Ready? Let’s Go!

Artist: Alee
Hometown: Edmonton, AB
Genre: Country
Related: Meghan Patrick, Madeline Merlo, Jess Moskaluke
Song: Don’t Make Me Miss You
Notes: Alee is back with a fresh summer song for our playlists. Don’t Make Me Miss You is a jam and we’re into it. Alee’s voice is smooth and the vibe of the track gives us everything we want from the 2017 CCMA Female Artist of the Year nominee.

Artist: DILLY DALLY
Hometown: Toronto, ON
Genre: Rock
Related: Summer Cannibals, Bully, Chastity Belt
Song: I Feel Free
Notes: I Feel Free is a little dark with a 90s alt-rock vibe in the vocals, driving drums and ringing guitars. It’s a song that will grab your attention, and hold it until the last note fades…

Artist: cleopatrick
Hometown: Cobourg, ON
Genre: Rock
Related: Bleeker, Big Spring, Twin Wild
Song: youth
Notes: New rock duo, cleopatrick are back with youth to kick off summer 2018. The song looks back to nights spent playing the guitar in the basement instead of hitting up small town parties packed with chest puffing and toxic masculinity. Turn this one up and let it howl.

Artist: The Hope State
Hometown: Toronto, ON / Los Angeles, CA / Saskatoon, SK
Genre: Pop/Rock/Country
Related: Jimmy Eat World, Saint Alvia
Song: Just Survive
Notes: Just Survive combines earnest and honest lyrics over a beat that wouldn’t make you guess that’s where it was going. Listen to the lyrics and be ready to feel all the feels while your toes tap without even thinking about it.

Artist: Kansas Stone
Hometown: Barrie, ON
Genre: Country
Related: Jason Blaine, River Town Saints, Cold Creek County
Song: Blaze Of Nothing
Notes: Kansas Stone set the tone for a laid-back and lazy summer with Blaze Of Nothing. The new track from the Barrie boys has a sun daze feel and would go perfectly with an afternoon on the dock with a cold beer or three.

Artist: Midland
Hometown: Dripping Springs, TX
Genre: Country
Related: Brothers Osborne, Drake White, The Cadillac Three
Song: Tougher Than The Rest
Notes: Midland do great country justice to Springsteen’s 1987 Tougher Than The Rest in their new Spotify singles release. The harmonies that the trio has become known for shine and the song stands as a classic through the new version from Mark, Cameron, and Jess.
