Songs of the Week: October 10 - 16, 2022
“PROVE IT!” by Mauvey
Mauvey has announced his brand new EP last week, with the release of his latest single, “PROVE IT!”
Written as a missive to his younger self, Mauvey says: “I wanted to write the answer to a question I've been asked repeatedly since about the second month of the pandemic. The question was, 'If you were face to face with your younger self, how would the conversation go?' It took a while, but ‘PROVE IT!’ is my answer.”
The incredibly catchy alt-pop tune is the latest single off his upcoming EP entitled BEFORE THE ALBUM: A love letter to the moons of Mars., which is out on November 4th

“Him” by TFD (TOTAL FUCKING DARKNESS)
Seems fitting to post this the day after Pet Shop Boys & New Order played in Vancouver. They’re the two bands referenced as influences in the bio of TFD (or TOTAL FUCKING DARKNESS), and I’m sure at least one half of the duo was in attendance.
TFD is the pairing of long-time friends and collaborators Torquil Campbell (Stars) and Stephen Ramsay (Young Galaxy), and their latest single is a dancey, synth-laden track called “Him”.
Check it out below and let the 80s beats wash over you.

“TRENDSETTER” by Snotty Nose Rez Kids ft DillanPonders
SNRK are back with another track, and their second collaboration with DillanPonders. “TRENDSETTER” is a new song on their self-proclaimed “campaign of confidence” post pandemic.
The upbeat track goes well with the duo’s continuing success, including another (their 3rd) Polaris short list noms, and 3 more Western Canadian Music Awards this year as well.
