Songs of the Week: June 28 - July 04, 2021
“Roman Candle Eyes” by Shred Kelly
It’s been one year since the release of Like A Rising Sun, the latest album from Fernie’s Shred Kelly, but they just released a (surreal) video for the banger “Roman Candle Eyes”. The new video comes as they head out on tour (holy crap, live music?!) hitting small towns in BC for what they’re calling the Tiny Concert Tour.
Check out the video below, and if you live somewhere between Kelowna and Calgary, you may get a chance to see them live!

“When It Hurts” by Kandle
Not only is Set The Fire one of my favourite albums so far this year, but Kandle is really batting a thousand when it comes to videos from the album. Last week she released yet another video, this time for latest single “When It Hurts”. Directed by her frequent collaborator, Brandon William Fletcher, the video is described as “a timeless, Lynchian portrayal of a love gone wrong where both parties are stuck in a time loop of paralysis – afraid to leave due to the fear of the unknown.”

“Words Left Unsaid” by Johnny 99
John Sponarski, aka Johnny 99, just released his first single off his forthcoming debut record last week. “Words Left Unsaid” comes with a trippy little video, and an awesome guitar solo in the middle.
Funny enough Kirk and I ran into John this past weekend in a park - hopefully the next time will be during an album release! Check out the single below.”

“Meantime” by Del Barber
Looks like I get the country songs this week!
Del Barber finally released the first single off his upcoming album Stray Dogs - which is out on August 20th!
Stray Dogs is a collection of unfinished songs Del had that he reworked during the pandemic and put them all together…hence the album name.
”Meantime” is a slow and dreamy, and if it’s an indication of the rest of the album, I can’t wait to sit on the beach in the sunshine and listen.
