Vancouver Indie Folk-Rock Trio Myles from Home Share New Single YOU'RE GONNA GO FAR

Stream/Share HERE

Vancouver indie folk-rock group Myles from Home return with their moving new single “You’re Gonna Go Far,” out now on all digital streaming platforms. Rooted in memory, gratitude, and the electric rush of childhood possibility, the emotionally charged track marks the band’s third release of the year, following September’s reflective single “I Remember” and February’s groove-driven “Almost Everything”.

Anchored by frontman Myles Hildebrand’s warm vocals and the band’s signature fusion of folk-rock, funk, and jazz-tinged textures, “You’re Gonna Go Far” shines as one of their most personal songs to date. Both intimate and expansive, the track swells with nostalgic warmth while pulsing with the trio’s trademark rhythmic inventiveness.

“This song is about my Dad, and a moment from my childhood that I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” says Hildebrand. “It’s about feeling like you have the world at your feet. This moment kept coming back up, and since my Dad is my number one fan, I felt very inspired to turn the memory of that moment into a song. Every time we play it live, I’m emotional and the crowd is too.”

Known for genre-defying songwriting and immersive, high-energy performances, Myles from Home has carved out a dedicated following across Canada and beyond. Critics have praised their eclectic sound and inventive approach: Honk Magazine spotlighted their “refusal to stick to one genre,” while Lost in the Manor (UK) described their productions as “quirky, funny, and filled with clean electric guitars that impress with their ability to fill the room with sound.” Their singles have earned attention from dozens of international outlets, with reviewers calling their music “playful, uplifting and relatable,” “quietly confident,” and “an introspective yet euphoric slice of indie rock.”

With nearly 50 shows under their belt, and over 140K streams across platforms, the trio has built a reputation for pushing indie music into unexpected spaces – from Mario Kart–style video shoots to canoe performances at Kits Beach. As Do604 wrote following their hometown album celebration: “It wasn’t just a concert; it was a celebration of community, artistry, and the joy of sharing music together.”

“You’re Gonna Go Far” is the latest step in a year of creative momentum for the band as they continue shaping what modern Canadian indie can sound like: tender, adventurous, deeply human, and unafraid to experiment with sound – fusing genres in ways that feel both fresh and familiar.

"You're Gonna Go Far" is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For tour dates and more information, please visit mylesfromhome.com.

Ontario Duo Asthma Kids Release New Single + Video CRUMBS AND MORSELS

Watch/Share Video HERE

The revolution is here! Ontario genre-agnostic duo Asthma Kids return with their explosive new single "Crumbs and Morsels (The Meek Are Getting Ready Pt IV)," out now alongside the dystopian, visually arresting video from director Lisa Battocchio. The track is the latest preview of their upcoming EP The Meek Are Getting Ready, out December 1 via Dammit Distribution (EU/UK) and 2 Bar Town Records (North America).

Recorded in just three hours at The Reverie Recording Studio (Cavan-Monahagn, ON), “Crumbs and Morsels (...Pt IV)” captures the band at their most urgent and unfiltered. The track was mastered by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios in London – a full-circle moment that frontman Trevor Hutchinson calls “a bucket-list thing.”

Built on a raw, propulsive energy, the song is an unvarnished critique of wealth inequality, class division, and “the psychopathic imbalance of power” embedded in late-stage capitalism.

“The powers that be, the billionaires and their multi-millionaire minions, designed this whole thing,” says Hutchinson. “It’s in the uber-elite’s interest for us to fight each other, and they enjoy watching it. That type of grotesque wealth and all the human misery it creates can only be described as psychopathic. ‘Crumbs and Morsels’ is me trying to explore that… while reminding myself that the revolution will still encourage dancing.”

The accompanying music video marks Asthma Kids’ second collaboration with Battocchio, who previously directed their video for "Die On This Hill (...Pt II)," which is nearing 85K YouTube views. Bringing her background in international film – originally from Italy, trained in China, now based in Canada – Battocchio creates a vivid, cinematic world that heightens both the urgency of the song and its rallying cry for unity. Featuring performer Lorenza Tessaro and filmed on the streets of downtown Toronto, the video embraces a raw, punk aesthetic: run-and-gun shots, hand-built masks, and a small but fearless crew bringing its chaotic vision to life.

