Miracle Fortress

MIRACLE FORTRESS is the brainchild of Graham Van Pelt, a Montreal-based multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who blends strange studio-accidents with diabolically catchy hooks and makes 21st century pop songs. As a live incarnation Miracle Fortress is also comprised of Nathan Ward, Adam Waito, and Jessie Stein, and tends to take things into noisier percussive territory. The kids, they like.

Patrick Watson

Patrick Watson is a Montreal-based art-rock quartet that carries the name of its chief songwriter and front-man. Mishka Stein (bass), Robbie Kuster (drums), and Simon Angell (guitar) fill out the band, crafting dreamy soundscapes with the execution of jazz musicians, seamlessly blending organic and electronic elements into rocking cacophony and pared-down ballads alike, with Watson’s haunting voice always at the core.

Plants and Animals

Like all enduring flora and fauna, Montreal trio Plants and Animals know that evolution is a simultaneously delicate and rough endeavor. The band is comprised of Warren C. Spicer, the Woodman (two card-playing Halifax-natives), and Nicolas Basque, a strange local francophone that likes horses. As Plants and Animals they are a wild and rarely tamed beast. Some call it post-classic-rock. Some call it folk-prog. Those who know better don’t say anything at all.

Brighton, England's reigning party-jam royalty.

Human Highway

Human Highway is the new collaboration from two of Canada’s most-loved troubadours: Jim Guthrie and Nick Thorburn. Both artists have been long-time fixtures of Canadian pop music. Human Highway sees them exploring old-time vocal harmonies and the deceptively catchy songwriting that has garnered both artists so many passionate fans over the years. “I think this album works because Nick and I both share a love for oldies” Guthrie says—citing the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and the Kinks as a few touchstones for the Human Highway sound—“It’s a new genre called ‘Golden Moldy Indie Oldies’. It’s AM radio rock for the babies of the future past.”
