By: Gemma Mastroianni Toronto-based rock band Numb Tongues have dropped a funky new track today titled ‘Automatically.’ Their sound is influenced by hit bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Maroon 5, Audioslave, and The Police, evident in this funky-rock track. This catchy track has the grooviest vibe, with an edgy electric guitar featured in the chorus. The Wah-wah effects featured throughout the song add a 70’s-esque flavour to the song, adding to the vintage atmosphere the song entails. The guitar solo towards the end of the song sounds as though it has a hint of Tame Impala influence and was definitely an unexpected and exciting way to end this upbeat track. The band is known for their creative and dynamic songwriting abilities, which is very much present in this track. It was written in the first couple of months in the pandemic with zero expectations of where we would end up as a society. Singer Jonah Grinberg was experimenting with some loops and was also angry at a former friend of his, and put his energy towards creating this song, “For me, it’s a timestamp of when COVID started, because before we would’ve waited to book a studio to record a full kit, but now there’s an experimental pop element we wouldn’t have had otherwise.” – Jonah Gringberg Gringerbeg sent the demo to the other members in hopes that they would like the song. Tristan (guitar), Max (bass), and Corey (drums) liked it and recorded their parts from home. The band finished all components and sent it to their producer Matt [Snell] before they had ever jammed it together in the same room for the first time. Listen to Automatically here.

By: Gemma Mastroianni Bonfires are one of my favourite summer activities. There is something so blissful about gathering around a fire with your closest friends and family and enjoying the calmness of nature, good music, and making memories that will last a lifetime. If you are also into campfires, you need to check out these essentials listed below that will elevate your experience: 1.) A moderately loud Bluetooth speaker Some good music can be the exact edition you need to go with your night. If you don’t own a Bluetooth speaker, you don’t need to spend a ton of money on one because it really only needs to be at a somewhat decent volume for a few reasons: – If it’s too loud you can’t enjoy the fire crackling and sounds of nature – You want to still be able to hear the conversation around you – It will likely be later at night that you’re having the fire and won’t want to risk disrupting neighbours. I use the Marley Get Together speaker which lasts up to eight hours.e 2.) Rome’s Marshmallow Tree Fork I found this amazing tool when I was glamping last year at Whispering Springs. It’s shaped like a tree branch and can roast up to ten marshmallows at a time! I’ve had it for over a year and it’s still in great shape. Grab yours here. 3.) Celebration Cookies These are an amazing life hack because these include both the chocolate AND the cracker! All you need to buy is marshmallows because you get two in one with these, and they are delicious. Pick them up at your local grocery or convenience store. 4.) This Playlist The ideal mixture of oldies and new songs complements a calm atmosphere and sense of togetherness. 5.) City Bonfires Living in the city? No problem – City Campfires can make all of your dreams come true! This portable fire tin is perfect for park dates, balconies, and small backyard hangs. It’s easy to light, extinguish, and store. Place it on a hard surface like a brick or stone, light it, and you’re good to go. All you need to do is cover the lit to put out the fire. Let it cool, then place it wherever you’d like. Grab yours here. 6.) Blissed Chocolate Truffles These chocolate truffles from Blissed are ganache-filled dark chocolate and a smoke-free way to enjoy cannabis around the fire. Each piece has 5 mg of THC and 5 mg of CBD creating the ultimate feeling of relaxation. They are also fair trade!

By: Gemma Mastroianni Brendan Distefano, also known as QUIETLOVE, has shared his second single to date called ‘No Feelings’ – a summer BOP. The bass is lowkey creating a laid-back vibe with a catchy synth layered over-top which stays consistent through the track. Vocals are clean and smooth and mostly monotone but compliment the chill summer vibe of this track. Thematically the song covers the ‘inner struggle between head and heart,’ “At some point, you’ve gotta decide what’s best for you, even if it hurts like hell”. – Brendan Distefano Distefano wrote and produced this song all on his own, with mixing done by by Jack Emblem [Daniel Caesar, Jesse Gold, Devan] and mastered by multi-platinum engineer, Dan Weston [Shad, Classified, Tribe Called Red]. You should also check out the one-shot music video below: The video is complementary to the chill summer theme of this song and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality and videography captured here. Although the video is only in one location, the angles and continuous shots make it impressive. Pre-pandemic, you could find Brendan performing at venues of all sizes throughout North America with popular acts such as Tyler Shaw, Virginia to Vegas, Honors (ex-Down With Webster), Tom Cochrane, Tokyo Police Club, The Strumbellas, Maestro Fresh Wes, Neon Dreams, Ryan Beatty, and many more.

