License 2 Crash, is Lynx Deans 3nd single - end of summer banger.

It's a potential steamy beach vibe love affair.

Driving, catchy, pulsing and sexy.

Previously, spearheading the band Random Order, Lynx often wrote songs about risque relationships gone sour. While progressing in the love department, they know full well that this one is destined to end with a big ole crash. But still, an interest has been piqued and they'll give themselves the license to do just that.

All with tongue firmly planted in cheek this fun in the sun song will bring a smile to your face as you can relate, while going down memory lane recounting those tempestuous, heated, turbulent times in your life.

Lynx is a Toronto based Nova Scotian ART POP musician who works with Sony signed, Platinum award winning producer – Milan's - Giampaolo Pasquile. The result of this joint effort is hot summer vibes wrapped up with an edgy, rejuvenated, pop flavour.

Lynx was nominated “Best Musician” in Toronto's 2022 Village Awards.

“A joyous song about love that's bad for you? Yasss! The perfect “bad@$$ love jam!”

From an early age, a love of music and singing has always been a vital part of Louise Yard's life. She has performed classical music professionally since childhood in concerts, TV appearances, and ceremonies in Quebec and Eastern Canada.

Her ears were trained to Opera at home even before She studied privately and at McGill and Concordia Universities. She was fortunate to meet and study with the wonderful world-renowned Opera singer Huguette Tourangeau and her husband Barry Thompson who was the Managing Director of the Vancouver and Edmonton Opera, who taught her the golden rules of Bel Canto singing.

As she was learning this incredible Bel Canto technique she started to teach and found her niche – singing as well as teaching. She has been performing and teaching singers, actors and public speakers of all ages with this remarkable method for over twenty years. Her studio 'belcantovoicestrudio' is located in Montreal although she also offers vocal guidance through skype.

The five songs on 'Les Chemins de l'Amour' (Ways Of Love) EP were recorded with master accompanist pianist Pierre McLean at Oscar Peterson Hall in Montreal. Louise Yard's vocal performance is beautiful, sincere and elevating.

Classically trained, piano playing began around the age of 3. Larry learned to read notes before words. The Cello came much later at the ripe old age of 7. Musical influence began with his grandfather a classical conductor in New York, followed by (alphabetically) Bach, the Beatles, Chic Correa, Chopin, Billy Joel, Elton John, George Gershwin, Oscar Peterson, Rick Wakeman, just to name a few. Primarily a rock and roller in the late 70’s, doing sessions in the studio throughout the 80’s. Credits include keyboard, co-producing, arranging work on RCA, BMG, Columbia, and several independent labels in South Florida up to the early 90’s. Finally acquiring the resources and time to build a home studio, and the result was The Kitchen Table Collection.

Journeyman is solo artist Nick Constant - a founding member of the European dance group 'axisgallery', but now working on material that reflects his life and who he is. He began working on his first CD during his 2 year trip to South Africa and Oman. This journey is what lead to the creation of his new vision and the style of music that brought peace and joy to his life and others.
Journeyman's "Sands Of Time" from his debut Album "Echoes" truly reflects "the timeless nature and our own time which runs through the fingers like sand".

You can experience Journeyman's life's journey when you listen to his music. You become one with his music. The sounds are distinct and instinctual. The vocals are raw and of the people. The percussion is crisp and almost creates a frame around the entire CD. Let Journeyman take you along on his journey to distant and far off places.

Born and raised in Australia and married to Québec, he is the modern version of a medieval troubadour or minnesinger, those roaming musicians who composed music and poems denouncing the hypocrisy and praising the beauty of their times: Those wandering minstrels who travelled from place to place blending ideas and emotions into songs and melodies that enlightened and entertained the people who heard them.

Like them, J.D. Sage plays his own music, sings his own words, usually...

Like them, he knows about borders and has travelled far in his search for forms of truth on high mountains, windy beaches, awesome coastlines, angry seas and strange lands.

Fascinated by psycho-acoustics, strings and campanology (the study of bells), he has combined these interests with his love of music and the oceans to create soothing and evocative lyrics and sounds. He has played many great bells around the world: The Great bell at Mingun, Burma (Myannmar); the Great bell at Kamakura, Japan; the big Hemmony bell in the Old Church of Amsterdam, Netherlands; and the Great bell in Havana Cathedral, Cuba.

If you like Bob Dylan or are looking for French Language music or are into Folk give this one a listen.

09/12/2022

Central City are here to bring the fun, not to mention the funk, back into hip hop. The duo from Long Beach, California release their second album, Floss, on their very own Plush imprint. They are motivated by their desire to create the sort of music they love.

So what is it that Central City sounds like? Head-bobin, Hip Hop-Funk! This sophmore effort is a throwback to the block party ethos that made hip hop what it was. Central City are not dictated to by the fashions of the day and they do not just follow one musical path. Their influences range far and wide and, from the old-skool funk of Bootsy Collings and George Clinton right through to the lyrical mastery of Tupac and Kanye. These influences can be heard right across this album.

