Windsor Rockers The Silence Factory Premiere Brand New Video

Watch Exclusive Premiere of 'High' on Live in Limbo

Toronto, ON - Windsor rockers The Silence Factory are excited to announce the release of the video for their latest single 'High' with an Exclusive Premiere today on Live in Limbo. The Silence Factory will also be touring in support of their new music, and have select tour dates in February and March with a full Cross-Canada Tour throughout April and May, to be announced soon. See below for the latest tour listings.

The Silence Factory’s new track ‘High’ was produced by Juno award winning and Grammy nominated producer Gavin Brown (3 Days Grace, Billy Talent) and is the second single from a new EP that will be released later this year. The song is currently going for adds at Canadian Rock Radio and is already getting spins 97.7 Hits FM, FM 96, The Fox 105.3,  Rock 106.7, The Wolf 104.9 and more! The first single from their upcoming EP release, a cover of Harvey Danger’s ‘Flagpole Sitta’, gained considerable spins at radio last year, charting at #51 on the Canadian active rock charts. 

The video for ‘High’ was directed by Jendo Shabo from Moonjump Productions and in keeping with the lyrics of the song, the video has a dark, moody vibe. 

“The story is a bit dark, but basically it’s about a guy who feels guilty about the death of his girlfriend – even though it’s absolutely not his fault," says frontman Nathan McNevin. “The video tries to capture that feeling that people have when bad stuff happens and they think they are to blame. But, in the end, the idea is that the girl comes back and tries to pull the guy into the road to get hit by a car and he realizes it at the last minute and pulls away. So, even though it’s dark it ends on a positive note. The guy finally realizes it’s not his fault so he can just be sad about the loss, but not blame himself.”

The Silence Factory formed in 2015 (as Nathan McNevin and The Silence Factory) and have been playing shows across Canada ever since.The band spent a great deal of time on the road in 2016, playing over 50 shows, all across the country. And they plan to spend 2017 doing the same thing. They recently opened up for USS at St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit and will be announcing a Cross-Canada Tour soon. 

The Silence Factory's debut CD, Collection of Thoughts, was released in February 2016 launching their first commercial radio single 'Land'. In June 2016, the band took first place in 97.7 HTZ FM's Rocksearch competition which has launched the careers of many notable acts including Finger Eleven, The Trews, and The Glorious Sons. 

High' is currently available on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services. For more info and the most up-to-date tour listings, please visit: thesilencefactory.com

Every Last Chance Kick Off 2017 With Brand New Single

STREAM/POST Every Last Chance - 'All For Love'

Toronto, ON - With 2 radio hits already under their belt, Toronto-based studio project Every Last Chance is hoping for lucky number 3 with new track 'All For Love', going for radio adds now at Canadian HOT A/C Radio. 'All For Love' is the latest single from Every Last Chance's self-titled debut EP, released in August 2016 through Marquis Label Services. 

Every Last Chance is a Canadian project formed by a passion for rhythmic-leaning pop music. The name Every Last Chance derives from the exact moment when greatness occurs. When your back is against the wall and you realize that the only path is forward, forcing you to draw inspiration from that place deep inside that unlocks your full potential.

The debut single from Every Last Chance - 'Spotlight' f/ Marissa Dattoli - peaked at #65 on the Mediabase CHR chart with CHR Radio in Canada. The follow up single - 'Roll The Credits' f/ David Spekter - surpassed the first effort, peaking at #27 A/C and #39 Hot AC. To date, ELC has amassed more than 400,000 Spotify plays (and counting) and their debut EP was included on Music Canada's Top 10 EPs of 2016.

Like Every Last Chance's previous single 'Roll The Credits', 'All For Love' is a song about relationships. This one talks about the uncertainty that exists at the beginning of a relationship, when you're always trying to make the right move and can't quite help yourself. 

'All For Love' is about just giving in and going for it with love. Sometimes it's better to just give into what you're feeling instead of overthinking it.

Vancouver's Real Ponchos Release New Album on February 10th >> Release Show @ Wise Hall

Listen To First Single >>'No Show':

Vancouver, BC - Vancouver-based country rockers the Real Ponchos are independently releasing their sophomore full-length album To The Dusty World on February 10th and the band will celebrate the release of the album with a rip roarin' hometown show at Wise Hall on release day. See below for full show details. 

Real Ponchos’ music is subtle, yet revelatory. Deep grooves buoyed by rugged vocals and burning guitar. Songs inspired by human suffering with a folk sentiment at the core that opens the heart wide with luscious and spacious improvisation, while keeping feet on the floor with tight, soulful rhythm. The band - Ben Arsenault (lead vocals/guitar), Emile Scott (lead vocals/guitar), Emlyn Scherk (drums) and Michael Wagler (bass) - works in the lineage established by those before them, following those who have taken folk traditions into the modern age. And with 2 different lead vocalists, the Real Ponchos are able to embrace non-duality to create sincere and distinctive music that draws many different musical comparisons. 

"The most common comparisons we get after shows are probably the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers," says Ben Arsenault. "We try to take that classic live sound and couch it in more modern tones, with a spaciousness and rhythm that comes from jazz, Brazilian and African influences."