By: Gemma Mastroianni Saint Idiot is a Slovak-Canadian musician currently based in Edmonton, Canada. If you like Flume, Björk, or Perfume Genius, then you’ll love “Warp & Weft.” The vibey track is a brand new single off of his upcoming art-pop album. I was intrigued not only by the textured synths in the song but the impressive visual component. Turns out that Saint Idiot is a well-rounded artist as he not only makes music but is a sound designer and multimedia artist! It’s always so interesting to see what artists who are multi-faceted can come up with. Saint Idiot makes music inspired by futuristic ideas and the multi-sensory worlds of Björk, Bowie, as well as deep listening, ambient music, greenscreens, and flora. “Warp and Weft” was very much inspired by the idea of a ‘really sexy love song’ but targeted at a friendship, “Warp & Weft is about recognizing that we need a whole ecosystem of friends, and we need to nurture those friendships as fully and devotedly as we nurture our romantic relationships. It’s about taking your intimate and emotional needs and distributing them openly and with care among a network of close friends.” – Saint idiot I was personally fascinated by the lyrical themes of this song and how deeply it dives into the concept of friendship and how it affects our aura. It is also refreshing to hear such a raw song about friendship when so many songs are about romantic relationships. The lyricism came to be from conversations he had with a variety of his close friends. They have also gone through many iterations in the same way that his understanding of friendship has gone through many iterations while writing this album, “If your friend is sick and hurting, you are, to an extent, sick and hurting also. Warp & Weft is about practicing this presence. Be balm for your friend.” – Saint Idiot He composed, wrote, and produced this track out of an attic bedroom studio, featuring Alex Tanayschuk on the saxophone. It was mixed by Hill Kourkoutis, and mastered by Kristian Montano of Montano Mastering. The speaking component at the end of the track was done by his good friend Laura La France, in the context of a locally in-progress documentary film exploring masculinity, which is also a major theme of the upcoming album, Alternate Utopias from a Nostalgic Future, out September 8th 2021. More samples from that documentary will be featured in the upcoming album. If you like Flume or Four Tet, you will LOVE this video. Check it out below: Set your reminders for his album release in September, and be sure to give him a follow.

By: DJ Waves Any time that multiple interests of mine intersect, I’m extremely happy. So what better record to spotlight for Vinyl Feature Friday than one of my favourite compilations? Take 1 part camp style, 1 part rock n’ roll swagger, and a whole lotta sleaze. Wrap it up in comic book art design and you’ve got LAS VEGAS GRIND VOLUME FOUR. Originally released on the aptly named Strip Records in 1988, this is the fourth installment in a long-running collection of music that essentially gave birth to the retro-burlesque movement. The album features songs from the ’50s and 60’s that were played by the house bands in Las Vegas strip clubs; think raunchy, hip-shakin’, cocktail slingin’ tunes from bands with names like The Playboys, or Willie Wright & His Sparklers. The songs are sax(ophone) and sex laden with gritty guitars and Gene Krupa-style drum fills. Visually, the Las Vegas Grind compilations are always titillating. Vintage photos of topless burlesque dancers often grace the jackets of these records. What’s special about Volume Four, however, is the artwork collaboration done with famous cartoonist, Daniel Clowes for the gatefold re-press. Clowes emerged in the late ’80s as a graphic novel cartoonist best known for Eightball and Ghost World; the latter of which he turned into the cult classic movie of the same name. Clowes’ work is known for being a little oddball so it’s a perfect match for the zany sound of the compilation. The combination of cartoon artwork and song titles such as “Buzzsaw Twist” and “Sweet Little Pussycat” was a big part of what drew me to this record initially. Upon first glance, it’s captivating—you want to tear off the record sleeve and dive in, much as you would excitedly bury your nose in a fresh comic book. The musicians are long forgotten never-knowns, but that makes the compilation all that more intriguing. The Strip Records label was a sub-label to CRYPT RECORDS, which was known for its popular garage and punk compilations Back From The Grave. As a record collector, I always love rounding out my collection by buying things on labels I love, even if I’ve never heard of the album/artist. Such was the case with the LAS VEGAS GRIND compilations; I trusted the CRYPT RECORDS releases so I figured I’d be a fan of these as well. The record ended up being a great way to get introduced to the sound of the vintage club scene. Some of the songs even have voice clips of club announcers introducing the dancers. Preferably listening to music on vinyl is already an interactive experience, but when you play this record you really feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. You’re lounging in the corner of a Las Vegas bar with a martini in hand, cigarette smoke billowing, red lights flanking the stage before you, and the rumble of raunchy rock n’ roll infecting your eardrums as tassels and sequins dance before your eyes. That’s the magic of a good record. Follow DJ Waves on Instagram.