Central City are always learning, both from each other and from what they hear around them. They are constantly challenging themselves and each other. Producer Kneena and rapper SG are hard-workers. Kneena created his own record label, Plush Records, so that he could release the sounds he was cooking up, without having to compromise.

There is no compromise in the Central City sound. This album may be about partying and having fun, but there is a message in the music too. They tackle hardcore subjects in a fun and relevant way. The ethos is obviously working as Central City have been securing radio play across the states and collection a fair helping of praise from the press along the way.

If you like funky rhythms, intelligent rhymes and goood ol' fashioned party hip hop, then Central City is for you!

Bryan Gorsira has written songs for decades, and twelve of them from his recent and distant past comprise his latest effort, 'The Best Years'. The album ranges as greatly in style asit does in date-of-composition, including aspects of singer/songwriter sentimentality, backwoods zydeco, boogie woogie , and even a diversion into prog rock balladeering.

With a lyrical simplicity and sincerity reminiscent of Randy Travis Gorsia's mid-tempo tribute on the title track features sparse instrumentation accented nicely by violin and backing vocals. Among the various genres tapped into throughout the album, this track hints that Gorsira's later-in-life singer/songwriter explorations yield his best writing.

The Best years is an enjoyable listen, even with its significant style shifts and genre hops.

Slider is an offering from Bay Area pedal steel guitarist Bruce Kaphan - an exploration of new possibilities for a never-fully-exploited instrument!

Kaphan pioneered new territory for the pedal steel in the 90's as a member of alt-rock cult favorites American Music Club, where he quickly liberated the instrument from its Nashville stereotype. Slider is a more extensive rethinking of the pedal steel, with its silvery, liquid tone refracted through Kaphan's personal harmonic vocabulary, skillful arrangements and wide-ranging stylistic compass.

His pedal steel work with AMC also led to pedal steel sideman dates on recordings for REM, Jewel, The Black Crowes, Love and Rockets, Chris Isaak, Red House Painters, Jellyfish and others. Career highlights include playing with John Lee Ho**er on his Grammy-winning Chill Out. Bruce spent most of '97-'98 on the road playing with former Talking Heads front man David Byrne. Since then, he's focused on film scoring and sound design, producing albums for various Bay Area bands and artists, and doing his first solo album.

"Slider achieves something rare in popular music: a new face on an old favorite, a creative synthesis of ambient, pop, country, Indian, electronic music - and Bruce Kaphan. Like water under the desert, these pieces were always there. They just had to be tapped."

Norine Braun is a Vancouver based singer-songwriter who has been called "jazzed up, funk tinged pop." Her music defies conventional categorization. Built on a solid foundation of soul, Norine experiments with forms from ambient pop to jazz and rock. Braun herself is an interesting mixture of equal parts Sade, Blondie, Bjork, Patti Smith and Norah Jones. Smooth one minute and rocking out the next

Evolution of the Blood Star expands on her penchant for ambient soul pop, and shows this gifted songstres taking bold steps on her soulful journey into self-eploration. The jazz torch song, "Skylight", is evocative and inspirational, anchored by gentle classical piano and a melody as delicate as flower petals. The title track Evolution of the Blood Star truly inspires and intrigues with it's contagious hook and neo B-52's landscape.

Considering the drastic change of style from their initial incarnation as Split Lip, it remains a firm fact that any new Chamberlain release is met with high anticipation. This 28 track retrospective features material from the original five piece line-up and unveils the much awaited and rumoured songs from the time between the debut Chamberlain release ‘Fates Got A Driver’ and the last record from the band in it’s original form ‘The Moon My Saddle’.

This collection bridges the gap between those two records and provides important evidence of the band’s progression from their post-hardcore/emo roots to their latter day alternative country rock leanings.

The flood of excitement that you’re listening to a new Chamberlain song creeps up on you from a time when this band were at their peak and offering mind blowing examples of layered, driving and inspirational song writing. At last an essential document of Chamberlain history and a chance to understand such a great band’s progression.

Special BOGO!!

After Kill, is Lynx Dean's 2nd single, since jumping into the solo arena, ready for action! Who doesn't love a hot zombie/vampire love affair??

Previously, Lynx spearheaded the band Random Order, and often wrote about risque relationships gone sour. All with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

Still laced with humour, the After Kill protagonist, although intrigued, regrets the steamy affair. He doesn't quite understand why after killing the zombie several times, she continues to follow him around. It's a vampires worst nightmare, and the nightmare is just in time for Hallowe'en! One of Lynx' favourite celebrations.

Lynx is Toronto based Glace Bay, Nova Scotian born ART POP musician who works with Sony signed, Platinum award winning producer - Giampaolo Pasquile. The result of this joint effort is the steamy pumpin' pulp fiction remake of Random Order's - “The Morning After Kill.”

“Dark, sultry & sexy. Vocal licks to keep you transfixed. You'll want to be “after kill” prey after one listen!” Shelley Hamilton 2022 (East Coast Music Award Nominee, 2020 ANSMA Artist of The Year)

18/10/2022

After 20 years of successful recording and touring with his band Garry and the Moodswingers, bandleader Garry Segal set off on a solo career. Garry got back to basics with a guitar, his voice, harmonica, paper, pencil and the insights gained from many years on the road ...taking notes along the way.

