Joseph D. Rowland (Pallbearer)

PALLBEARER embarks on a poignant exploration in their album "Mind Burns Alive," skillfully traversing the delicate balance between unease and tranquility with unwavering passion. With a remarkable fervor, their fifth full-length release weaves together poetic introspection and searing intensity, serving as a heartfelt contemplation on themes of isolation, trauma, and the unraveling of the mind. This profound journey is framed by the ever-present hope of redemption and the bittersweet allure of finding solace in moments of quietude and the achingly beautiful prospect of escape.

Steph and Paul O'Sullivan (Greywind)

Greywind, the talented brother and sister duo from Ireland known for their emo-rock sound, have recently revealed their plans for a series of UK shows in early 2024. This exciting tour will include a collection of headline performances as well as a joint venture with the band As December Falls. The release of their new single, 'Antidote,' symbolizes a significant turning point for Greywind, as they emerge from the frustrating challenges of the music industry. 'Antidote' is a powerful and unrelenting explosion of anthemic emotion, delivering a biting dose of catharsis that draws inspiration from the universal theme of revenge, serving as a fuel for their creative expression.

Brad Garcia (Locket)

Brad Garcia (Locket)

Ontario alt-rock band Locket has crafted a definitive statement with Superluminal, a creatively ambitious yet firmly focused effort. The band singer/guitarist Brad Garcia, guitarist Cory Bergeron and bassist Travis Morrison — formed in Markham in 2012 and was originally known as Safe to Say. They released their independent debut album With Everything in Between in 2013 and followed it with the Hiding Games EP (SideOneDummy) in 2015 and their second album Down in the Dark (New Damage) in 2016. Over a period of five years, the band toured across Canada, the U.S., Europe, and the U.K., including a summer on the Warped Tour. They went on hiatus in 2017, regrouped two years later under the new name Locket, and released All Out (Fearless) in late 2019. The record earned raves from Billboard, The Alternative, and New Noise, while the single “Hunnie” racked up more than 1.3 million Spotify streams.
