Wolf Willow, Starpainter, Dead Quiet, and Tough Age
Wolf Willow - Marv and Stoneface Sing
Regina’s Wolf Willow, a favourite of Cups N Cakes and a particular favourite of mine, released a two song EP on June 3. Their countrypolitan music continues to feel like I am back in the days of my family living, eating, and breathing country Music - both country and western. Wolf Willow is as true and real as it gets!
Starpainter - Rattlesnake Dream
Like me, are you hearing the name Starpainter for the first time? They exemplify just how much talent lies in Canada which is yet to be unearthed by you and I. Rattlesnake Dream is an enjoyable, groove driven LP with wall painted lyrics that any one of us can relate to. “Read the braille poetry on my face”
Dead Quiet - IV
This week’s Quick Picks list needed some ass kicking, head banging, and fist pumping rock and DAMN roll! Dead Quiet was just the band up for the task with their new LP IV. Spin this album to get your weekend juiced and ready to take on whatever the HELL COMES YOUR WAY!
Tough Age - Getting Close
Making sure we get a full and healthy diet of Canadian music from all the genres is Tough Age with their new Indie Rock LP, Getting Close. I’d have to describe Getting Close as having hypnotic rhythms, melodies that flow like fluffy clouds, and beats that just keep you moving forward!
