“Heaven's Gate” by Radar Peak

Take two parts PUP and one part Modern Superstitions, and you get Radar Peak. The “not-so-new” project from Nestor Chumak, Zack Mykula, and Matt Aldred just recently announced their debut album, even though the band ostensibly formed nearly 20 years ago.

The first single to show off the band is “Heaven's Gate”, which Mykula calls “the first song we worked on where it felt like we’d figured out what Radar Peak is. The three of us taking a thread of a song and spinning it into 3 minutes of melody and guitars and pounding drums and harmonies and a twin guitar solo for good measure. It felt good to be locked away together with our instruments, bridging the distance of thousands of miles, hundreds of gigs, a couple missed birthdays and life passing you by. This is us figuring it out together and coming out the other side in one piece.”

Have a listen below, and keep an ear out for more this year, when the self-titled album drops October 20th!

“Not The Name You Say” by Hannah Georgas

Hannah Georgas’s new album I’d Be Lying If I Said I Didn’t Care is finally out in the world!
The latest track “Not The Name You Say” was released recently as well just ahead of the record dropping.
It’s a beautiful album that she took the reigns on and produced herself using analogue equipment. (Listen to the whole album by clicking here.)
She’s heading out on tour through the states with Broken Social Scene, and then kicking off her own tour, ending with a show in Vancouver at the Hollywood Theatre on December 7th, and I cannot wait to hear the new music live!
