Formed in Toronto and now with one foot in NYC, indie rock power trio ON presents their new single 'Make Me', a song of frustration and wanting to recapture that euphoria. This is a cry for what once was... and then resolution and a peaceful acceptance of what is. The trio carries on the legacy of the band from which they were formed - 90's Sire Records artist ACID TEST. Led by Lucy Di Santo (bass, vocals) with drummer Dan Cornelius on drums and guitarist Steve Fall, its members have also been in other popular Toronto bands Danko Jones and Deliuss. Dishing out infectious guitar riffs with a dash of groove, their adrenaline-laden music is invigorating, the band paying homage to their post-punk, grunge, old-school funk and 90s college rock roots.

A few weeks away from the release of their 4th studio album, MisterWives are marking their growth in the industry with leaps and bounds of changes for their sound. Ultraviolet is a melody that encapsulates the new age that social media created for the world going forward, an ‘information tidal wave’ as lead singer, Mandy Lee, croons at the start of Ultraviolet. Along with the release of the single, the music video that partners the song shows Mandy in a field on a mountain with arrows jutting out of her back. Possibly the arrows are a metaphor for the eyes that come with social media and how easily loving eyes of fans can turn into daggers with a flip of the metaphorical switch.

Beginning in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1991 and moving to Toronto later on, Sloan are best known for their storytelling, tight harmonies, and infectious hooks. As each member sings their own songs and trades their instruments throughout the night, there’s always something different for fans and new listeners to latch onto.
