In the vein of Sloan's "Between the Bridges," very indie pop, very cool vibe…drum roll…this is Andrew Johnston.
Canada has always been a great importer of indie pop. From Sloan to The New Pornographers, you never know what the Great North will produce. Epic musical acts that take the world by storm and find a special place in your heart. So with that said, it's time to meet your new favorite musical obsession, Andrew Johnston.
There's a new band on the Canadian music scene...they have a hit single which you've likely heard all summer long.
The band? The New Cities (Sony Music). The single? Heatwave
So today is the day.
I am off to Montreal with my sister, cousins and brother's girlfriend to go see NKOTBSB in concert.
And cue screams of delight.
The 18-year old girl in me is very, very excited. She's making me go to this concert. Forcing me really. The 18-year old girl in me gets all full of serious attitude and becomes unbearably bitchy when she doesn't get her way.
Degeneration Street, the fifth album from the Montreal band The Dears, delivers the passion and soul that has earned the band the adoration of fans and critics worldwide is finally out in all it's musical glory.
I love, love, love it. It's an incredible record.

Consuelo Bernardi is a 30-something mummy of two. She can't play an instrument or sing a tune in key but is still obsessed with music. After a five year hiatus from the radio business she's back on the air doing weekends on Majic 100, Today's Soft Rock in Ottawa.
Still she always found the time to listen to music and make it a huge part of her life. She has more CDs than she cares to count and her monthly downloading bill for her iPod? Don’t even go there. Music truly is food for her soul. Plus secretly she’s always wanted to be a wannabe rock star...a girl can dream.
So take a minute from your day and crank up the volume. Motherhood isn't always pretty but at least your music will be hot.
