Join us as we mourn the passing of Don Everly, try to figure out why The Everly Brothers are criminally underappreciated and us almost getting into a bar fight in LA right before meeting the man himself.
The real Prince in the words of those who knew him best—from award-winning author Touré.
Nothing Compares 2 U is an oral history built from years of interviews with dozens of people who were in Prince’s inner circle—from childhood friends to band members to girlfriends to managers to engineers to photographers, and more—all providing unique insights into the man and the musician.
This revelatory book is a deeply personal and candid discussion of who Prince really was emotionally, professionally, and romantically. It tackles subjects never-before-discussed, including Prince’s multiple personalities, his romantic relationships, his traumatic childhood and how it propelled him into his music career, and how he found the inspiration for some of his most important songs, including “Purple Rain,” “Starfish and Coffee,” and the unheard “Wally.”
Nothing Compares 2 U paints the most complete picture yet written of the most important and most mysterious artist of his time.
There’s palpable electricity in a kiss between two people meant to spend their lives together, and multi-award winning Americana Blues artist Francine Honey draws from her very own moment of romantic epiphany for her evocative new single, “Lightning” — available now.
For Honey, that life-changing moment happened 10 years ago during a train trip through the Canadian Rockies with a friend who had been, at one time, more than that. “We started the trip as old friends with no expectations of anything other than to have a travel companion on this once-in-a-lifetime trip on the Royal Canadian Pacific Express 1800’s steam train,” she recalls. “As the train weaved its way through the mountains and into the spiral tunnels of Yoho National Park, it was clear the old flames were still alive.”
The two shared a pivotal, emotionally charged kiss, and the realization they should be together forever hit them like… Well, lightning.
“This song is about the exact moment of the kiss that changed it all,” the Leamington, ON-born, now Ottawa, ON-based Honey explains. “That magical moment when you ‘know’…
“You are swirling in the clouds,” she continues. “You have been seized by a force, and heat enters your veins that is stronger than both of you. ‘Lightning’ embodies that moment when love takes hold of you, and there is no going back.”
“Lightning” lands ahead of the much-anticipated release of the prolific singer/songwriter’s forthcoming fourth — and fifth — albums, set for release this Fall 2021 and Spring 2022, respectively; both are recorded and mixed in Nashville by GRAMMY-nominated producer Neilson Hubbard at Skinny Elephant Studios.
Speaking of Nashville, this hauntingly beautiful and cinematic new track features the area’s cream of the crop players — including Megan McCormick on lap steel and singing backgrounds, Will Kimbrough on guitars, Danny Mitchell on keys, Dean Marold on bass, and Hubbard on drums.
The intimate and elegant video for “Lightning” features Honey dressed in a beautiful midnight-blue gown, performing the song at an antique upright piano with dramatic lightning and smoke effects interspersed throughout the clip. Filmed in Kentucky, just prior to the first pandemic lockdown, the video was executive produced by Honey and directed/edited by Joshua Britt and Neilson Hubbard of Neighborhoods Apart Productions.
“It was the last time I got all dressed up,” Honey recalls. “I remember feeling like a princess — as I did on the train in that moment.”
Honey celebrated the video release with an online video premiere and livestream open to the public, and with a lead-in, private VIP Zoom Party for her Hive fan club members; it’s access to the artist her 20K+ fans are fondly familiar with, as she regularly performs online shows called “Honey in Your Coffee” for her followers around the world.
Honey’s path to music is a classic tale of the head versus the heart. Initially a mathematics and computer science specialist, but always a songwriter in her soul, she left her tech career with the federal government to pursue music full time in 2013. Since then, Honey has dedicated herself to writing, recording and releasing music that has garnered numerous finalist and semi-finalist honours from industry organizations and competitions, such as the International Songwriting Competition, Canadian Songwriting Competition, UK Songwriting Competition, and a first-place honour from the Austin Songwriting Group for “Stay.” Honey’s 2019 holiday album, Take Me to the North Pole, made Rolling Stone Magazine’s Top 50 Christmas Albums of the Year list.
