The Strumbellas – “Salvation”

Formed back in 2008, this Toronto-based Canadian sextet concocted a lively fusion of folk, pop and indie-rock, which they refer to as Folk Popgrass. They dropped their debut EP in 2009. In 2011, their inaugral full-length album “My Father And The Hunter” earned them a Juno nomination, ultimately winning Album Of The Year for their next album “We Still Move On Dance Floors” in 2014.

Pouring a sense of positivity into a musical cauldron filled with equal measures of folk, country, pop and a generous dollop of infectious joie de vivre, their latest single brews a rejuvenating, thirst-quenching tonic. With a boisterous, foot-stompin’ beat, acoustic guitar strums and multi-layered vocals, it’s the sheer optimism and lively folk-pop melody which makes this a tasty treat of pure joyous fun.

Deidre & The Dark – “Bad Day”

Fueled by a love for all things 50s and 60s, Brooklyn-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Deidre Muro started this mid-century infused, technicolored project. Fusing 60s Pop, Rock ‘n’ Roll and Soul with a contemporary production, she debuted in 2011 with the EP “Curious Parcel”. She’s also a partner in record label YouTooCanWoo and composes for varied musical projects.

With the invigorating, flower-powerful intro of her latest single, she dives into the brightly lit swinging sixties with style. Decked out with a bouncy rhythm, sprightly flute and vivacious organ, which blend the groovy Pop sound with a touch of Jazz into a far out auditory experience, the addition of her hip, vintage-dipped vocals add a jumpin’ cinematic flamboyancy to Shimmy and Boogie to.

From her upcoming album “Variety Hour”, to be released on 5 February 2019:
