East Coast Rock Duo The Town Heroes Announce Tour Dates and Music Video for ‘Slag Heaps’‏

Mike Ryan and Bruce Gillis have a reputation to live up to. The two-piece band from Halifax were voted the Best Band in 2012 and 2011’s Best New Artist in the Coast’s new music poll. Self-described as “the most noise two Cape Bretoners can make”, The Town Heroes make up for their minimalist numbers with their musicianship, passion, and energy. The band’s stellar live shows have lead them to showcase at Canadian Music Week and representing Canada at festivals in Germany and the UK.

The band’s hilarious blog posts, often writing not-replied-to letters to the likes of Jay-Z or Natalie Portman, has turned many-a-head. But make no qualms, The Town Heroes are serious musicians with a sense of humour.

With the new EP in tow, The Town Heroes are now bringing their working class anthems and sweat-drenched live show to venues across Ontario. The band will also be making an appearance at Charlottetown’s Summerfest, Toronto’s North by Northeast and St. Catharines’s S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival this June. Download their debut album below. New EP to be serviced later in the summer.

Audio Blood Client Listings feat. Sandman Viper Command, Ben Caplan, Five Alarm Funk, and more‏

Happy May!

It’s been a hectic time for us here as we gear down from one festival season only to find ourselves jumping into another. Though NXNE is still a month away, we’re already starting to feel the pressure. Nothing we can’t handle.

We’re also preparing for the Toronto International Music Summit (TIMS), at which AB President/Founder Sari Delmar will be a panelist. We’re pleased to be assisting TIMS with their promotion during the month of May. We’ll also be keeping you posted about the Audio Blood family’s appearances at  the S.C.E.N.E Music Festival (Sandman Viper Command, Ben Caplan for starters).  Let’s not forget Edgefest 2012 creeping up July 14th in Toronto! Our partners in music appreciation at Sneaky Dee’s and Jägermeister are prepping for NXNE as well - we will definitely keep you up-to-date on the party plans!

AB’s Jaimie Milburn and Paper Lions Weigh in about Social Media in Canadian Musician Magazine

Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

Charlottetown’s Paper Lions Exceed 1 Million Views on Youtube Video for ‘Travelling’, Plans to Play NXNE and Release Acoustic EP for June 2012‏

Fan favourites Paper Lions have a lot to celebrate this spring and summer! Their music video for “Travelling” just surpassed the 1 million views mark, with numbers continuing to grow by the thousands every day, and they are fresh off the heels of nominations for “Song of the Year” and “Fan’s Choice Entertainer of the Year” at the 2012 East Coast Music Awards!

We’re getting views in Kuwait, we’re getting views in Darfour. We’re getting views in Germany, Australia, all over the place… When you start thinking about your music touching that amount of people on a regular basis, it kind of makes my jaw drop a little bit,” says drummer David Cyrus MacDonald of the viral status of the “Travelling” video in an interview with CBC.

To further prove just how much love is in the air for Paper Lions these days, the band also reached their goal of $10,000 for recording via a crowdfunding website to help them record their forthcoming LP. Said LP is slated for a fall release and features the production work of Howard Redekopp. Redekopp’s impressive portfolio includes producing releases from Tegan & Sarah, Said the Whale, Mother Mother, and more!

With such a strong start to 2012, Paper Lions are chugging forward on stellar momentum, preparing to to release an acoustic EP in June 2012, with supporting East Coast and Ontario dates, including North By Northeast and The Dragonboat Festival!

More about Paper Lions:

Hailing from the unlikely small community of Belfast, Prince Edward Island, brothers John and Rob MacPhee and neighbour Colin Buchanan began playing music together at a very young age in a variety of garage bands. After meeting in high school, David Cyrus MacDonald was recruited and Paper Lions cemented with John and Rob filling the positions of lead vocals and bass respectively, Colin on lead guitar and David on drums.

Eight years and three vans in, with over 1300 shows played, Paper Lions has received 16 ECMA nominations and one win, over twenty PEIMA nominations and four wins, the Touring Artist of the Year award from CAPACOA, a Verge Music Award nomination, and a CBC Radio 3 ‘Bucky’ award nomination. They’ve played Hillside Festival, Virgin Festival, The Warped Tour, Stan Rogers Folk Festival, Evolve Festival and many more. They’ve shared the stage with such varied acts as CAKE, Tokyo Police Club, Hollerado, The Rheostatics, No Joy, Hot Hot Heat and Electric Six. They’ve had their songs featured on primetime television shows, MuchMusic, MTV and AUX, had an iTunes Single of the Week, were finalists in the 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Competition and won the David Suzuki Playlist for the Planet competition.

Crystalyne Releases Debut EP “Navigate” And Announces Supporting Ontario Tour Dates

Up and coming pop quartet Crystalyne are excited to announce the release of their much anticipated Navigate EP on June 5th, 2012. After just wrapping up a 3 month tour of visiting over 60 high schools in Canada earlier this year, the band has been cutting their teeth on the road and are finally ready to share some new material with fans. To support the new release Crystalyne will be kicking off an extensive tour on June 2nd in their hometown, Toronto.

Playing music and touring relentlessly is not uncharted waters for Crystalyne. Good and Broken, front woman Marissa Dattoli’s, previous musical project was featured on the second season of MuchMusic’s disBAND and their music videos have seen over 500,000 plays. The show garnered a lot of attention but internal struggles lead to their eventual demise. Not to be discouraged, Marissa quickly was back at the microphone with 3 new band members to form the now stronger than ever Crystalyne.

The lead single off “Navigate”, “Wolves” has a compelling video to go along with the equally compelling track. The song showcases Dattoli’s impressival vocal range and the bands skillful blend of aggressive rock and melodic pop. “Navigate” will be available digitally on June 5th.

The #NAVIGATETOUR will span the whole month of June with Justin Dubé (Everlea) supporting on the majority of the shows. Crystalyne will also touch down in St. Catharines for a performance at S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival. Dates and download links below.

Exclaim.ca Premieres Sandman Viper Command’s ‘Feel is Good’ Today, Canadian Leg of North American Tour Kicks off Sunday‏

Fans of Sandman Viper Command are in for a variety of great things from the band during the month of May. For starters, the band has already begun their grand tour of North America. The tour kicked off on April 27th and will conclude May 27th, with plenty of stops in both Canada and the United States. The prospect of a Sandman Viper Command live-show is great, but SVC has sweetened the deal by preparing a new release, titled Feel is Good, that fans can stream on Exclaim.ca starting today! Fans will be available to download “Feel is Good’ for free starting on Monday May 14th! The band will also be selling limited edition coloured cassette tapes featuring the two new songs at their shows.

The single will be the first hint of what Sandman Viper Command has been cooking up with producer Dave King for their upcoming full-length release. Feel is Good will include the title track, which has been debuted at a number of SVC shows, and the song ‘Clean Inside’. The Feel is Good 7inch will be available later in the summer.

For the uninitiated, Sandman Viper Command are a four-piece rock explosion from Toronto by-way-of Hamilton, ON. While other kids were making tough decisions about becoming doctors and lawyers, the intrepid lads of SVC were booking shows and hard at work on their debut album, Everybody See This. Garnering the praise of audience and critics alike, the band has become known for their exquisite brand of catchy rock and roll. The band’s live show is a powerful and energetic experience, making catching the band live (and grabbing a copy of Feel is Good) a must this spring.

While playing 5+ sets at this year’s Canadian Music Week in Toronto, local production company Studiofeed recorded a 10 minute mini-documentary on the band highlighting the recording of these two new tracks and more! Watch it here!