As a graduate of the Berklee College of Music Professional Singer-Songwriter Certificate Program, Honey regularly makes the nine-hour drive from Ontario to songwriting workshops in Nashville, where she has been mentored by icons like Beth Nielsen Chapman (who contributes backup vocals to Honey’s Snowflakes On My Eyelashes), Mike Reid (I Can’t Make You Love Me), Mary Gauthier (Mercy Now), Verlon Thompson (Boats to Build), Gretchen Peters (Independence Day), and Jonatha Brooke (Put the Gun Down).
Francine is a member of the Songwriter’s Association of Canada (SAC), Nashville Songwriters Association International, Canadian Country Music Association, and Americana Music Association. She co-ordinates the SAC’s Leamington/Windsor Regional Writer’s Group, mentoring other songwriters, and has showcased at the Texas Songwriters Symposium four years in a row, as well as NSAI Tin Pan North Festival, Hugh’s Room, the WinterFolk Blues and Roots Festival in Toronto, the Kingsville Folk Music Festival, and the Folk Music Ontario conference. Francine’s music and songwriting have not only taken her through Canada and the U.S., but the U.K., Switzerland, and Italy.
Francine Honey’s “Lightning” is available now.
Canadian rock band Melted Fro is wasting no time filling ears with the unique sound of this, their jet-fueled new single, “Lost At Home” — available now.
This filthy blues song takes on the tumultuous relationship we can have internally with ourselves; the idea is to introduce an objective perspective on being an introvert without sacrificing the energy in the music.
Mission accomplished; the epitome of “gutter rock,” the track boasts the sonic equivalent of dirt and grime usually found on an old gem in your grandfather’s record collection.
Melted Fro’s forthcoming and third album, Honey Pot — set for release August 27th — is far more than just a new collection of songs; the EP is an eclectic cacophony of musical emotions that mimic the highs and lows we all endure. You’re just as likely to navigate somber tones accenting more mature themes, as you are to find lightning rock riffs that are sure to please the soul.
Frontman and renaissance musician Kayne Calder knew he had something special on his hands with this release, saying, “I went into it just wanting to make an old school blues album like The Doors’ L.A. Woman, but ended up coming out with something completely different.”
The polished grit of Calder’s latest musical endeavor is the intense effort that comes with being in total control of your sound. Armed with the necessary tools in his signature basement studio, Calder carefully crafts and conducts every meticulous detail to give Melted Fro its unmistakable identity — and with all of the love that only a multi-disciplined singer/songwriter can provide. “I write, arrange, record, mix/master everything myself, so it’s a lot of work, but I really love music. I couldn’t imagine life without it.”
Melted Fro was founded through the singular effort of Kayne Calder in the small town of Tweed, Ontario, where his musical journey began in 2013. The evolution of his sound would draw from a range of rock genres all through one singular vision. His sonic operation is now located just outside of Peterborough, Ontario, where he performs live with various members to deliver a hard-rockin’ blues set that is embellished with all of the style and character of Melted Fro’s recordings.
“Lost At Home” is available now. Honey Pot is available August 27th, 2021.
Award-winning Toronto-based musician, educator, and “folktivist” Kenny Kirkwood is sharing his heart-truth and hopes for a future of healing in this, his new single featuring singer/activist Alana Bridgewater, “A Oneness Without Sides” — available now.
A thought provoking soul-anthem for peace on Earth, “A Oneness Without Sides” is the third single released in advance of the JUNO Award-winner’s upcoming album project, DEBWEWIN: 13 Songs for 13 Moons.
Debwewin is an Anishinaabemowin expression referring to one’s heart-truth. With the album’s songs created with Indigenous people’s guidance for reconciliation, “A Oneness Without Sides” joins the forthcoming LP’s previous singles, “Let’s Turn the World Around” and “Spirit You.”
