The Hillside Music Festival is coming back to Guelph Lake! @hillsidefestival.bsky.social I’ve created a Playlist on Apple Music to showcase all the acts performing over the weekend July 17-19, including PIQSIQ, Stars, Angine de Poitrine, Cowboy Junkies AND MORE! music.apple.com/ca/playlist/...

Just after I went to press on Friday, I was made aware of a new song by Mike D. of the Beastie Boys. Switch Up marks a return to the microphone for the first time since the death of his bandmate MCA in 2012. It’s an energetic track with hyper bars from Michael Diamond. youtu.be/v0ZGfBWKQLk?...

The New Music I’m Listening To Archaically This Week, May 2 - 8, 2026: Including Black Milk, Juçara Marçal, Rosa Brunello, AND Otay:onii! newmusicjason.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/t...

My Feature Pick comes from a Berlin-based Chinese Artist. Lane Shi Otayonii is a film composer, and installation Artist who has performed with a handful of bands. Her solo work is as Otay:onii, and her newest album, Love Is In The Shit, is wild and beautiful. otayonii.bandcamp.com/album/love-i...

If you haven’t heard 2021’s Delta Estácio Blues by Juçara Marçal, I encourage you to check it out. Her new album is a collaboration with pianist Thais Nicodemo, and Dissemelhantes is delicate and warm, and Marçal’s voice is commanding. music.apple.com/ca/album/des...

Italian bassist and composer Rosa Brunello has amassed a top notch band for her seventh album, We Are Surging Waters. Horn players Yazz Ahmed and Tamar Osborn shine throughout the nine tracks that were recorded over three days last June. rosabrunello.bandcamp.com/album/we-are...

Detroit MC and Producer Black Milk is back. His new album, CEREMONIAL, is a smartly written head-nodder, with clever bars and fresh flow. blackmilk.bandcamp.com/album/ceremo...

The New Music I’m Listening To Ambidextrously This Week, April 25 - May 1, 2026: Including No Peeling, Lip Critic, KNEECAP AND MORE! newmusicjason.wordpress.com/2026/05/01/t...

My Feature Pick this week comes from an Artist out of Queens. Candace Lee Camacho is a musician that records and performs as duendita. Her fourth album, existential thottie, brings together R&B and Hip-Hop, with driving beats and pristine production. duendita.bandcamp.com/album/existe...

Belfast Hip-Hop group KNEECAP has been garnering controversy for their provocative live shows. Their full-throated endorsement for a #freepalestine has earned them boycotts. FENIAN sees the trio continuing their efforts, while expanding their sound palette. kneecap.bandcamp.com/album/fenian

IRKED is a four-piece from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England that has just dropped their debut album. The Grievance is fourteen tracks of edgy Punk. Vocalist Helen Walkinshaw careens between laser-sharp focus and reckless abandon. irked1.bandcamp.com/album/the-gr...

New York’s Lip Critic utilizes a unique band setup, with the quartet featuring 2 drummers, synths, samplers and vocals. The group has released their 3rd album. Theft World was inspired by a case of stolen identity, with breakbeats punctuating throughout. lipcritic.bandcamp.com/album/theft-...

MIT-The Male Idiot Theory is a trio from Belgium who’s debut LP made my Longlist for the 2022 New Music Jason Prize. They’ve finally released a follow-up, in the form of a 7-track EP. Fun and frolicking Garage Punk with energetic drums and churning guitars. discosperoquebien.bandcamp.com/album/ep

The Nottingham quintet No Peeling has been active for less than a year, and has already released two EPs. EP2 is seven energetic tracks, none more than two minutes, with insightful vocals from Sophie Diver. nopeeling.bandcamp.com/album/ep2-2

The New Music I’m Listening To Rapaciously This Week, April 18 - 24, 2026: Including Bel Cobain, Cadence Weapon, TV Star, Miss Grit AND Urq! newmusicjason.wordpress.com/2026/04/24/t...

My Feature Pick comes from an Artist based in New Orleans. Spencer Urquhart is better known by Urq, and is one-half of the duo SPLLIT, who I have previously recommended. On This Dismal Village, he uses a unique guitar tuning for a progressive and mathy feel. urqurq.bandcamp.com/album/this-d...

Brooklyn’s Margaret Sohn has been recording and performing as Miss Grit since 2019. Their latest album, Under My Umbrella, takes their Electronic arsenal through a subdued landscape. Sohn’s voice is mesmerizing. missgrit.bandcamp.com/album/under-...

TV Star is a quintet out of the Seattle-Tacoma area. Active since 2021, they have just released their debut album. Music For Heads is jangly and loose, with vocals from Ashlyn Nagel that summon comparisons to Delores O’Riordan of The Cranberries. tvstar.bandcamp.com/album/music-...

Rollie Pemberton is better known as Cadence Weapon. The Edmonton-born rapper was named the city’s Poet Laureate in 2009, and has since relocated to Hamilton, Ontario. His seventh album, Forager, features a live band, and it is produced by Junia-T. cadenceweapon.bandcamp.com/album/forager

London R&B Singer-Songwriter Bel Cobain has been releasing singles since 2018, and has just dropped a six-song EP. On Kizzy, Cobain’s smoky and expressive voice shines throughout, amidst pensive production. belcobain.bandcamp.com/album/kizzy

What's the most 90's song of all time? Lump - Presidents Of The United States of America

What are you listening to this week?

What are you listening to this week?

My Feature Pick is a DIY Artist from Columbus, Ohio. Winston Hightower has been working for Hardcore bands, while home recording dozens of songs. His 2nd album, 100 Acre Wood, is quaint songwriting with a loose and effortless lo-fi aesthetic. winstonhightower.bandcamp.com/album/100-ac...

Choncy is a four-piece that is spread out between Cincinnati and Brooklyn. Their third album, Trademark, is bouncy and angular Punk, with an eccentric and experimental title track. choncy.bandcamp.com/album/tradem...

Otoboke Beaver’s last album was 2022. and have been touring non-stop since, while opening for Green Day & Foo Fighters. The frantic Punk quartet’s new 3-song EP, Is The New Album Out Yet?, lets us know they know it’s been too long. music.otobokebeaver.com/album/is-the...

2 legendary Music makers converged to release a single this week. TripHop pioneers Massive Attack tapped iconic Poet & troubadour Tom Waits to create an elegy for the condition of the modern US soldier. Boots On The Ground is thought-provoking and justifiably profane. youtu.be/L-57FrioeuE?...

It’s mine too!