Toronto-based multi-talented artist Downwiththemob has dropped a brand new EP today titled “Cancel Culture” featuring the heavy bass track, “Jump.” The ever-evolving artist is a songwriter, singer, rapper, and producer. He began making music from a young age for fun with his friends on the school bus without understanding how serious he would take it one day. Now he has defined his sound through ambient sounding vocals and heavy pulsating beats. “Jump” starts off with thick bass plucking, accompanied by ambient inspired vocals leading to the thrilling build-up to the chorus, coming shortly after he whispers “jump.” The pulsating beats in the chorus are almost a modern-sounding and “cooler” version of something Skrillex inspired. It’s definitely less “noisy” and oversaturated with effects and allows you to take in the bass and appreciate every sound on this track. The track was produced by him and his team on all tracks including beats, melodies, lyrics, mixing and mastering. His team owns a studio in Scarborough where it all comes together from scratch. DWTM’s lyrics are inspired by both positive and negative experiences in his life. He is very passionate about music as an outlet to express himself and have fans relate back to it. Be sure to check out the EP in full and stay tuned for what is next! Follow DWTM on Instagram.

By: Gemma Mastroianni Brooklyn-based Indie-Pop artist Middle Part has just dropped a brand new inspiring single titled ‘2morrow.’ The euphoric mid-tempo track features a steady beat and a variety of synths, resulting in a dream-pop sound. The song was co-written by close friend and “co-conspirator” Brian Zaremba, and co-produced by Grayson Proctor of Biyo. Brian and Middle Part came together and created this song about their experiences with mental health and self-doubt, stemming from the pressures of being an artist in this day and age. The artwork was inspired by Middle Part’s Brooklyn bedroom as his walls are essentially his own personal canvas where he displays photos of his artistic influences, as he wanted to create a space that could be an “escapist’s haven” ahead of his upcoming album. “As we were navigating how we wanted the records to sound, I started making my room into a personal project that quickly became an obsession. I wanted to live within my art and now I’m inviting others to come in and experience my Y2K fever dream,” says Middle Part. You can also check out the trippy video below directed by Kevin James Neal. If you like Indie or Dream Pop and are looking for something fun and uplifting, this is most definitely the song for you! I look forward to seeing what else Middle Part has in store for us, especially his upcoming album. Follow Middle Part.

