Artist Picks – May/June 2017

With the warmer weather and sunnier skies, we’ve already got those summer hits on repeat. We’ve compiled some of our favourite artists who are going to be flowing through our headphones and car speakers this season.

Check out our artist picks for May & June.

Back for More – Bleed American Reunite

Fans everywhere were filled with disappointment when Winnipeg’s Bleed American called a hiatus in December 2015. Despite the best efforts of many artists, sometimes life and other commitments stand in the way of rock & roll dreams. This was the case for the popular pop-punk quintet. After a year and a half and one tragic ordeal, that thing called life that once dissolved the group has now brought them back together. We spoke with vocalist/guitarist Jordan Voth about their new music, their plans for 2017 and the experience that brought the band together.

Tucked & Treasured

Tucked away off the street lies a tiny gem of a jam space that caters to music lovers who value intense and intimate performances over polished and overproduced arena shows.

A local favourite of East Vancouver, Stylus Records, offers a unique atmosphere for those seeking asylum from the mainstream venues and their day-to-day interactions with art.

A New Found Sound

A Vicious Kind just broke out into Winnipeg’s music scene, and the new alt-rock band has no plans on holding anything back. We sat down with the musician behind AVK to discuss his new single, W.T.W.C. (Wounds That We Carry), growth as a musician, finding his way to his own musical happiness and his plans for the future.