Taking Notes is an eclectic mix of americana styles featuring Garrys sly and wry lyrics detailing his world of failed dreams, humor and hope. His soulful singing, acoustic guitar and harmonica are supported by the To Dye For Band, a collection of friends and great players Garry has worked with over the years. Featured on the CD is Jeff Pevar who recently worked with Phil Lesh, Crosby Stills and Nash, the late great Ray Charles, Marc Cohn and many more. Phil Rosenthal bluegrass master from the Seldom Scene was a neighbor of Garry's. They began playing & recording together over the past several years. The CD was recorded at Bar None Studio owned and operated by Collin Tilton who also lends his smoky sax to the mix and was the sax man on Van Morrisons Moondance album. Stacy Phillips brings his Grammy winning Dobro style to a cut on the CD . Garry's long-time friends that have been on the road and in the studio with his various projects are the backbone...John Morello-Drums, John & Bubs & Brown-pedal steel, Peter Blossom-guitar, Joan Schroeder-harmony vocal, Steve Roane-bass & cello, John Kelly- Bass and Jordan Greco-keys all made contributions to Garry's original songs lifting them to new heights.

Tevor D. - Music Critic - Jambands.com

Taking Notes bleeds Americana, with an intoxicating blend of uptempo blues and soulful bluegrass that would fit nicely in the juke box of any down n' out, PBR serving dive bar. The good ole' boy quality in Segal's sound is evocative of late Springsteen. But at times, his strong blues influence sends his vocals a little more along the lines of Van Morrisson circa Astral Weeks. As a personal fan of whistling, I was especially pleased to hear the whistle intro/exit for & I Keep Drinkin (probably the best candidate to be added into the aforementioned dive bar juke box). This nod to the drinkers is my favorite track on the album, and the combination of Segal's raw vocals, Steve Roane's heavy baseline, and Tilton's smooth sax, artistically portrays the melancholic world of well whiskey and a burdened heart. Segal's musicianship – especially the free-flowing harmonica work that would put a smile on the face of any Dylan fan.

Is it possible to make show tunes and standards even more gay? Brad Hampton does so with this collection. Hampton sings these "women's songs", pronouns intact, in a clear, emotional male tenor.
With songs that range from familiar Sondheim, Harburg and Lerner to lesser-known pieces by Jason Robert Brown and William Finn, Hampton uses his warm voice to draw in his audience. He knows how to characterize a song and give it a dramatic life of its own.

An eclectic mix of show-stopping songs, 'Shameless' cuts through the dross of musical theatre to deliver a humorously gender-bent, emotionally charged, and curiously nostalgic repertoire that tells the uplifting, tragic, and comic stories of q***r romance.

Show tune Queens everywhere.....this one is for you!

The album has a fresh, yet familiar sound and will take the listener to many places. Babe's warm but powerful voice is beautifully showcased with the stripped-down sounds on this album, which is a unique blend of roots, pop and country.

"This composition emerges as an offering- to the blossoming of love and the truth of humanity," states Nadimi. "Inspired by nature, longing, and divine love, each piece carries a unique expression of beauty, which can manifest as harmony within, and out in the universe."

Each piece has a different mood, story and imaginative atmosphere. "Suite for Peace" includes compositions with themes of nature, new age, world instruments synthesizer and ethereal sounds, as well as full orchestral passages.

From the most southern point in Canada, Leamington Ontario comes this 5 piece female fronted metalcore band. BLOODSHOTEYE went into the studio in early fall of 2003 to record their debut CD entitled Without Any Remorse. Featuring guest vocals on F.U.B.A.R and Bad Trip by one of the most charismatic front men in metal today D.Randall Blythe of Lamb of God.

BLOODSHOTEYE live show is a very aggressive, intense in your face experience that must be seen to be believe. Feeding off each others energy they create an explosion of sound on stage. BLOODSHOTEYE have created a unique "deathmetalcore" style from the lowest growl to the heaviest breakdown they use all elements of every genre of metal.

BLOODSHOTEYE have shared the stage with a number of bands including Strapping Young Lad, God Forbid, Skinless, The End, Misery Index, Cryptopsy, Diecast and an opening slot in Toronto on the MTV2s Headbangers Ball tour with Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and Unearth.

Arthurkill is a combination of Hard Rock and Alternative with a little Metal sprinkled on top! Spawned from the depths of Staten Island, New York, a place best known for the biggest garbage dump on the East Coast, and a pit stop between the bright lights of the big city and the Jersey Shore, Arthurkill has risen to become one of New York City's best kept little secrets.

The CD, 'Addiction', consists of ten songs that jump out at you and claw at your skin. The lyrics are in your face, the guitars are huge, and the sound is monstrous. Events and life experiences inspire their lyrics. Mixed into all of this are melodies that draw the listener in to each song. The choruses explode in your face with hooks that keep you singing. Just when you think you have heard their best song, they hit you with another.
