Episode 48: Koster

vendredi 18 février 2022 • Durée 49:53

Jay Koster, former frontman of BC based pop-punk band The Fallaways, joins me to talk about his new solo project Koster.

Episode 47: Lukas and Charise of MOTHER TONGUES

lundi 23 août 2021 • Durée 01:02:33

If you haven’t heard of this band and love nothing more than putting on some great music after a long day’s work and sparking up a joint or sipping on your favourite cocktail then look no further. You’ve found them. Mother Tongues has been on the Toronto music scene for the past 5 years and is made up of: Lukas Cheung, Charise Aragoza, Konrad Karczewski, Nick Kervin , Hannah Bussiere Kim.

It was a love of everything from 60s French pop, to break beats, kraut rock shoegaze and film scores that brought these 5 together and it’s interesting how all of these seemingly random mix of genres come out in their music. Mother Tongues have toured all across Canada and the US sharing the stage notable artists such as Dilly Dally, Fucked Up and U.S Girls.

The band signed with Buzz Records in 2019 and released their debut EP Everything You Ever Wanted in 2020, in the thralls of the COVID 19 pandemic. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to give the EP a listen, it is truly out of this world and as guitarist and vocalist Lukas Cheung says the “music transports you” – which is a very accurate way of describing it. To truly get a sense of this statement check out their Live If you haven’t heard of this band and love nothing more than putting on some great music after a long day’s work and sparking up a joint or sipping on your favourite cocktail then look no further. You’ve found them. Mother Tongues has been on the Toronto music scene for the past 5 years and is made up of: Lukas Cheung, Charise Aragoza, Konrad Karczewski, Nick Kervin , Hannah Kim – if that last name sounds familiar to you, it should because Hannah is none other than the very popular and talented Luna Li.

I caught up with Lukas and Charise via zoom o chat about the forming of the band, what drives them and how they’ve navigated putting out their debut EP during a pandemic.

Here’s my chat with Lukas and Charise of Mother Tongues at the River & Sky Festival on YouTube.

EPISODE 38: LTtheMonk

mercredi 24 mars 2021 • Durée 51:28

LTtheMonk grew up in Beckenham, a small town in Bromley – one of the Boroughs of London in the UK. Music was always a big part of his life, but he fell in love with Hip Hop when we stumbled upon Twista’s “Sunshine” music video while channel surfing at the tender age of 7 – something just clicked and he knew right then that he needed to become a rapper.

When it came time to apply for colleges, LT knew North America would give him the best chance of making a career in Hip Hop, AND because of Canada’s more lenient immigration policies, picked us and bought his plane ticket. He studied music in Hamilton, where he would meet the members of the band that he performs with at his live shows.

In the last year, LT landed a record deal with Hamilton-based label and management company Sonic Unyon, becoming their first hip hop artist. He’s been working hard on the final touches on his upcoming album “On The Wall” (which is a nod to his inspiration: Michael Jackson’s infamous album from the 90’s “Off The Wall”).

Join me as we learn a little more about LT and his journey in life and hip hop.

EPISODE 37: Matt Ware of Yester Daze

dimanche 21 mars 2021 • Durée 41:37

Yester Daze is made up of three members: Brandon McShad on GTR and lead VOX, Zach Lemay on bass and Matt Ware on the drums. The guys originally got together when Brandon hired Zach and Matt as session musicians for his solo project, but once the spark between these three ignited and the music became heavier and louder, they quickly decided that this new direction the music was going in needed a new band name, and so in 2018 Yester Daze was born.

I caught up with the band’s drummer, Matt via Zoom to talk about the band’s origin story, the making of their debut EP, and some pretty big names they got to work with because of it.

EPISODE 36: Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs

vendredi 26 février 2021 • Durée 45:12

The Toronto-based powerhouse, Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs have been tearing up stages across North America with the likes of Fidlar, The Dirty Nil, Frank Turner and Billy Joe Armstrong’s The Longshot, to name a few.

“Real One” is the band’s third full length album, and while the first two were already great, this is simply better – the band have all matured as musicians, the sound is fuller, richer and they managed to capture that live energy you get from them at any of their shows.

Sam and I talk about all kinds of stuff including band’s DnD sessions, which you can catch every Wednesday at 7pm EST on twitch (their handle is @coffeyandlungs). We also talk about the new record, and how they managed to achieve the sound they did and finally because he’s from Toronto, we chat about some of his favourite spots in the city.

