Live shows are the heartbeat of the Canadian music scene, and over here at Cups N Cakes, we’re always a little bit sad that we don’t get to do as much coverage of live events as we’d like to. We’ve decided to change that: for the first time, we’re including a “Best Live Show” category in our year-end coverage. We asked our volunteers to pick their top 1-3 live shows of the year, and tell us what made it great.

Our Best of 2025 coverage continues today with a look at our favourite EPs released this year. The team ended up picking 24 different EPs from coast to coast that feature a wide-range sounds and styles. Check em out!