“It reflects my journey to acknowledge the heart-wrenching truths about global capitalism and environmental damage,” the Toronto-based artist explains of writing “A Oneness Without Sides” in 2002, during a time of tremendous personal growth and discovering his own debwewin. “Now, in 2021, there is tremendous opportunity for Canadians for collective human healing.
“Following the painful acknowledgment of the past and present genocide happening on Turtle Island, many settlers are seeking peace by connecting with Indigenous ways of knowing and being. I’ve found a few good paths. Build good relations with our treaty partners in Canada. We can help each other find the way back to talking like we’re people.”
Kirkwood’s beautifully honest, forward focused lyrics in “A Oneness Without Sides” are showcased by a supremely talented and lauded collective of Toronto area musicians. Alongside Kirkwood, Gemini Award-nominated actor, singer, and activist Alana Bridgewater lends her powerfully soulful vocals to a string arrangement by Andrew Downing, with Michael Occhipinti on guitar, Carlie Howell on bass and Dave Clark on drums; the track was mixed by Joe Lapinski, and mastered by FEDGE.
“I’m honoured to be a part of this project,” Bridgewater — best known for her role as ‘Killer Queen’ in the Mirvish rock musical, We Will Rock You, as well as roles across a multitude of theatre, film, and television titles. ”I really hope it resonates with the masses.”
“The music conveys a hopeful longing for a better future,” Kirkwood says. “One found through community, and that honours Indigenous people and wise teachings.
“Care for the earth, and celebration of differences…” he adds, underscoring the inspiration for the song’s title. “‘A Oneness Without Sides.’”
Addressing hard societal and political truths in song requires conviction, and Kirkwood credits two very highly regarded Canadian musician-activists with helping him find his courage to do so. “Along with Buffy Sainte-Marie, who is a guiding light for so many worldwide, I grew up listening to Bruce Cockburn — and, at a time in my 30’s when I was looking for the meaning in my music, my parents suggested I take inspiration from his messages and actions.
“I then had a pivotal moment while playing saxophone with Gord Downie in 2003,” Kirkwood recalls. “He answered a fan’s question about whether musicians should be political, saying ‘Artists are citizens, citizens are people. If a mic is thrust in front of your mouth, you can decline to comment, but if you have one, I guess you should let ‘er rip. GIV’ER!’
“That gave me a lot of courage to keep writing and sharing my meta-political views through music,” he continues. “Downie said it would take Canadians 150 years to build an actual nation…I figure we may as well get started. Why wait to heal?”
Some of that writing and sharing has come through Kirkwood’s collaborations over the past decade with Indigenous people on Turtle Island, and worldwide, in working towards reconciliation. He worked with Anishinaabe and Onkwehón:we 2-Spirit people to create “Reconciliation Through Music 2017,” and has performed with award winning Haudenosaunee blues-jazz-rock artists such as Derek Miller, Lacie Hill, Joshua Arden Miller, Cheri Maracle, Murray Porter and The Ollivanders. He has also worked with other notable Canadian artists, including Kim Mitchell, Jacksoul, Kevin Breit, NOJO, and Paul Reddick.
DEBWEWIN: 13 Songs for 13 Moons has been designed to platform and engage the Reconciliation discussion, Kirkwood shares, with each track helping keep that discussion — and others about our world’s future — engaged and vital.
“A Oneness Without Sides” is available now. DEBWEWIN: 13 Songs for 13 Moons is available Spring 2022.
With an all-star production, video, and contributing roster, to boot, Canadian art-rock country collective Hot Mondy seize an all-new and outside-the-box creative license to write and record their first single, “Pale Ember,” and breakthrough debut self-titled EP — available now.
Helping to hone Hot Mondy’s exploration of sound for the release was multi-JUNO winning producer Michael Philip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Rheostatics, Great Big Sea, The Jerry Cans); the band and Wojewoda came together at Toronto’s Revolution Recording in early 2020 to track songs, but that was all they could get done for a while…
The band had just returned to Halifax after initial tracking when the COVID-19 pandemic shut the whole country down for well over a year. “It was both fun and challenging figuring out how to finish the EP during Covid,” the band recalls, “but it informed many of our choices in a really interesting way.”
