From Halifax, this indie five-piece has quickly made a name for themselves and recently released their sophomore album. I love their big, anthemic sound in this song.

Written on the Isle of Wight after a seventh month tour, this song is a nod to Frank Zappa’s daughter and an ode to cassettes their parents listened to on long drives. I enjoy the song’s energetic feel.

From their upcoming EP, Boston trio The Ballroom Thieves offer a traditional murder ballad with this song. I like the jazzy, soulful sound.

About to begin a US tour, Lauren Ruth Ward recently released a highly-anticipated psych-blues debut. I enjoy the rock swagger of this song.
