" because holy poo poo

Slandible posted:This weekend I'm seeing Dear Rouge with Rah Rah in a small venue and I'm pretty pumped, but as much as I enjoy DR's stuff, I am only noticing an EP. I recall some others saying they were planning on seeing them as well, umm, what other material do they play? Dear Rouge is one of my favourite bands, they have a full album now: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/black-to-gold/id963397175 I'm seeing that same show you are in Vancouver on the 20th, so loving stoked.

I was talking to DR on Twitter and suggesting nearby shows, I might try driving out to the one in London Canada tonight. DR is absolutely incredible and probably my favourite band, do it.

Slandible posted:Well after everything trying to gently caress me over from getting to their show today, I made it, and it was totally worth it. Both Dear Rogue and Rah Rah were great and Danielle of DR even got me in for free and gave me a poster for making the drive. Thanks for convincing me to go, probably wouldn't have otherwise. Awesome dude, they're pretty awesome eh. I can't wait to see them again on the 20th in Vancouver.

It doesn't belong in the pop thread either alongside things like loving Bieber. You're really upset about this for some reason.

Oh my god what a good show. The Tourist Company is an amazing little Vancouver band that I highly recommend, Rah Rah was utterly fantastic, but man Dear Rouge is something else. Danielle is so awesome, she works the crowd so well and is such a incredible performer. loving fantastic show. Also they played October Second which Drew shines in, such a good album and band and show. Tomorrow night I'm seeing Coleman Hell opening for Robert Delong, pretty drat good weekend.

This genre is so region-specific for the most part that it's hard to make all-encompassing lists, I prefer to choose my own favourite albums of 2015: Dear Rouge - Black to Gold Alabama Shakes - Sound & Colour CHVURCHES - Every Open Eye Zerbin - Darling Whitehorse - Leave No Bridge Unburned The Sheepdogs - Future Nostalgia Seriously, listen to The Sheepdogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uJ1tfEk2uU