EPISODE 35: Brandon Williams AKA Chastity

vendredi 12 février 2021 • Durée 49:28

Chastity is the brain-child of Brandon Williams, the band’s frontman and lyricist. Over the last six years, Williams has put out an EP and two full-length albums.

So far in 2021, Chastity has released one single, a cover of Third Eye Blinds “Losing a Whole Year” – which is very fitting with COVID 19 essentially cancelling the 2020. I caught up with Brandon over the phone, which is why the audio on this one isn’t the best. We talk about all sorts of things, including the making of “Drain The Bloodbath”, and what made him decide to get veteran studio vocalist Makeda Francisco involved.

We also talk about when his love affair with music started, and how would eventually fall in love with punk rock when he got into skating culture. I’ve been a fan of Chastity since their first album Death Lust dropped back in 2018, so this interview really meant a lot and I got to ask a lot of questions as a fan – because really there isn’t all too much information on Brandon online – he’s a very private person it seems.

EPISODE 34: TandM

jeudi 7 janvier 2021 • Durée 58:51

Toronto-based Indie Pop duo TandM is made up of lead singer and guitarist Maxine Beck-Sinderby and drummer Thomas Franklin – T for Thomas and M for Maxine – therefore TandM.

The two met serendipitously at a music studio in high school and became fast friends, and eventually a couple. They both entered into York university for music, where their songwriting skills would grow and they would put out their first EP Reflections Vol 1 and Reflections Vol 2 in 2019. Then in October of 2020, after having graduated from university with BA’s in music and signing with Popguru Sound and Vision, Maxine and Thomas chose their favorite 5 tracks from both EPs and sent them to Howie Beck and João Carvalho to be remixed and remastered and put those tracks out on a new EP called Reflections Remastered. Here's my chat with TandM.

Bike Thiefs is a Toronto-based post-punk trio made up of bassist Kris Pandierada, drummer Andrew Fasken and guitarist/vocalist Marko Woloshyn.

The band have been together for over 5 years and in that time have released three EPs, as well as a full-length album titled "Leaking", which they released this year after signing with Montreal-based label Stomp Records.

I caught up with the guys via Zoom to chat about their album, video games and their favourite bars and restaurants in Toronto.

EPISODE 32: Partner

lundi 14 décembre 2020 • Durée 34:26

Partner is made up of Josée Caron on guitar and vocals, Lucy Niles on bass and vocals and Simone TB on drums. The band have been active for a number of years now, Josée and Lucy met at university in New Brunswick in 2014, and by 2020 Partner has put out two full-length albums and one EP. They gained notoriety in 2018, when they won the SOCAN Signwriting Prize for their song “Playing The Field”.

Their first album In Search Of Lost Time (2017) had a late 90’s / early 2000’s rock sound to it – one could compare their old stuff to a mix of American Hifi and Wheatus. However, over the years the band have developed a more classical rock sound, taking inspiration from great Canaidan bands like Rush, and you can hear it throughout the latest album Never Give Up (2020).

I got to chat with the band while they were taking a break from recording in a studio in BC. We talk about the formation of the band and how Simone eventually got involved – Simone is an extremely accomplished session drummer who also plays in another amazing band U.S. Girls. We also chat a lot about the new album and the even newer material they are currently working on.

Episode 31: Baby FuzZ

mardi 1 décembre 2020 • Durée 52:01

Sterling Fox has been in the industry for a long time now and has worked with some top talents, like Madonna, Avicii and Adam Levine to name a few. However, in 2018 Fox decided that it was time to put out his own music, without the limitations of the pop machine and started putting out tracks under his new moniker Baby FuzZ. As diverse as his music is, the lyrics are a singular and hyper self aware narrative with strong political and social undertones.

In 2019, Baby Fuzz released his debut album Plastic Paradise independently and embarked on a DIY US Tour and amidst all of this COVID pandemonium, Baby FuzZ has been working hard on the debuts follow up Welcome to the Future – which fans can expect to drop late 2020 or early 2021. So far we’ve had a taste of 4 singles which are all very different from one another, showing off his wide versatility in music sensibilities.

Sterling and I dive into the new music, he tells me about the challenges of how being completely independent can be difficult if you’re a perfectionist when trying to finish an album, we also talk about his love for video games and movies as well as the story behind the cool mask he wears in his music video for “Acid Night”.
