’s NEW album “Heal The Divide” is OUT NOW!

As the follow-up to his JUNO Award nominated EP, Heal the Divide shows an Morgan’s growth in sound, an ever-widening circle of collaborators, and a new confidence in his message.

”Heal the Divide came from a place of love and compassion. When we first got into the songwriting mode again, we were thinking about and discussing all the horrible things that have happened in our past but also today. Mi’kmaq Teachings tell us that we need to look out for one another, care for one another and pick each other up when we fall. It seems that we need to send a reminder again, so this is exactly what we kept in the back of our minds as we wrote and recorded this album.” - Morgan Toney

Welcome Thea May to the Ishkōdé Records Family ✨

Thea May is an Anishnawbe artist from Atikameksheng Anishnawbek. As a child, singing, dancing and performing was driven by impulse, an inner force of truth that found its way out. Now as an adult, May is a songwriter finding her purpose, or more accurately, understanding the purpose that found her.

Our co-founder ShoShona Kish says, “Ishkōdé Records is so excited to introduce the world to Thea May. Thea, like her, music is a force of nature, bursting at the seams with uncontainable energy and talent. She is the voice that rock and roll doesn’t know it needs, an earthquake of raw and unflinching emotion, truth and courage. She will shake the foundations and then just as easily rebuild them. The Ishkōdé Aunties couldn’t be more proud to be on this journey with her.”

We are thrilled to be embarking on this new chapter with Thea, starting with the announcement of her EP “Brought To You By Tragedy” out March 21st!

Her first single “F*ck You For Dying” is OUT NOW. This track is a cathartic anthem for anyone navigating an unfinished goodbye, normalizing grief and honouring the pain of loss.

Listen today on all streaming platforms at the 🔗 in bio and stayed tuned for all the incredible things we have planned with Thea May!

“I lived my life in this place, I’m just tryin’ to die here, One of these days”

Amanda Rheaume's newest single, One Of These Days, is OUT NOW!

This is the 3rd single off her NEW album, The Truth We Hold, out April 11th, available for pre order/pre save NOW at the 🔗 in bio.

One Of These Days, is a poignant, truth-telling song that brings to light the largely unknown story of the Métis families of Agawa Bay, Ontario. This powerful track honours their stories while confronting the colonial violence they endured at the hands of the Canadian government.

Inspired by a visit to Agawa Bay with friend and Métis historian Mitch Case in 2023 Amanda says, “I feel deeply moved to honour these Métis families by sharing this mostly unknown story and tell the truth about what happened… I listened to an interview with Dolores Pinder (granddaughter of Dave Bussineau) and the main hook of this song was inspired by something she directly said - “I’ve lived my life for this place, I’m just trying to die here, one of these days” - Dolores (granddaughter of Dave Bussineaeu)”
