June is going to be a big month for music. Not only does it start with a bang at Bonnaroo, but we've got a whole gaggle of amazing albums to look forward to. We've singled out the five albums we're anticipating most. Listen to a track from each, below. 1. Japandroids, Celebration Rock (6/5) Few things can compare to the unbridled energy (read: distortion) of this power-duo.

Hi friends from across the pond! Summer is here! Gone are the days of igloos and snow shoes (kidding). With summer comes a slew of new summer releases! Everyone is constantly on the hunt for their one official 'Summer Song'! I asked some friends what Canadian bands they are most excited about and compiled this list (mixed with my personal picks of course)! Here goes... One of my new favourite obsessions hails from the east coast (if you've been reading my past letters you'll know this is no surprise). The Olympic Symphonium just released a new collection of ...

Indie Babe of the Week We absolutely loved Japandroids’ recent single  ”The House That Heaven Built” (like most people out there), but I would never of imagined I would see a cover of it, and actually enjoy the hell out of it. L.A. based artist Anabot , strips down the punk-pop anthem into a beautiful, piano-tinged stunner. She uses loop to help her achieve the song’s undeniably delicious melody. Synths try to make their appearance note-worthy, but our complete attention is tuned into this pretty and talented Anabot. You can stream Anabot’s upcoming self-titled EP below. It’s ...

Luke Morgan Britton finds Japandroids at CAMP basement with a set half-full of unreleased numbers and wonders, can they still match the raw live expectancy all have come to see?

On May 29th Vancouver's Japandroids will return with Celebration Rock , their highly-anticipated sophomore full length. The duo won't disappoint existing fans as their relentless guitar squeal and fuzz are still present, as is their boundless energy.  New fans should be flocking to Japandroids' side as well.  By taking more care in fleshing out song structures, these tracks are made far more accessible to folks who may have been daunted by the sometimes impenetrable fortress of sound of the past. The album kicks off with the boisterous "The Night of Wine and Roses", a cut that comes dangerously close ...

Scaling back the noise, but keeping the intensity, Anabot’s cover of The Japandroids recent release The House That Heaven Built is a treat. Managing to retain the essence and heart of the song and keeping the rebel-yell passion in place, though restrained deliciously behind the girl group background vocals, it makes the song’s chorus, “And if [...]

2009: Outdoor Miners - "Twelve Hundred Dollars" by Devin Friesen on 05-22-2012 “Everybody, pay your rent.” Maybe it translates more subjectively in text, but the preceding statement takes on a sort of reassurance as the hook of “Twelve Hundred Dollars.” Vaguely ennui’d in delivery, it’s a small part of a song that should be a year-round anthem for the functioning slacker archetype, as if to say: yeah, stocking shelves is a bore, but it pays the rent – besides, we’ll all get to hang out soon, right? The production on the first Outdoor Miners single is a bit murky ...
