Songs of the Week: April 14 - 20, 2025
“Crazy Streets” by Ewan Currie
These are the vibes I needed going into this week!
Frontman for The Sheepdogs, Ewan Currie has announced a solo venture and an upcoming album, Strange Vacation, and has put out the first track “Crazy Streets”.
The mellow vibes of both the track and the visualizer below hit exactly right for me this morning. Currie say the song “came from that feeling of being imposed upon by the city I was living in. Life just felt chaotic. You come home expecting to relax and find some solitude, but for me, that wasn’t achievable. It’s sort of a shout-out to big city living.”

“Cat Guy” by Propagandhi
Propagandhi is back with “Cat Guy”, the second single to their upcoming album At Peace.
The sardonic anthem proves the band is an sharp as ever, with frontman Chris Hannah explaining “From my songwriting perspective, the two things I was thinking of was capturing a little bit of Judas Priest’s Firepower LP as if SNFU’s Chi-Pig was writing the lyrics.”
At Peace is out May 2nd, and check out the feline friendly lyric video for “Cat Guy” below!

“Take It To The Limit” (Eagles Cover)
by Leif Vollebekk and Angie McMahon
I love a good cover song, and especially so when it is a completely reimagined version of the original, and that is exactly what’s going on with this cover of The Eagles song “Take It To The Limit”.
Leif Vollebekk spontaneously recorded the song with Australian singer-songwriter and musician Angie McMahon during his last trip to Oz and I’m glad they did because it’s beautiful.

“A.ajax” by Peach Pact
Last week, Toronto’s Peach Pact released the lead single off their upcoming debut album, Die Hydrated.
“A.ajax” is a punk banger that confronts “society's fixation on status and identity”.
The song also comes with a rad DIY stop-motion video directed by Peach Pact and animated by claymation artist Adrian Venti! You can watch below, and mark June 13 for the release of Die Hydrated.