By: Gemma Mastroianni MBG (Lena) is a Toronto-based alt-rock/pop musician. She started her journey in music in her sister’s playroom, then Long and Mcquade, and now plays on Toronto stages. The self-taught artist sat down with me (virtually) to chat about her story, favourite coffee, and her big TikTok moment with The Beaches. How are you? I’m doing good! It’s a beautiful day outside. I was actually just outside for like 20 minutes, just kind of soaking into the soaking in the sun, that Vitamin D that I need. Can you give a bit of an introduction to who you are? My name is Lena. I’m from Toronto and I’m under the solo project called MBG, which is pretty much an alt-rock solo project where I write, record, and produce all of my music. When I play live, it’s a full band kind of thing. I kind of branded it as a band, but really it’s a solo project for myself. Cool! And what does MBG stand for? So MBG stands for ‘Music Box Girl.’ It was given to me by a little kid when I was at Long and Mcquade. So when I was 15, that’s when I started playing music. My parents couldn’t really afford to buy instruments or lessons. I discovered at the time when I was living in Brampton that I lived really close to Long and Mcquade and every day after school I would just go there and practice there almost every day until closing time. At one point during the summer, my routine was to wake up, go to the gym, and then go to Long and Mcquade because the gym was right beside it. Any customer that came in the store would usually hear me or whatever, and they would kind of just like stop and stare, which I don’t really mind. This one child who came up to me when I was at the piano section of the store, was at the electric guitar section practicing. I was playing bass and I was doing my rounds. He came up to me and said, “So you like to play like, everything?” And I was like, “Yeah, I guess I do play everything.” And he’s like, “Oh, so you’re kind of like a music box girl or whatever?” That compliment just kind of stuck with me. I’m twenty-six now and I started at 15, so it’s 11 years later and still kind of stuck to me. When I started putting this solo project together, I didn’t want to just use my name because it doesn’t seem appealing. So I thought of music box girl and I wanted to abbreviate it just to make it more mysterious, I guess. That’s such a cool story. So you’re entirely self-taught? Yeah, I taught myself. And did you how did you teach yourself? I guess how it really started was with my little sister, she had a bunch of toys. She had a room dedicated to her to toys and one of the toys that she never played with was this toy piano. It was a very small pink little keyboard that you can’t play more than two notes on it. You can’t even play chords on it! I don’t know what came over me but every time I finished homework in high school, I was super bored and I like to keep my hands busy. I was just kind of going for it. I just kind of play with whatever and the keyboard was one of those things and that’s how it started. I started picking up the demo songs on the keyboard by ear and I didn’t really think anything of it, I just thought it was something fun to do. The next thing you know, I started to actually learn pop songs on this toy keyboard. remember showing it to my mother and she was like, “Huh, interesting. You actually are pretty decent.” I didn’t think that I was going to end up becoming a multi-instrumentalist, it was just something that I loved to do and it made me feel happy. How did you find the music store staff? Were they good to you? Did anyone ever give you a hard time? No, no. It came to the point where the people that worked there knew my name and knew which guitar I wanted to pick up, which piano I wanted to play and they just knew that every time I’d come in they would be, like, “Hey, what’s up?” And I would be like “Hey, I’m just doing my rounds!” and I’d stay there for hours, which is good because not a lot of music stores will let you do that. They knew that I didn’t have any instruments and that I couldn’t afford any instruments. So they kind of just gave me the free ticket to play around in the store. So how would you describe your current sound? It’s definitely more indie punk rock than it is pop, but there are some elements of pop because to be honest, even though I do play rock music, I’m a pop girl, I love pop music! I like to mix the best of both worlds with my music. Who are some of your favorite pop artists? Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish Would you say your sound has evolved at all throughout this pandemic? For sure. I feel like when this pandemic started and I started working from home, it gave me more time on myself and on my songwriting and production skills. It definitely has evolved. Listening back to my debut EP that came out two years now, I definitely have evolved and I’m kind of glad that I did. What do you like about the Toronto music scene and how would you describe your place in it? Do you have any favorite venues? Toronto is such a diverse scene, it doesn’t really stick to one genre. There’s so many, amazing talent, like the local talent that are just like doing R&B and then there’s rock and then there’s like so many other elements. I love it and it’s such a loving community. One of my favorite