Meguro are an indie rock duo based in Toronto, ON. To follow the success of their first single “Forgotten Song,” Meguro will be releasing “You Destroy Me,” an energetic song that grows in intensity. The song also includes a guest feature from Greg Alsop of Tokyo Police Club on gang vocals. 

The inspiration behind the song is the idea that being destroyed by someone can mean that you’re madly in love. “Someone once said to me that it wasn’t a good idea for us to date because ‘We would destroy each other,’ and I remember thinking ‘Well yeah, you destroy me, but that’s a GOOD thing!” said songwriter Bob MacKendrick. “I don’t think she thought of it in the same way though.”

Full Deck are a young band from Burlington and Oakville, Ontario. After releasing 2 EPs and a handful of singles, Full Deck are ready to make their mark on the Canadian music scene in 2022. Their newest single, “Get It Wrong” follows the success of the release of their single “Found Somebody to Love” in Jan 2022. 

“Get It Wrong” is about proving the dream killers wrong. The song was born out of a rebellious hope to see all those people eat their words and realize that it’s possible to make a career in music. Not that Full Deck expect to reach success without putting in the work – in fact, the more the haters expect them to fail, the more driven they are to get what they want.

“Achieving your goals and cultivating a life that you want requires effort,” said lyricist, Jesse Lang. “It won’t be handed to you.”

Raised in the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Ontario, in a family and community that surrounded her with music, noelle’s upbringing exposed her to a vast range of musical genres, from Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughan, to the pow wow drum and native wind flute from her Indigenous roots. Expressing her thoughts and emotions at her piano, coupled with a reality she sought to transcend, noelle began writing her own music as a therapeutic form of self-expression. 

Vulnerable new single, “Stupid,” was inspired by long distance relationships. Falling in love is such an amazing feeling, but it can fall apart when distance is involved. The artwork accompanies the song’s vibe – simple, raw, beautiful.

With an inherent and candid ability to break down the barrier between performer and audience while “leading the vanguard of East Coast hip hop” (Chronicle Herald), Classified is one of Canada’s most respected and successful rap artists and producers. 

An influential hip-hop artist in Canada with over 150 million streams globally, the multiple JUNO Award winner’s new single “digs into emotions [he] had when holding a grudge.” Classified expands, “I was coming from the perspective of how to forgive the people who do us wrong, but without having to forget it.”

Anzola is a Toronto-based, Venezuelan-born recording artist and multi-instrumentalist, whose loop-based neo-psychedelic music incorporates elements of instrumental hip-hop, electronic, jazz, and Latin music. 

Layered with different textures of nature sounds and percussion to add to the swing of the beat, “Impressions” invites listeners to take a moment to slow down and embrace elegance.

Bodega was inspired by a constant back and forth of high energy and exhaustion. “These songs are fragments of memories and moments of my own story, my own growth, my failures and my losses,” Anzola explains. “Like a bodega, this album can be small and tight but you get everything you need.”

Rising singer-songwriter and global citizen Eli Lev is making the world a smaller place, one song at a time. Eli pens lyrics and melodies for everyday enlightenment—songs that resonate because they’re heartfelt, earthy, and offer the wisdom he’s gained through lifelong travel and self-discovery.

Eli’s album, True North, and subsequent singles have earned critical praise from Paste Magazine, Buzzfeed, CBS Radio, AXS, and The Bluegrass Situation, and have received national folk radio support and placement on prominent Spotify playlists.

Psychedelic alt/indie masterminds the impliers are making strikingly original music for the future from the bones of the present. The songwriting and production duo of multi-instrumentalists Dan and Charles is currently emerging from the Denver underground, riding a sound wave crafted from oddly-tuned guitars, textured synths, electronic beats, pumping bass and complex Beach Boys level vocal harmonies.

Dan and Charles began making music together at age 15 and had an immediate impact on the underground indie scene that also produced Future Islands, Valiant Thorr, and Municipal Waste. By age 17, their songs earned placement on compilations alongside diverse popular acts such as Of Montreal, Fugazi, Jawbreaker, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Converge. Eventually, the duo embarked on their own creative paths into mastering self-production but remained connected through shared interests in art, mental health, and the unknown. Each contributes unique skills and artistry that  seamlessly interlocks with the other and allows their music to go from tight, vivid arrangements to raw, ethereal ambience and back again.
