We are very excited to deliver an advance premiere of Wet Cement from Smashed Glass, the debut EP from the new project of Kennedy Pawluk.

Calgary’s SHY FRiEND have been gathering steam in Alberta from their over-the-top gigs that feature wild visuals, goofball bits, and raucous energy that is equal parts cathartic and entertaining. Alt-rock with power-pop and indie-twee make the new EP, SNAGGLETOOTH, shine and today we are very excited to help share this Calgary secret gem with the rest of Canada.

We premiere Disaster Pony’s video for “Angle Boys Of The Cosmos” from their self-titled, JUNO nominated, 2024 album.

Shunk’s latest single “Party Girl” offers a summer track for those fleeting and evanescent encounters at the dance floor embodied through the titular Party Girl. You can stream it on Cups N Cakes a day before it’s wider release.

Noisy, raw, lo-fi, and deliberately messy, Still Depth’s collage of sound in Like Hell! leans into its makeshift spontaneity and rough edges to develop this anti-perfectionistic creative explosion.

We premiere the first single, called “Difference Vs. Change” from POP POP VERNAC’s upcoming EP, A Sense of Human.
