Dream Pop Trio Night Tapes Drops Debut Album
Following a number of impressive EPs, British trio Night Tapes secured a signing with Nettwerk Music Group and recently dropped debut album portals//polarities. The disc, a strong contender for the best of 2025, gets top marks from Canadian Music Blog not only for a "no skip tracks" quality of compositions but also for originality. Singer Iiris Vesik joins Max Doohan and Sam Richards in weaving dense textures of nocturnal silhouettes and neon ambiance.

Ticketmaster’s Quiet Move Away From Physical Tickets Puts Concert Goers at Risk
Ticketmaster is moving away from physical tickets towards digital mobile tickets only. This means that concert-goers are now faced with a number of problems. Beyond the loss of souvenir keepsakes that physical tickets provide, mobile tickets presume attendees own a cell phone, will have access to the internet when at the venue, and have a version of operating system compatible with its app.

Rochelle Jordan is Through the Wall
A couple of weeks ago, the stars, for a brief moment, began smiling at this pale blue dot we call Earth. We sent our best man out to investigate. It turns out that Rochelle Jordan released a new album, Through the Wall, and the heavens were grateful for it. Here we have what the RJ is known for: deep electronic house textures and rich, dizzying atmospherics.

Coeur de pirate delivers 2025’s best album
Canadian platinum recording artist Coeur de pirate (Béatrice Martin) recently dropped her latest album Cavale (Escape) with synthpop soundscapes as breathtaking as views from the Tunnel Bluffs. Jammed with energy and vigour, this 10-track masterpiece easily captures the prize of 2025's best album to date. Reminiscent of the 80s, Cavale benefits from both delicious songwriting and slick production; it grabs your heart and never lets go.

What Does “Buy Canadian” Mean When It Comes to Music?
"Since it is logical to conclude you will impose tariffs in any event, we choose not to cooperate." The above would have been an interesting statement made by Canadian officials. Instead, the planned DST and many counter tariffs were dropped with sketchy reasoning. The issues at stake here are as wide as the Mackenzie River. But let's begin the conversation.

Gary Numan Releases an Expanded Edition of Berserker
In 1984, much of Canada had forgotten about Gary Numan. This, despite his having authored the 5th biggest song of 1980, which essentially invented "80s music". It had been four years since his monumental performance on Canadian-created variety show Saturday Night Live, and four years since the old guard at Canadian radio closed the airplay doors to any followup hits Numan chalked up on the eastern Atlantic (that would be 11 Top 40s between "Cars" and the…
