Car287 – “Ain’t Nothin’ Now”

Formed in a Winnipeg basement in 2014, this Canadian rock band started as a trio consisting of Jay Yarmey, Travis Wog and Terry Ferguson. They were joined in 2023 by drummer Ryan Olenick. Blending the spirit of 70s rock and the indie rock vibes of the 00s, they created their own sound. Since then they’ve played various venues and festivals such as Dauphin Countryfest and the Norseman Festival. Inspired by The Killers and The Tragically Hip, they debuted with their self-titled EP in 2022.

Deeply dipped in nostalgia for the days of yore, their new single combines heartfelt lyrics with a virulent retro rock edge. Taken from their recently released album “Looking Through The Lens”, it’s the rip-roaring electric guitars that instantly draw us in. Through the 80s-tinged guitar riffs and electrifying percussion they forge an vigorous rawness to the melody. And with energetic vocals dancing around the rousing hooks, this blistering groove is a retrospective tour de force.

Melissa Bonny – “Snow On Mars”

Born in Montreux and based in Denmark, this Swiss singer/songwriter has been on the music scene since 2012. Known for being a heavy metal singer, she started her career with the band Evenmore, followed by Rage Of Light. In 2018 she formed Ad Infinitum and in 2021 she co-founded The Dark Side Of The Moon. Along with many collaborations, she shared the stage with Alice Cooper in 2020. Inspired by Kamelot, Nightwish and Demi Lovato, she debuted solo with “Gravitate” in 2024.

Recognising a world in decline and evoking a desire to escape its destiny, her new single dreams of finding a hideaway in the infinity of the universe. Taken from her upcoming album “Cherry Red Apocalypse”, expected on January 23, 2026, the song is a power ballad which blends organic instrumentation with reflective lyrics. Starting in an ethereal dream world, the melody erupts with a cinematic sonic flair. And with her powerful vocals, this anthemic tune is a mesmerizing treasure.
