Today on the Bsides, we spotlight a new band hailing from Canada, by the name of Cygnets.
Having shared the stage with acts, such as You Say Party! We Say Die! and Shout Out Out Out Out, they are definitely a group that has been drawing attention.
Fevers are an Ottawa-based five-piece musical unit, who describe themselves as "purveyors of independent electronic pop."
Their music is a fresh take on the classic genre, combining indie rock and electronic music. They built on the work of M83, Passion Pit and The Postal Service and developed their own distinct modern sound...and they do it well.
"I want to help people who think they are stuck in life and can't make it better, to keep it moving. I want to be someone's rock and safe place when everything falls apart." ~Rebecca Raabis
This up and coming independent singer/songwriter is about to prove that dreams really can come true.
Hot off her big Juno win, Meaghan Smith is travelling across the country promoting her latest Holiday release called 'It Snowed'.
Toronto-based singer Eleanor McCain has just released her fourth album, just in time for the season aptly named, Holiday. The two disc CD of holiday songs falls into two collections that create two distinct sentiments ─ a “Naughty” side of up-tempo and jazzy secular selections and a “Nice” side of intimate and traditional choral tracks.
“I find it exciting to be alive and be a working musician, and all these things just keep opening up for me..."
~Sarah Slean (from National Post interview)
Singer/songwriter Sara Lov has a brand new album coming out (February 15th) called “I Already Love You”.
Sara describes her voice as 'Simple and sad, with a shot of scotch"....think moody meets angelic....and very smooth.
The release consists of 10 cover songs, including Ron Sexsmith's “Just My Heart Talkin’ ” and “There is a Light That Never Goes Out” by The Smiths.
Here is the video for Sara's rendition of 'Just My Heart Talkin' by Ron Sexsmith...
With the Juno Awards coming up in Ottawa on April 1st, I decided to spotlight some of the next up and coming Canadian artists—who knows one day they may be gracing the Juno stage...
Up first, is an artist who has already made his way to my iPod. Drum roll please. His name? James Struthers.

The Face, The Voice, The Blog!
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.
