Independently produced and released, Secrets About Us is the debut album for the Calgarian electronic artist Krystle Love B. Her signature blend of guitar and synthesizers is versatile and interesting, lending itself equally well to both the acoustic feeling of songs such as “Memories on Paper,” and the more hypnotic and slick tracks like “I’ve… Continue reading Spun: Krystle Love B

Spun: Mother Mother
The Vancouver Sun recently hailed Mother Mother’s newest release, Eureka, as the streamlined product of the quintet’s previous two albums. The statement is partially true — Eureka is the result of a combination of Touch Up, Mother Mother’s quaint, catchy independently-released first album and their second release, O My Heart. It’s obvious why the band… Continue reading Spun: Mother Mother
Spun: Broken Social Scene
Broken Social Scene is a super group composed of many artists with notable individual sound and skill which enable the group to make each song distinguishable from the next.

Spun: Mother Mother

Intense and not easily pigeon-holed into any real category, it’s a polyphonic gambit that is exhilaratingly distinctive. Deviating from their preceding album Touch Up, Mother Mother trades their acoustic foundations for a fuller,… Continue reading Spun: Mother Mother

From the man who gave us the Grammy-winning album Can’t Slow Down, Lionel Richie disappoints listeners with nothing more than a fourty-minute dud of mediocre love songs on Coming Home. It has been almost twenty years since Richie produced so much as a single to top the charts, and it doesn’t seem like that will… Continue reading Spun: Lionel Richie
Smile on, you crazy punkers
By Nicole Kobie
The members of Guy Smiley have good reason to smile. The Winnipeg punk band released three critically acclaimed CDs, toured the world, wreaked havoc on Jenny Jones and are sponsored skateboarders. What more could anyone want? While they may have it good now, it hasn’t been an easy trip. Problems with management led the band… Continue reading Smile on, you crazy punkers