venues to play at is The Supermarket. Do you have a favorite venue that you like to attend? The Danforth Music Hall. Are you a coffee or tea person? Oh, I’m a coffee person, I love coffee! I have a Tassimo and a French press. Do you have a preferred blend? I just recently bought this one from Pilot Coffee which is a Colombian coffee. It’s called Las Palmas. And I love Colombian coffee, it’s like the top-tier coffee. As soon as I saw they were saying that, I was like, I got to get it, and I snatched it. It’s really, really good. I’m actually running out and I gotta go buy more. Beer or seltzer? I’ve got to say seltzer, I’m not a beer girl. I just recently had like a Whiteclaw for the first time, like last week. I love it. It’s so good. Oh, my God. I can’t believe I missed out on this because I kept seeing everyone having a Whiteclaw and seeing the hype of it and I was just like, this better be good for what it’s being hyped up for. I bought the Mango one and I was like, whoa, this is a game-changer. What’s your typical show outfit? For me, it would be like sweats, I want to try to be as comfortable as I can and try not to be too suffocated. I always dress as comfortably as possible, like loose pants and a shirt. I try not to wear too many layers because coat check is expensive. I just wear a cute sweater and jeans and then that’s it. No other layers. If I take off my sweater, have my little backpack and that’s it. I try to come into a concert dressed as light as possible because you just never know. Talk to me about GO O.U.T Yeah, I love this track. Oh, my God. I haven’t really been this excited about a song in a while. I originally this song as a jingle for a TikTok. A lot of people were doing look books and I wanted to be like a character in a video game, and show the fits I would wear. Since this pandemic started I’ve been using retail therapy as a way to cope and I’ve been buying so much stuff, it’s not even funny. There were so many times I had to,, binge and purge my closet and give all the stuff to my sister because I was just buying stuff. But I wanted to show it off in this cute little lookbook so I wrote the song and originally it was only a minute long. I posted on my Instagram and a lot of people really seemed to like it. I was like, OK, so then I took the song to my co-producer Phil and we made it into an actual song. What is next for you? I’m going to keep extending my discography. After meeting with Phil recently I realized that I have enough songs to make an album so now it’s just recording, writing, and practicing my production skills, and putting it to play. I definitely would want to have an album by next year for sure. I think, for now, I’m still working on my songwriting and my sound because I feel like I will be forever evolving. But yeah, that’s pretty much the game plan so far. And hopefully touring. I’m manifesting this, but I totally would love to open up for, The beaches one day. Tik Tok is literally doing something for the music industry, it’s doing a lot of things for the music industry, but I did think a little cover on Tik Tok and Leandre from The Beaches found it and followed me. We just talked and next thing you know, it’s on their TikTok account and now we just kind of like vibing and conversing and just like now we’re like friends or whatever and we’re talking or whatever.

By: Gemma Mastroianni Happy Vinyl Feature Friday! Today I am featuring a very special record by one of my favourite local Pop artists, Tafari Anthony titled”The Way You See Me.” This Toronto-based artist blends Pop, R&B and Soul, accompanied by his powerful sleek vocals. “The Way You See Me” is an EP with a double meaning covering both the struggle of self-love but also the love he has for his partner. I’ve been listening to this record recently because I find it euphoric, exciting, and it has a variety of bops that are so fitting for not only this beautiful weather, but life slowly returning back to normal. I love the openness of his lyricism and I admire the humility he has to be so open about his journey with self-love, something we all struggle/have struggled with at one point or another. On a more technical level, I think the production on this record is fantastic. It sounds very professional and overall has a full sound with some great bass. Vocals and harmonization are also certainly a highlight and his voice is truly one of the best in the city. This EP always allows me to reflect on my own journey with self-love and my relationship with others, and fills my apartment with so much harmony! If you want a feel-good album with some ground-breaking vocals, this one is for you! His influences range from artists like Prince, Brandy, and John Legend, to more contemporary artists like Khalid to Charlie Puth, among others. Often described as a mix of Sam Smith and MNEK, Tafari creates deeply emotional songs that resonate across generations. Highlights: Centerfold, One For You

