FLEECE – “How Far Would You Go”

Formed in 2013 when Matthew Rogers, Ethan Soil and Gabe Miller left to study at Concordia University, this Canadian band takes indie-rock and dips it in pop and jazz hues. Gabe Miller has since left and the band is now completed with Megan Ennenberg and Jameson Daniel. They’ve performed at venues like House Of Blues and the Brooklyn Bowl and festivals such as BottleRock and Musikfest. Inspired by The Pixies, Tame Impala and Bon Iver, they debuted with their album “Scavenger” in 2015.

Capturing the rush of budding love and the thrill those new emotions conjure up, their new single is a delicious concoction of dreamy pop, colourful psychedelia and a sprinkling of laid-back jazz. Taken from their upcoming album “TORNADO”, expected on October 1st, the song kicks off softly with some inviting electric guitar strums. Coming alive in the vibrant chorus, it’s the sprightly rhythm, playful keys and airy vocals that makes this carefree sonic cocktail taste extra delectable.

Remember Monday – “Happier”

Consisting of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, this British trio met in college and bonded over a shared love for music. They all gained stage experience by performing in various musicals. Formed in 2013 as Houston, they changed their name in 2018 and appeared on The Voice UK a year later. In 2025 they represented the UK at Eurovision with “What The Hell Just Happened?”. Inspired by The Chicks, Taylor Swift and Alison Krauss, they debuted with “Drive” in 2018.

Singing about having dealt with all the stages of grief after a breakup and being left with sheer joy and a renewed positivity for the future, their new single is an empowering anthem. Starting emotional with an ABBA-esque piano and their intricately layered harmonies, the song finds an elated bounce in the chorus with a reggae-infused pop melody. While celebrating their new-found freedom, their sophisticated vocal fusion douses this gleeful infectious groove in radiant summery vibes.
