Based in Winnipeg, Canada there is a creative under the name of Jordsy, who plays both as a solo artist and as part of a band. His solo material on which this review is focussed has an indie-folk-pop sound to it. The solo vehicle came in to being last year (2011) and already there is a plethora […]
Lamont James
Lamont James, played some music, got a B.Sc moved back to the home-space of Toronto in Canada and now plays more music. A multi-instrumentalist, classically trained musician, Lamont James is un-ashamed to add other musicians as and where it makes sense, though ever insistent it is his vocal. Heading back to the late ’60s and British rock, I […]
Delica-m
Delica-m, is a band fromToronto in Canada - Herm (vocals / Keys), Em (vocals), Rich (guitar) and Steve (stunt keys) push out in intriguing electro-pop sound. Perhaps it is because I was just reading a press release about a Metal Festival, but the vocal is a touch of magic with Delica-m, taking the band away from an arty electro-band […]

Elephant Stone
Elephant Stone from Montreal in Canada, shone in to focus with their debut album, The Seven Seas, back in 2009, but as ever, I have been sitting on info for a while. Rishi Dhir, Bobby Fraser, Gab Lambert and Jules Pampena create a suitable back-drop as I write this on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I […]

Trevor Lewington (vocals and guitar), Brian Buchanan (vocals, fiddle, keyboards and guitar), Craig Downie (bagpipes, harmonica, whistle and vocals), Mark Abraham ( bass, vocals and Bruce McCarthy (drums) combine to generate current Celtic rock. Often bands don’t need comparisons, purely superlatives- […]

The trio of Nils Edenloff (Vocals and Guitar), Amy Cole (Vocals, Keyboard & Percussion) and Paul Banwatt (Drums) come from Toronto in Canada, describing their music as reflecting the images og growing up in north and Central Alberta. Even the band name demands a second […]

Michael Champion (Guitar and vocals) and David Phu (Guitar) combine their passion for pop-rock, dance music, minimalism and melodies. Combining Synthscape to clean composition, generating enervating dance beats. I wouldn’t try to guess the number of bands who send […]