By: Gemma Mastroianni Summer is just about here and the good vibes are flowing. My food and drink palette always changes with the season, and it’s already started shifting with this gorgeous weather upon us. Although I wish I was drinking a lot of the recommendations I’m sharing below with you before or at a summer concert, I’m looking forward to enjoying them in my backyard or the beach. Here are ten drinks you need in your fridge this summer: Nude Vodka Soda If you’re a vodka soda fan, this is the bevy for you. The small start-up company based out of BC creates an unsweetened vodka soda in flavours Black Cherry (my fave), Lime, Peach, Grapefruit, Cucumber Mint, Raspberry Lemon, Mango, and Strawberry Kiwi. It’s a healthier alternative to sugary drinks and I personally love how pure it tastes. It’s like a straight vodka soda with fresh fruit squeezed in. All of their products are made with a clean alcohol base with natural flavours, and only 100 calories and 0 carbs. Be sure to check out their other products as well! Beach Bum by LOOP Mission Sustainable juice on a hot summer day? Yes, please. If you’re in the city this summer during the lockdown, fear not- the beach is right in your backyard with Beach Bum. Blow up a mini pool, grab a LOOP, and you’re there. Pineapple, yellow pepper, ginger, and turmeric create a refreshing taste perfect for summer! This is my all-time favourite flavour of LOOP. And to top it all off, the company is an economy project that reduces food waste by repurposing fruits and veggies that are rejected for not having the prettiest shape, size, or shelf life to survive the distribution cycle. Everything gets turned into delicious and sustainable cold-pressed juices! They have also started making beers and gin. Jelly King by Bellwoods Brewery If you want to be the ultimate Torontonian (or be super cool and niche if you live outside of the city), you need Jelly King in your life. I’ve been a fan of this beer for over five years now and it’s been so cool watching it become more well known and sold in liquor stores across Canada. The beer is a mixture of sour and hoppy that showcases the aromatic benefits of a dry hop with Citra, Camarillo, and Cascade. Be sure to keep an eye out for special and limited edition Jelly King’s- they come out every so often! Bud Light Strawberry Seltzer We all know Budweiser, of course. I have to say- I was pleasantly surprised with this one. It literally tastes like biting into a strawberry! It’s refreshing, fresh, not too sweet, and only 80 calories with 1G of sugar. Spearhead Brewery Akwa Spearhead Brewing is a Kingston-based craft beer company that recently dropped Akwa, sparkling water! It’s infused with Citra and Cascade hops. It’s basically refreshing sparkling water with a citrus twist. It’s the perfect non-alcoholic summer drink! SWAY Vodka Soda Do you like to ‘keep it real’? SWAY Vodka Soda is definitely going to be your new drink of choice. This fun beverage is simple – vodka soda made with real fruit juice. The two flavours to choose from are the complimentary drink to sunny days, Raspberry Shimmy and Lemon Love. Lemon Love is not available in Ontario yet, but in the meantime, you should definitely get your hands on Raspberry Shimmy. Goose Island IPA Goose Island’s flagship IPA is a six-time medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival. It’s comprised of a traditional English Style and created their very own fuller flavoured IPA with bright citrus aromas and a bold hop finish. With hoppy, bold, and smooth flavour, Goose IPA is the perfect beer for hopheads and discovery drinkers alike. Hibiscus & Rose Hips RISE Kombucha This kombucha is perfect for anyone who likes a bit of a tart flavour, and a hint of caffeine. The drink contains orange, wild berry, red apple, ginger, rose hips, strawberry, green tea, and more. Thornbury Craft x The Tragically Hip Road Apples Cider This is one of the most delicious ciders I’ve tried! I love a dry cider, and this really hit the nail on the head. In 1991, Canadian Rock icons The Tragically Hip released their second studio album: Road Apples. To commemorate the album’s 30th anniversary, band members collaborated with Thornbury Craft in creating a dry, Canadian cider. Made with 100% fresh-pressed, local apple juice, it has a clean, fresh apple flavour and aroma, light-body, with a smooth, lingering, crisp apple finish. If you can get your hands on one – do it! Good Fortune Citrus Orange Flower Sparkling Wine If you like aesthetic cans and a quality floral taste, you’ve got to try this. Expect inviting aromas and flavours of lemon, and orange peel along with a touch of wildflower. A refreshingly clean palate paves the way to a crisp and nicely balanced finish.

By: Gemma Mastroianni Inhaler is an Irish rock band originating from Dublin, Ireland. The band consists of Elijah Hewson, bassist Robert Keating, guitarist Josh Jenkinson and drummer Ryan McMahon. All members recently had a Zoom chat with me to talk about their debut album “It Won’t Always Be Like This” which dropping in July 2021. They also discussed some key pieces of gear they used to record, along with what fans can expect on the upcoming tour. Check out the interview below: Be sure to check out their current music catalogue here. As mentioned above, their new album drops this coming July, so don’t miss out! It’s a BIG sound and will definitely go down as one of the best rock albums of the year. They aren’t afraid to jump outside of a box and play around with a variety of sounds. Overall it is a very full-sounding album and I think it’s what is missing in the younger rock scene. Visit their website for tour dates, merch, and news.
