“Chicago” by Japandroids

OH HELL YES!!!

New Japandroids?! Since when?! Oh, final album? There goes my heart.

That announcement came with the first single “Chicago” from what the final album will be (Fate & Alcohol) which is to be released October 18th!

It’s such a distinct Japandroids sound, but also a full other anthem to sing along to.

I’m going to embrace this whole situation and hold on to every new song they put out.
LET’S GO!

“Marrying Me” by KINLEY

I don’t know that I’ve heard a KINLEY song that hasn’t immediately become stuck in my head, and her new single “Marrying Me” is no exception.

The indie-pop jam is about expectations vs reality, with KINLEY explaining, “Where I live I hear church bells everyday and it got me thinking about marriage and all the weddings I have played for and all the people I know who are married and all the weddings that I’ve played for and observed a lot of them didn’t work out. It also made me think about myself and how I grew up thinking that of course I would get married and how beautiful it would be but I realized I was only imagining the romance and the fabulous white dress and being surrounded by friends and family. I never imagined the reality of marriage past the glamour. That’s when I came up with the chorus of the song. My reality hasn’t included marriage and it may or may not be in the cards but it is no longer an expectation because my reality is a life filled with love and rich experience.”

The new song was produced by Juno winner Corey LeRue, and you can check it out below!

“Washed” by Grizzly Coast

Grizzly Coast wants to know what the hell am I waiting for? with her new single “Washed”.

The tune is the latest from her upcoming album, and features Alannah Kavanagh’s usual dreamy guitars combined with thought provoking lyrics, described as a “powerful rallying cry against indifference and stagnancy, urging listeners to take control of their lives and reject passivity.” The track was born from a jam session between Alannah and her husband Kyle, and “captures the essence of embracing action. The song's message is a reminder to confront apathy and take control of your life.”

Have a listen below, and keep an ear out for the upcoming album, Staying Power, due in the fall!
