Song of the Day: Down – Trevor Black

trevor black Down

Today’s song is Down by Canadian rocker TREVOR BLACK. The track will be coming his first full length album…keep you posted on the release date.

The singer/songwriter mixes heavy punk with alternative overtones, possessing all the  ingredients of BLACK SABBATH and MONTROSE. Down made it to the hotspot today, as beyond the raging guitars (well executed by the man himself, I must say), there are serious lyrics of experiencing loss and  failure due to the lack of belief in others  – I guess that’s something  we can all relate to – have a listen.

If you’re digging this track, head over to his SoundCloud page where there’s a load of head-banging-let-it-all-out  tracks. Enjoy!

Lauren Mann

Today’s song is Like The Mist by Canadian folk band LAUREN MANN AND THE FAIRLY ODD FOLK. The single is coming from the deluxe edition of the album, Over Land and Sea, re-released in April on the band’s label, Wanderer Records.

Over Land and Sea was originally released in May of last year, offering 11 tracks of pure stunning folk that’s fit for relaxing in the evenings. The deluxe version features the unreleased B-side of the soothing/feel good A Traveller’s Anthem.

Like The Mist made it to the star song hot spot as it’s  just outstanding – there’s nothing left to say – so don’t leave this post until you sample this angelic/heart warming song.

If you’ve fallen in love with Like The Mist, then it’s well worth checking out the album right here – when you get there, have a blast at Love, I Lost – highly recommended!

Review: A Cacophony of Toots, Hoots, Cackles and Wails – Sound Glyphics

Sound Glyphics

Rick Wren (vocals/guitar), Rick Barbosa (drums), Sarah Pottier (keyboard/vocals) and Nathan Payne (bass) – aka experimental rock band SOUND GLYPHICS – are (without a shadow of a doubt) in a league of their own. Formed in 2008 (by the two Ricks) the Canadian boundary pushers clocked up a huge fan base on no time –and this is down to the electrifying layers of high energy rock and perhaps a hint electronica and jazz – and their latest EP A Cacophony of Toots, Hoots, Cackles and Wails displays pretty much all of that.

Released last month, The EP features the chaotic Disaster and the equally-chaotic Don’t Forget the Time, where you’re exposed to a roaring crash of the guitars, drums and keyboard coupled with the pleasantly-wailing vocals. Think of school kids testing out different musical instruments for the time first – but I tell you something it really hits the spot! White Rhino is slightly different; although it still possesses their off-beat and explosive stamp on rock, it’s somewhat a little more melodic and this is where the strong vocals are most welcomed.

If you really love experimental music, you better check these guys out! To find out more about SOUND GLYPHICS, pop over to their website. For now, have a blast at Don’t Forget the Time.

Star Song: Dark Poetry – Mrazms feat. The Sword

Mrazms

Here’s another song of the day for you…the track is called Dark Poetry by MRAZMS featuring female artist THE SWORD.

The Canadian rapper – whose real name is Jonathan Dohnahue – has been rapping since the age of 14. Now the twenty-something year old is more than ready to take his talents to the studio. What’s the result? Dark Poetry. This sinister but beat-swinging track deserves a moment of your time, as it is a testament that this hip-hop upstarter is a very worthy rapper. Go on, have a listen.

If you’re feeling Dark Poetry, head over to his Bandcamp page and check out his other tracks.
