In The Spotlight

Julie Eddy – “The Rug”

Originally from South Dakota and based in Nashville, this singer and songwriter began performing at a young age and spent her teenage years singing and playing live as much as she could. Since moving to Nashville she’s played shows at renowned venues such as The Listening Room and The Basement. She’s also written songs for other artists like Rachel LaRen and opened for the likes of Chase Matthew, Granger Smith and Dan + Shay. She released her debut “My Kind Of High” in 2021.

Singing about a relationship with idyllic dreams for the future, only to be betrayed by your loved one who pulled the rug right from under you, her new single is her trying to make sense of the treachery and heartbreak. Taken from her upcoming album “Playing House”, expected on May 2nd, she captures her harrowing tale in an emotive country-pop melody. With mighty drums, vibrant guitars and the fiery anguish in her vocals, this impassioned tune knows how to reach your heart.

In The Spotlight

Strange Plants – “Horseshoe Smile”

Based in Halifax and consisting of Travis Flint and Matt Brannon, this Canadian duo are no strangers to the music scene. Having met 6 years ago, they’ve been in a few musical projects together, most notably the alt-country collective Hot Mondy. Realizing their musical direction was pointing elsewhere, they combined their eclectic tastes into this new retro-dipped project. Inspired by Pink Floyd, Supertramp and Tears For Fears, they released their debut “Tell Me All Your Secrets, Pt.2” in 2025.

Shining a light on a world run by phonies and narcissists, their new single shows the truth behind the surplus of fake smiles. Taken from their upcoming, self-titled album, expected on June 6th, they created a bouncy, multi-layered melody, doused in psychedelic nostalgia. From the driving percussion, 80s-dipped electric guitars and a trippy, Beatle-esque trumpet solo to Matt’s Beach Boys-influenced vocals, this vibrant tune takes the vibes of the past and moulds them into something fresh.
