Artist: Crown Lands
Hometown: Oshawa, ON
Genre: Rock
Related Artists: Band of Rascals, The Standstills, One Bad Son
Song: Mountain
Notes: As one of Canada’s rising stars in rock, Crown Lands continue to give fans of the genre something to cheer about with Mountain. Cody’s vocals rip through the track, and the well executed two-piece sound of his drums and Kevin’s guitar produce the sound that they’re becoming known for. The video for Mountain is powerful, with a message and imagery of our First Nations issues that cannot and should not be ignored.

Artist: KNIFEY
Hometown: Toronto, ON
Genre: Alternative/Indie/Punk
Related Artists: Lush Buffalo, The Dirty Nil, Sam Coffey and The Iron Lungs
Song: Serf
Notes: With a ton of energy, KNIFEY bring Serf to listeners looking for a jam that they can dance around to. In fact, we highly recommend that you turn the volume up a few notches for this one and enjoy this fun song, and the video that has just as much fun packed in as the track does alone!

Artist: tamtam
Hometown: Saudi Arabia / LA
Genre: Pop
Related Artists: Marc Stern, Bushra alhomoud, Saüd
Song: Blue
Notes: tamtam say that Blue is about heartbreak and feeling haunted at the end of a dissolved romance, while the other person seems so cool. A listen through the song makes that pretty clear. With solid beats in the background, and vocal work that sits at the forefront, right in your face and holds your attention from start to finish.