Real Ponchos released their debut, a self-titled EP, in 2013. They followed that up a year later with their first full length, Since I Let You Go, which received warm reviews from music critics across the country and earned the band a place amongst The Georgia Straight’s Top 10 Vancouver Bands of 2014.  

To The Dusty World was recorded at Vancouver's Afterlife Studios in late 2015 by John Raham. The decision to record the new album was instigated in part by drummer Emlyn Scherk’s relocation to Scotland. The band felt they needed to get in the studio to record the material they'd been working on over the past couple of years, before he left the country. The record is, in many ways, a continuation of the sound the band developed and captured with the previous release Since I Let You Go. Whereas that release focused on matters of the heart and loss, To The Dusty World is more inwardly focused on the self and that is especially evident on the first single 'No Show'.

"'No Show' is a transition song," Arsenault explains.  "It's about seeing the aimless path of your self-centered life, and longing for something more solid."

To The Dusty World will be available on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers/streaming services on Friday, February 10th. Real Ponchos have plans to tour throughout Canada later this year, for more info and the most up to date tour listings, please visit: realponchos.com

The Red Cannons Set To Release Brand New EP On January 27th

Stream The First Single 'Always Something':

Edmonton, AB -  Alberta rock group on the rise, The Red Cannons, are releasing their 2nd EP Always Something on January 27th and are celebrating with an Edmonton Release Show at The Rec Room on January 28th. The first single, title track 'Always Something', is going for adds now at Canadian Active Rock Radio.

The Red Cannons is a collaboration between three multi-talented brothers - Evan, Braden and Landon Boechler - from Stony Plain, AB and their long-time friend Jen Perry, from the neighbouring community of Spruce Grove. Since starting out in early 2012, the band's become a rising force in their local music scene and across Canada. In September 2012, they released their debut EP Underneath The Floorboards which garnered 2 singles ‘Underneath the Floorboards’ and ‘Sheepdog’. Both singles received plenty of airplay on numerous radio stations across Canada and The Red Cannons supported their commercial radio exposure with multiple festival performances, sharing the stage with: The Glorious Sons, One Bad Son, The Tea Party, and many more. 

The group kept the momentum going over the next few years and quickly became known for a style reflecting strong blues-rock roots, often striking comparisons to groups like The Black Keys, The White Stripes and The Glorious Sons. They were catapulted into the spotlight with a feature in Classic Rock Magazine in the UK in 2013, and were nominated for Group of the Year and Rock Recording of the Year at the 2014 and 2015 Edmonton Music Awards.

And now with the release of their new EP Always Something on January 27th, it looks like the best is yet to come for The Red Cannons. The group will be looking at performing at select music industry conferences across North America in 2017, along with many Festival bookings and they currently have a Canadian tour in the works.  

"We are all about building momentum, embracing our fan base and relentlessly performing," said lead vocalist Evan Boecher. "We're willing to do whatever it takes, so we plan to spend much of 2017 on the road playing shows."

The Red Cannons' new EP Always Something will be available on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers/streaming services on Friday, January 27th. For more info and the most up to date tour listings, please visit: www.redcannons.com

JP Maurice Set To Release New EP Girls On January 13th

Listen to JP Maurice >> 'Shapeshifter' 

"Sassy, Pop, and Soulful are his lyrics. Mischievous,Thoughtful & Charismatic define
his personality.”  - Fresh Independence

"When you combine hip musicality with heartfelt lyrics, you can't help but write songs that people will be singing all day and listening to over and over again.” - The Cardinal Press

After dealing with some adversity in his life over the last few years, Vancouver musician/producer JP Maurice is working towards a prosperous 2017 with the release of some brand new music! JP Maurice is set to independently release his new EP Girls on January 13th and will celebrate with a release party at The Biltmore Cabaret on January 14th. Click here to listen to the first single 'Shapeshifter'.

After touring across Canada and Europe, and then taking home 2nd place in the PEAK Performance Project radio contest in 2015, a loss in the family turned Maurice mostly inwards and he focused on channeling his emotions into his art. He made the decision to invest in his own studio (Blue Light Studio), which allowed for late night collaborations, producing other artists, and creating endless song ideas. The result is the Girls EP, which sweeps from cinematic pop-noir into slinky neo-soul, all tied together with Maurice’s powerfully emotive vocals. It’s a modern sound that capture timeless sentiments – love, loss, and the twists and turns in between.

The Girls EP is the follow up to JP Maurice's 2013 full-length album The Arborist, which marked his official debut as a solo artist after getting caught in major label red tape with his previous band that went simply by Maurice. The EP features a number of collaborators including producers Russell Broom and Ted Gowans, and it continues where The Arborist left off taking the listener straight back into sexy pop-noir territory.

"I do think I have settled or delved into that sound more," said JP Maurice. "But Girls also sees me sounding a little more optimistic with a song like 'Go' or rockier with 'Goodbye'. The songs were all mostly written or built using the piano as the fundamental instrument which differs from the past when I was using the guitar in that way. There is very little electric guitar on Girls."

JP Maurice will play a handful of BC tour dates and release the video for 'Shapeshifter' in the upcoming weeks. He plans to release his 2nd full length album entitled Boys later this year. The Girls EP will be available on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers/streaming services on Friday, January 13th.
