The New Cities

Blending the timeless tastiness of classic synth-pop to the intensity and dynamics of modern punk and the irrefutable rump mobilization of the recent dance-rock insurgence, the New Cities are primed to bring their own form of urban renewal to the Canadian pop-music scene and beyond as their first single, “Dead End Countdown,” hit radio waves in February, with the full album, "Lost In City Lights", released in May 2009.

Angela Desveaux

A gifted singer/songwriter, Angela Desveaux's music merges the simple emotional honesty and rich sonic landscape of classic country with the personal focus of contemporary folk and the roots-conscious attack of alt-country. Desveaux was born in Quebec just outside Montreal, but she spent much of her childhood on the island of Cape Breton in Nova Scotia. Cape Breton has a rich history of traditional folk music drawn from Irish and Spanish sources, and the island's distinctive fiddle music had a deep impact on Desveaux.

INVASIVES

Invasives are a trio from Vancouver BC formed in 2001 and consisting of 2 brothers Byron and Adam Slack (Vocals/Guitar/Bass) and 1 Hans Anus (Drums). The sound these lads create is a stripped down Punk Rock devoid of cliches and Rock & Roll frippery, rebuilt and refurbished in a way that ONLY Invasives can deliver.

With their fourth full length release "Desk Job At Castle Dracula" (2010) Invasives continue to tightened their grip and explore the depths of their existence (Which by strange coincidence is identical to your existence!).
