BIO

Toronto-based GRAMERCY RIFFS have been making waves nationally since relocating from their hom
etown of St. Their critically acclaimed debut album "IT'S HEARTBREAK" found itself onto several best-of-the-year lists and the EARSHOT national college charts as well as garnering play on CBC and commercial radio. STICKY MAGAZINE raves, "you have no idea how many times I had this entire album on repeat" and iheartmusic writes "they really are a remarkable band, and if their debut full-length is any indication, they're just getting started" while BROKEN SPEAKER exclaims "It truly is one of those can’t-put-it-down type of albums." The band has been winning fans across the country with a killer live show including buzzworthy appearances at Toronto's NXNE, POP MONTREAL and the HALIFAX POP EXPLOSION. Buying Shots for Bands says "there is maturity and passion in the vocals of Lee and Mara that command the stage" and Shattered Vinyl asserts "[their] solid arrangements, dual vocals and genuine energy make for a good time." The end of the year saw the Riffs headline over-capacity hometown shows, and win the ATLANTIS MUSIC PRIZE for Best Newfoundland Album in 2010. Following their sold-out, coast-to-coast Canadian tour supporting Polaris nominees HEY ROSETTA!, Gramercy Riffs will be spending the summer months touring in Newfoundland, Quebec and Ontario, and making appearances on the Canadian festival circuit.

WHAT'S BEEN SAID?

"Their different yet complimentary deliveries elevate Gramercy Riffs and their debut It’s Heartbreak above many others who’d seek to make adjectiveless pop-rock." - Chromewaves
"Flying in with the ever-so-successful vocal duality that’s trending around the world and music lovers continue to swooning over, The Riffs spun the Elmo silly with their enlightened array of east coast charm, so rich in youth culture and lighthearted hues of pop folk range that not a soul was still" - Kay Lazer, Pinkmafia. "... anthemic indie rock build-ups led by vocalist Mara Pellerin that denote true Canadiana potential" - Erik Leijon, Montreal Mirror. "At every sprawling festival like NXNE, you stumble upon that one band. The one you'd never heard of before, who you see almost by accident and then rave about endlessly to your friends like you discovered fire. For a lot of people at NXNE, that band is Gramercy Riffs" - Dave Jaffer, Spinner. "They're starting to garner a name, based on the fact that they make infectious, keyboard-based melodies with boy-girl vocals; Pellerin and Hanlon switch up songs of love and loss of love or understanding departure. " - Jessica Lewis, Exclaim!

Vanguards of the new Toronto funk-ish, BABE boast an infectious blend of relentless jazz-laden rhythm, propulsive bass and commanding soul. While their inaugural show was only in November 2010, BABE have quickly played increasingly higher profile shows, including with critical darlings PS I Love You, and a showcase at Canadian Music Week 2011 with Freedom or Death. As their current recordings are only a demo taste of the upcoming debut release "Making Piles", catching BABE perform live is really the only way to hear them. That is of course, if you don't mind a hazy and sweaty scenario where your feet are assaulting the dance floor. Playful and fresh, this rousing four-piece is 100% real fur.

".... Keep an eye out for these guys if you’re looking to catch a killer live act because they will destroy your eardrums with volume and intensity, along with any dwindling perception you might have had that dance music couldn’t rock your socks off." - The Indie Machine
"Kaleidoscopic electronica accented by soulful vocals, pulsating beats, smoothed-out by ambient soundscapes, taking elements of turntablism, world music, hip-hop, jazz and trip-hop." - The Lonely Vagabond