The band also called on a variety of top talent to complete the album; in addition to friend and collaborator Loel Campbell of Wintersleep on drums, lap steel player Christine Bougie (Bahamas), singer/songwriter Claire Coupland (vocals), fiddler Kendal Carson (Matt Mays, Alan Doyle), pianist Rob Preuss (Spoons, Honeymoon Suite), and GRAMMY/JUNO Award-nodded violinist/arranger Drew Jurecka (Jeff Healey, Dua Lipa) all added their talents as well.
A dramatic look back at the ashes of a flamed-out romance — and first unveiling of the release — “Pale Ember” ranges from quiet recollection to an emotional roar as the Halifax-based collective puts their finest talents on display. An exciting mélange of wide-open country, soulful blues and raw rock ‘n’ roll, the song sets the tone for Hot Mondy — an album they describe as a “genre-bending exploration of country, rock and roots, wrapped in a cinematic universe.”
The video for “Pale Ember” features additional high-profile talents: dancers Kelli Baker (So You Think You Can Dance, High School Musical), and Chris Jarosz (Broadway’s Wicked, LaLa Land, In the Heights) in an alternatingly graceful and powerfully intense exchange, Choreographed by Bonnie Story (High School Musical), the video was directed by Imagine That Films’ Brad Tobler (Stranger Things) — who is also creating a full visual album for all six tracks across the EP.
Just one glance at the Halifax-based band’s to-the-point social media bio, “Hot Mondy makes music,” tells you what they’re all about — while still leaving it up to the listener to draw their own stylistic conclusion.
But what is Hot Mondy, really?
Formed in 2019, Hot Mondy are Matt Rhind (lead vocals), Travis Flint (guitar and lead vocals), Troy Arseneault (lead guitar), Mat Budreski (rhythm guitar), and Matt Brannon (Bass, lyricist) — a collaboration by five friends who started performing classic outlaw country music, each passionate about songwriting, and deeply varied in musical backgrounds.
This is a band, not a brand, and to illustrate how serious they are about the quality of their music, Hot Mondy is offering a 48K/24-bit high resolution edition of their eponymous album, as well as both 33 and 45rpm 180g vinyl mastered by Nashville’s heralded Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound.
While they’ve already written and recorded 13 more tracks for a full sophomore slated for release next year, “Pale Ember” and Hot Mondy are proof positive straight out of the gate that these East Coast outlaws are in residence, and have taken the time to settle in, get comfortable, and decorate the rooms.
Hot Mondy and “Pale Ember” are available now.

Garbage have today announced details of their upcoming 20th anniversary reissue of the band’s third studio album, beautifulgarbage. The reissue will be released via UMe on October 1st, exactly twenty years after the album was first available. The band have also revealed a previously unheard version of the album’s lead single “Androgyny.” The track features lyrical content and a message that was ahead of its time upon its initial release in 2001 and was also reflective of Garbage’s new, pop-leaning sound.
Speaking about the beautifulgarbage reissue, Shirley Manson says:
‘We wanted to celebrate the release of our third album in the same manner as we have celebrated the 20th anniversaries of our previous two records, as we cherish this third child of ours just as much as its predecessors. Over time it has garnered more and more respect from our fans, with many of the songs remaining in rotation in our live sets to this day. We’ve always felt incredibly proud of this record and felt it was in many ways very much ahead of its time.
Twenty years down the line, we are all exceedingly grateful to have such well-crafted songs in our discography and are very proud that against all the odds we are still standing and can give our beloved album the tribute it so very much deserves’.
Marking a departure from the sound that Garbage had established on their first two releases, beautifulgarbage was written and recorded over the course of a year. Shirley Manson chronicled the band’s efforts weekly online, becoming one of the first high-profile musicians to keep an internet blog in the process. The album expanded on the band’s acclaimed musical variety with more direct lyrics and sounds that mixed rock with electronic, new wave, hip hop and girl group influences.
