Our sweet and snazzy showcase features:

Hooded Fang

“big fun, and they’ve never been better. This is a brisk, rambunctious blast of Nuggets-esque garage-rock with an authentic air of jubilant ’60s naiveté and effortless Fang melodies flying all over the place.”

- Toronto.com

Belgrave

“Canadian outfit, Belgrave, is blowing my mind…”
- Citizen Dick

Holland Creek

“Erik Virtanen starts out ahead in music-making with a voice naturally armed with the agonized catch, the sorrowful scratch and twist, the sexy scrape usually saved for those who dedicate centuries to scotch and absinthe.”
- Indyish

Pree

“Though Pree shares a number of Le Loup’s animating elements, Tabol’s current project seems more intimate, rustic, folk-tinged.”
- NPR

Little Tybee

“Delicately constructed orchestral pop music with enough adventure to keep wandering ears at bay, Little Tybee oozes southern charm with a dash of classicism capable of penetrating a generation of music fans beyond their own years.”