“I look at videos as getting my song to be the soundtrack of someone else’s movie,” Hutchinson explains. “But what she did was magical. Her sense of lighting and mood is unreal. I’m so lucky I got to work with her.”

Based in Lindsay, ON, and formed by Hutchinson (Big Eddy, Trailer Park 5, Pardon Beggars) and JP Gill, Asthma Kids operate entirely outside genre lines – or as they put it, they’re “genre-atheists.”

“We leave labels for soup cans,” Hutchinson jokes. “We want three chords and the truth. Punk, freak-country, confessional post-pop... whatever. I need more diversity, not less, in music and in the world.”

Their catalogue ranges from alien-themed alt-country to angry power-pop to punchy punk-leaning missives. Their comedy track "Alien Love" has close to 50K YouTube views, and they’ve twice been semi-finalists in the International Songwriting Competition – in both the Americana and Comedy categories.

"Crumbs and Morsels (...Pt IV)" shows Asthma Kids at full force, turning music into message, message into movement. It’s their ethos sharpened into one point: a manifesto meant to rally, provoke, and pull people into the revolution.

Asthma Kids will host a video release and pre-launch listening party for the new video and upcoming EP on November 22 at LOLA in Toronto. Get full details here.

"Crumbs and Morsels (...Pt IV)" is available now on digital streaming platforms worldwide. For more information, please visit asthmakidsband.com.

Toronto's 5 Neat Guys Ring In The Holidays With New Album PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!

Stream/Share "Silent Night" HERE

Toronto-based blues/rock band 5 Neat Guys are turning up the festive spirit with the release of their brand-new holiday album PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! available now on all digital streaming platforms. The band is also celebrating the launch with a feature single, a riotous, vintage-flavoured rendition of the holiday standard "Silent Night".

"Don’t be fooled by the name: there’s nothing silent about this version of the Christmas classic," says rhythm guitarist Doug Hibovski. "We gave it a vintage rock-n-roll feel, but you can still sing along to it. Sheer fun, tailor-made for a rockin’ Christmas party."

PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! marks the band’s fifth studio album and their second Christmas release, rounding out nearly a year of recording that began with drum sessions in November 2024 and wrapped on a warm August evening with the final backing vocals. To give the album its unmistakable holiday atmosphere, the band even hauled a full set of tubular bells into the studio – one of many touches that infuse the record with charm and festive nostalgia.

"We really wanted to give something for everyone in this album," says lead vocalist Ed Lounsbury. “Some blues, some pop/rock, some sentimental heartstring-tuggers, and then some traditional Christmas chestnuts that we put a fresh new spin on. This album is good clean fun, and we pictured families decorating the Christmas tree, dancing around and playing this in the background.”

The idea for the album was sparked a few years ago, when the band performed a pre-Christmas gig with only a handful of seasonal songs in their set. They filled the gaps with their usual rock and blues repertoire, until an event organizer slipped them a note that read, with unmistakable urgency: “PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!” The phrase became an instant inside joke, then a rallying cry, and finally the perfect title for their second holiday record. And as always with 5 Neat Guys, humour finds its way into the music itself: on "Unwrap You At Christmas," an improvised mouth-trumpet solo – intended as a simple placeholder – made the final cut because it sounded so hilariously perfect.

Formed in 2016 by guitarist Doug Hibovski, 5 Neat Guys began as a temporary project bringing together four adult students from Hibovski’s Toronto music school. Something clicked, and what started as a one-off experiment evolved into a beloved bar band known for their classic vintage blues and rock ’n’ roll sound, high-energy performances, and good-humoured approach to music-making. Over the years, they’ve become fixtures at local festivals, community street parties, and pubs, earning a loyal following and radio support on both local and online stations. With every release, the group has sharpened its style and production – and with PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!, they deliver their most spirited, family-friendly collection yet.

PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit 5neatguys.com.

Victoria Raskin Brings A Bold, Multi-Sensory Pop Experience To Granville Island November 20th

**Vancouver artist presents Victoria Raskin Live, a dazzling self-produced show fusing music, dance, and storytelling**

Vancouver singer, songwriter, and performer Victoria Raskin will bring her ambitious new production Victoria Raskin Live to Performance Works on Granville Island on Thursday, November 20, 2025. Doors open at 6:30 PM, show starts at 7 PM. Tickets are available for purchase here.