This brand-new edition has been remastered from the original recordings and will be released across Deluxe 3LP, 2LP, Deluxe 3CD and Digital Deluxe formats. The deluxe vinyl edition includes beautifulgarbage on 2x heavyweight black LPs, as well as a third LP of B-sides and memorabilia. The two 2LP formats have been pressed on heavyweight black and special white vinyl respectively. The reissue product suite also includes a 3CD deluxe edition featuring the original album, B-sides, demos and remixes housed in a clamshell case. The digital deluxe edition includes exclusive bonus remixes. The full track listing can be found below.

The Rolling Stones have today announced the release of 40th anniversary, expanded deluxe editions of their chart-topping, multi-platinum 1981 album Tattoo You.
The newly-remastered set, out on October 22, will be accompanied by no fewer than nine previously unreleased tracks from the era. The first of these, the irresistible rocker “Living In The Heart Of Love,” is available now on all digital services, and Tattoo You (40th Anniversary Edition) is available to pre-order in multiple formats.
Today’s announcement comes 40 years to the week since the celebrated album was first released on August 24, 1981, and as the rock ‘n’ roll legends prepare to return to the road with 13 new dates on the No Filter tour in the U.S. The new itinerary starts on September 26 in St. Louis and extending into November.
Anticipation for the new editions of Tattoo You will be high among Stones devotees and new admirers alike. The 40th anniversary remaster of the original 11-track album includes such enduring favorites as “Hang Fire,” “Waiting On A Friend” (showcasing jazz saxophone giant Sonny Rollins) and of course the opening track that’s been a band signature ever since, “Start Me Up.” The deluxe formats will also include Lost & Found: Rarities and Still Life: Wembley Stadium 1982.
The Lost & Found disc contains no fewer than nine songs from the period of the album’s original release, newly completed and enhanced with additional vocals and guitar by the band. Among these, “Living In The Heart Of Love” is a quintessential Stones rock workout with all of the group on top form, complete with urgent guitar licks and fine piano detail.
Other highlights of Lost & Found include a killer version of “Shame, Shame, Shame,” first recorded in 1963 by one of the band’s blues heroes, Jimmy Reed; their reading of Dobie Gray’s soul gem “Drift Away;” and a fascinating reggae-tinged version of “Start Me Up.”
Still Life: Wembley Stadium 1982 is an unmissable memento of the band’s London show in June of that year on the Tattoo You tour. The mighty 26-track set is packed with Stones mega-hits, including an opening “Under My Thumb” and all-time greats such as “Let’s Spend The Night Together,” “Honky Tonk Women” and “Brown Sugar.”
The Wembley show has covers of the Temptations’ “Just My Imagination,” Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock,” the Miracles’ “Going To A Go Go” and early rock ‘n’ roller the Big Bopper’s “Chantilly Lace.” It also features early live workouts for tracks from the then-new Tattoo You such as “Start Me Up,” “Neighbours,” “Little T&A” and “Hang Fire.”
Polydor/Interscope/UMe’s Tattoo You (40th Anniversary Edition) follows the 2020 reissue of the Stones’ 1973 landmark Goats Head Soup, which took the album back to No. 1 in the U.K. Remarkably, this marked the second time their peerless catalog had produced a U.K. chart-topper twice over, after 2010’s deluxe edition of their 1972 staple Exile On Main St.
On first release, Tattoo You, produced by the Glimmer Twins with associate producer Chris Kimsey, topped the charts in the U.S. (where it went quadruple platinum), Canada, Australia and across much of Europe, with gold and platinum awards around the world.
THE ROLLING STONES’ TATTOO YOU (40TH ANNIVERSARY) WILL BE RELEASED AS MULTI-FORMAT AND DELUXE EDITIONS BY POLYDOR/INTERSCOPE/UME ON OCTOBER 22, 2021
