“Forever Fool” by The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer

It’s been almost four years since we got the album Apocalipstick from Vancouver’s The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer. So what comes next? Obviously, it’s the Post-Apocalipstick.
The new album is “a collection of songs which takes disparate elements from our 2017 record, puts them in a blender, and spits out completely new interpretations.” and the first taste we’re getting it a dark and moody, electronic spin on the song “Forever Fool”.
Have a listen below, and compare it to the original “Forever Fool” right here.

“No Rules” by Autogramm

You know your band has a heck of a pedigree when you have three members whose credits include Destroyer, Black Mountain, Lightning Dust, Black Halos, Spitfires, and Blood Meridian (among others!).
Autogramm returned last week with the title track to their upcoming sophomore album, No Rules, due out April 16. With incredible energy and a sing-a-long chorus, the song also features a video that is a shot-for-shot remake of Billy Joel’s “Sometimes A Fantasy.”

“Home” by Russell Louder

Two years in the making, PEI’s Russel Louder released their brand new album, Humor, last week. The lead track — and latest single — “Home” features Russell’s incredible voice soaring over the synthy beats of a song that they describe as “…the introduction. It is the wandering protagonist who sets the tone for the entire album. The idea of finding “home” is now a question, not an answer. Elements of preparation, the romanticizing of arrival, deep, deep uncertainty, pain, lack of belonging – yet bursting with hope.”

“Sugar Pill” by METZ

Sometimes Monday’s call for something loud.

Today “Sugar Pill” by Metz is doing it for me. Last month they released this video for the song, which appears on their 2020 album Atlas Vending, which I’ve been listening to a lot lately. Crank up your speakers and hit play.

“Young Libertine” by Left Field Messiah

It’s going to be a while still until the full debut album by Left Field Messiah is released (July 23rd), but the singles and music videos keep coming. If you missed the announcement, this latest super group contains Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat), Jeremy Ruzumna (Fitz & The Tantrums), and Erik Janson (formerly Wildling).
The “Young Libertine” video, like the ones for “Fuzz Machine” and “A.M. Moonlight” were done by Johnny Jansen and are fun, psychedelic romps.
