“Lost Without You” by Shred Kelly

Fernie’s own Shred Kelly have released their new album Blurry Vision this week, and shared the single “Lost Without You” at the same time.

I was lucky enough to pop in during their recording process to take some photos of the band doing their thing, so I’m super stoked for this record.
We also go to catch them performing in Vancouver last week with Elliott BROOD, and it was a hell of a show.

The band is heading to Germany next - but you can listen to the new release by clicking here.

“almost beautiful” by suffer fools

Vancouver Island’s suffer fools is “a conceptual project centered on d. debased: former child star, current trainwreck, future pop messiah”, and they just released the first single from their sophomore album.

“almost beautiful” is a dreamy, hypnotic song that’s juxtaposed with dark lyrics; the catchiest song you’ll hear in a while about being fine while “watching a dream die”.

the album will be out early next year, but have a listen to the new tune below!

“No Help Coming” by The Fugitives

Another new album came out this week, and this one was from Vancouver’s The Fugitives.
No Help Coming is full of songs inspired by the climate crisis, and the band went about it in an interesting way.
Songwriter Brendan McLeod, says: “Leading up to the recording, we asked environmental experts what was missing from the conversation, and they all said the same thing: no more sad songs. We know the world’s messed up. What’s missing are more invitations to get real about making changes. And to do that, we have to get less precious about the subject.” McLeod's creative partner Adrian Glynn adds, “It’s an album about resolve. It’s upbeat because there’s a lot of resolve to be found in joy. And while humans have a lot of bad things going for us, we can be pretty great at the joy part. So, let’s use it.”

It’s a super intriguing album, and hopefully you caught the band at their album release show last week, as they’re heading out on the road to support the new project.
