Does anyone know Royal Canoe? They're a relatively new band from Winnipeg that's been touring a ton the last couple years. They released they're first full length "Today We're Believers" last year and they're going to be doing a North American tour with Bombay bicycle Club this spring. Hard to describe their sound but its a lot of fun. Bathtubs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr3zb_fvGjs

I've got Basia Bulat in March. Check her out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIhbxOlUIqc Also going to see Shearwater in Toronto at the end of March. I'm pretty excited for their new album. Fellow Travelers was good but I want some original material. Then its James Vincent McMorrow in April, and Bombay Bicycle Club with Royal Canoe in May, so all in all not a bad concert lineup.

I went to a little local show last week featuring Emilie Mover and Megan Bonnell, and I really liked Megan Bonnell. She just released her first album Hunt and Chase. The title track has been stuck in my head since the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEdVLf6OkIY

I've posted them in this thread before but Royal Canoe just released a new video for their song 'Button Fumbla' and a really good friend of mine is in it (one of the backup singers). Plus they're touring North America with Bombay Bicycle Club this spring so everyone should check them out. It's a live video so it gives a little preview (they're really good live) http://www.popmatters.com/post/180868-royal-canoe-button-fumbla-live-video-premiere/ Also A Tribe Called Red play a really cool mix of electronic and traditional pow wow music. Their new album Nation II Nation is amazing. Somebody stitched one of their songs together with some footage from the Idle No More protests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHiE8Zc7er8 They also just released their first video for 'Sisters'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbrvwaVXJ48 One more for good measure. My favorite song off Nation II Nation: Different Heroes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNPohk48XbE Duck Rodgers fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Apr 16, 2014 |

Lblitzer posted:This is one of my favorite rock bands in the last few years and I may just have to make a 4 hour trip to go see them. I don't quite like their new album as much as Attack on Memory but it is still a great one that will probably grow on me like the last one did. I wasn't overly enthused with the first single put out from the new album, but I've been listening to the album pretty much on repeat the last few days. I think I like it more than Attack On Memory, but I probably should let it sink in for awhile before I say anything I regret. Are their earlier albums worth checking out?

Khorne Flakes posted:This is the way I and a few friends felt after seeing her live. She sounds amazing on an album, but it doesn't seem to transfer over to a live performance very well. Her choreography is neat too, but it feels forced to me, like it isn't really her. Shearwater toured with her, and covered Cheerleader on Fellow Travelers. Jonathan Meiburg had this to say about her performances: Jonathan Meiburg posted:I admire that song, but her approach to it—at least on the tour we did with her—was very mechanical. Everything was very sequenced and there were a lot of triggered elements in the set. It was amazingly consistent night after night. The way that she moves on stage is almost programmed. The feeling you have with her music—and I think it's intentional—is a robot that is on the verge of malfunctioning, which works really beautifully with what she's doing. I thought it would be fun to go completely the opposite direction with that song and imagine it was recorded by Neil Young during the Tonight's the Night era. So it would be a completely sloppy rock version of that song.

homewrecker posted:New Rural Alberta Advantage track called "Terrified". Release date for the new album is set for September 30th. I'm a big fan of RAA and dig this track, but it occurs to me that they would be a much less interesting band if their drummer wasn't so amazingly good. Also a new We Were Promised Jetpacks song from their upcoming third album. I really like their first album, but never really got into the second. Not sure if the comparisons of the new album to Cold Play and U2 in this article are legit or just because they're from the same area of the world. http://music-mix.ew.com/2014/07/08/we-were-promised-jetpacks-find-safety-in-numbers/ Duck Rodgers fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jul 8, 2014 |

Friend of mine introduced me to Strand of Oaks. His latest album is pretty darn good rock. Shut In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2Kmch5w0WA. He also has a song about Jason Molina. It gets pretty heavy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exSbJDbzsak

Hey Rosetta! is releasing their new album Second Sight at the end of October. The last two albums were both amazing. The new single Kintsukuroi, which means 'to repair with gold' in Japanese, is good so I have high hopes. http://youtu.be/S23-lI4brnQ It's also kind of funny because another popular Canadian indie rock band, the Rural Alberta Advantage, just released their third album and its called Mended With Gold. A coincidence or Canadian music conspiracy?

Another Canadian band (although they're originally from main) The Barr Brothers is releasing an album next week. It can be streamed on the CBC website for the weekend, although you probably have to be Canadian. http://music.cbc.ca/#/blogs/2014/9/First-Play-the-Barr-Brothers-Sleeping-Operator It's pretty quiet folk but gets nice and bluesy sometimes. Been described as Americana.

Captain Hotbutt posted:Last night I saw We Were Promised Jetpacks live and they blew me away/rocked my socks off/were pretty amazing. They released a new album ("Unravelling") last week and it was my first taste of the new stuff. It's darker and a little bit more ambitious than their past two albums, and you could tell during the live show. Stuff like the first single "I Keep It Composed" and "Night Terror" were a lot less shouty and anthemic than older songs, and were highlights of the show for me. I'm bummed that their Canadian tour consisted only of Montreal and Toronto. Surely they could have squeezed in a stop at the nation's capital?! I'm really liking the new album though, it's a lot better than what the first single led me to believe. I have a good prairie music weekend coming up though with Regina's Rah Rah on Friday and Winnipeg's Royal Canoe on Saturday. Should make up for not getting Jetpacks.

guppiehaus posted:Twin Peaks owns and they've released a new album called Wild Onion. If you're into The Orwells, Mac DeMarco, Bass Drum of Death, or Japandroids I'd definitely recommend checking this band out. I found out about them through their re-release of their debut, which is also a fantastic beach/garage rock piece. They've toured with The Orwells before and played at FYF this past summer where they were fantastic. The band's made up of a bunch of college aged kids from Chicago, IL that decided to stay together as a band and tour instead of splitting up and going to school. They've been slowly garnering more and more attention and I'm hoping that this new album will really get them some much deserved airtime. Really diggin Twin Peaks. Thanks for sharing.

Shearwater recently announced their new album Jetplane and Oxbow. I've been looking forward to this. It's been a while since Animal Joy came out in 2012. Meiburg has said that this will be a louder album, and the first single bears that out. http://pitchfork.com/news/61699-shearwater-announce-new-album-jet-plane-and-oxbow-share-quiet-americans/

John K. Samson has a new album out. It's pretty much what you would expect, and it contains more Virtute songs and a kind of follow up to 'When I write my master's thesis'. http://www.cbcmusic.ca/posts/12845/first-play-john-k-samson-winter-wheat-track-guide Other Winnipeg group Royal Canoe also has a new album out. Seems like they're using even more loops and layers in their songs. They're on tour now and just got their trailer stolen with all the gear in it. Hopefully they can get it back and keep the tour going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmXfUH7XG5w
