Artist: Metric
Hometown: Toronto, ON
Genre: Rock / Pop
Related: Stars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tegan and Sara
Song: Dressed To Suppress
Notes: Dressed To Suppress is Metric giving us exactly what we wanted to hear when we hit play. The new single a rock/pop mix that features another strong delivery from Emily Haines. There’s a new album coming this fall from the Toronto band, and we can safely say that we’re excited for it.

Genre: Pop / Country

Song: Easy On You
Song: Wrong For You
Notes: Livy Jeanne is back with new music for the first time in… a while, and we like it. With two songs, Easy On You and Wrong For You, the Edmonton-to-Nashville singer/songwriter shows more of her pop side, with her country roots hidden just under the surface.

Artist: Halestorm
Hometown: Red Lion, PA
Genre: Rock
Related: Shinedown, Theory Of A Deadman, Sick Puppies
Song: Buzz
Notes: Step 1) Turn up the volume. Step 2) Let the rock and roll wash over you. Halestorm’s Buzz is another in a long line of bangers that make us want to move and shout and push into a crowd at the front of the stage at a loud rock show. The new album from Halestorm, Vicious, is available now, and you best believe we’ll be listening!

Artist: Kadooh
Hometown: Vancouver, BC via Hanna, AB
Genre: Country
Related: Andrew Hyatt, Shawn Austin, Brad Saunders
Song: 24 Reasons
Notes: The debut country single from Kadooh is a smooth, easy ride – perfectly fit for summer… and dealing with a breakup. 24 Reasons is a strong hello to Canadian country music from music industry vet (State Of Shock) and we’ll have this one on playlists while we wait to hear what comes next.

Artist: Tenille Arts
Hometown: Weyburn, SK
Genre: Country
Related: Madeline Merlo, Alee, Kalie Shorr
Song: I Hate This
Notes: Set to become Tenille Arts’ first single to US country radio, I Hate This is a sweet song that shows off her country voice and legitimate sound. If this is the start of new music from Arts in a follow up to 2017’s Rebel Child, we’re here for it!
