With tons of new releases set to explode onto the music scene this spring, it is hard to decipher what is listen-worthy and what is not. One way that artists are giving fans (and critics) a taste of what is to come is by sampling tracks off their future releases during their live shows. The [...]]]></description>

Saturday, March 13th was met with many challenges for anyone looking to jump from venue to venue during CMF. With tons of rain and fierce winds, we were grateful to take refuge at the Rivoli for The Nova Scotia Showcase.

We unknowingly walked into the private party just as Paul Murphy (Wintersleep guitarist &#38; vocalist) graced the [...]]]></description>

iheartthemusic kicked off CMW at the Eye Weekly showcase at The Roosevelt Room. On the lineup was Styrofoam Ones, DVAS, and Parallels. While the bands were no stranger to CMW, it was evident that The Roosevelt Room was. We arrived at the venue only to find that they were charging media $20 cover (despite having a media pass) and [...]]]></description>

Day two of CMW for iheartthemusic saw us at the Opera House to review the completely sold-out show featuring Saukrates, Woodhands and headliner K-OS.  CBC radio were taping the concert live so the entire event had huge buzz and the excitement was rampant throughout the building.

Toronto hip-hop and R&#38;B artist Saukrates opened the show and definitely set the tone of the evening.  He [...]]]></description>

I want to get soapy with you! This is not some weird sexual innuendo, but rather the opening lines to Peter Chapman&#8217;s aka Peter Project&#8217;s latest EP Fresh. Cleanliness or &#8220;freshness&#8221; is the theme of the album, which is not only provided through the packaging; the album is in fact a bar of soap in [...]]]></description>

To write about K&#8217;naan involves delving into a life story of violence, corruption and racism, all the while trying to find one&#8217;s identity. Much of his music involves sharing the story of his life growing up in war torn Somalia, moving to America and finding a home in Canada. Regarded as much a political artist [...]]]></description>

Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker (or USS) consists of one part vocalist/guitarist Ash Bucholz (&#8220;Ash Boo-Schultz&#8221;) and turntablist/hypeman Jason Parsons (&#8220;Human Kebab&#8221;). Don&#8217;t ask us where these names came from, just know that it IS an indication of how crazy and out there these two guys are!

Reality TV programming is a phenomenon that appears to have taken over our TV screens with persistent aggressiveness. It is not only where people&#8217;s lives are being displayed for all to see, but also where they are changed for the better (and the worse). &#8220;Change for the better&#8221; was definitely the case for Edmonton pop-rock group STEREOS.