An evening of music, dance, theatre, and immersive storytelling, Victoria Raskin Live is set to be a one-of-a-kind experience in Vancouver’s independent music scene – a spectacle that pushes the boundary between concert and performance art. A true labour of love, the show was made possible through generous support from the Armenian Cultural Association of BC and a network of friends and family who rallied behind Raskin’s vision. In that same spirit of community, partial proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR).

“I’ve been dreaming about, planning, and fundraising for this show for the past two years,” says Raskin. “It’s a huge professional milestone to take the jump independently to create the kind of show that I want to see, give my art a platform to shine, and bring together the dance, theatre, and music worlds all in one night. Little me would be so proud.”

Far from a traditional concert,Victoria Raskin Livepromises a dynamic, genre-blending experience. Expect hidden dancers in the audience, choreographed sequences, Swarovski-covered costumes, cabaret chairs, and see-through umbrellas glowing with fairy lights – all wrapped in a narrative designed to pull audiences into Raskin’s world. The show will also feature six dancers choreographed byMalia McMullen(known for her work in film and television, includingWorld of Dance), and a live band featuring Tim Charman (bass), Chris Sallis-Lyon (drums), Nathan Barrett (trumpet / sousaphone) and Cole Tinney (keyboard).

“Most indie artists don’t attempt a show of this scale early in their careers,” Raskin adds. “A multi-media, multidisciplinary production is expensive, time-consuming, and logistically intense, especially when you’re self-producing. I’ve had to wear every hat imaginable in planning it, but at the end of the day, that’s what makes stepping on stage so rewarding. Knowing every detail was built from the ground up.”

Raskin cites two major inspirations for the show: her mother – an opera singer who first gave her the chance to test early versions of the performance concept onstage – and a transformative trip to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where she attended Sophie’s Surprise 29th, a daring circus-theatre piece that left her awestruck.

“It was bold, funny, and intimate – you could feel the heat of the fire from your seat,” Raskin recalls. “That experience inspired me to create something equally alive and personal here in Vancouver. I wanted to stage a night that feels close, surprising, and unforgettable.”

The show will coincide with the release of Raskin’s new single "New Girl", out November 19, the night before the performance, and will make its live debut at the show. The new track follows her recent single “Rise", which showcased her cinematic pop sound and expressive storytelling.

Toronto's 5 Neat Guys Share Holiday Single UNWRAP YOU AT CHRISTMAS

**First Single From Forthcoming Album PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! Out November 7th Stream/Share HERE**

Toronto-based blues and rock outfit 5 Neat Guys are getting into the festive spirit with the release of their cheeky new single “Unwrap You At Christmas”, out now on all digital streaming platforms.

The upbeat, vintage-inspired track offers a playful spin on the holiday genre, serving as the first taste of their upcoming album PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!, set for release on November 7th, 2025.

“Okay, so… maybe this song has a coy little double entendre aspect to it," says lead vocalist Ed Lounsbury. "On the other hand, maybe it’s just about a kid unwrapping a puppy on Christmas morning, right? We’ll let you decide."

The inspiration for PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! came a few years ago when the band was booked to perform just before Christmas. With only a handful of seasonal songs in their set, they filled the gaps with their usual rock and blues repertoire – until the event organizer passed them a note that read, in no uncertain terms: “Play Christmas Music!!” The phrase stuck, eventually becoming the name of their fifth studio album and second holiday collection.

One of the album’s standout moments is the mid-song solo on “Unwrap You At Christmas.” Originally intended as a placeholder, the band’s ad-libbed mouth-trumpet part was so perfectly goofy that it made the final cut.

“It just sounded so nutbar – it fit perfectly with the song,” Ed laughs.

Formed in 2016 by Doug Hibovski, 5 Neat Guys began as a one-off project bringing together four adult music students from Hibovski’s music school. But something clicked, and what started as a temporary band evolved into a beloved fixture at Toronto’s local festivals, street parties, and pubs. Known for their classic vintage blues and rock ‘n roll sound, the group has released four studio albums, each one refining their style and production.

With airplay on local and internet radio, and a growing reputation for their high-energy performances, 5 Neat Guys are ready to make your holidays a little merrier (and a lot more rockin’) with PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!.

"Unwrap You At Christmas" is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit 5neatguys.com.
