The album’s first single, “Lonely Boy” shot straight to #1 at Modern Rock (where it has remained for 12 weeks and counting) and is now #1 at every BDS and Mediabase rock chart in Canada!
BROTHERS also spawned three enormous radio hits: "Tighten Up," "Howlin' For You" and "Next Girl," which was a Canada-only single.

"Next Girl" reached the Top 5 at Modern Rock and the Top 10 at Mainstream Rock.
If that’s not Canadian enough, The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney has even decided to take Canadian indie rock heroes The Sheepdogs under his wing and produce their new record. Talk about a killer combo!
And now…“Gold On The Ceiling.” If you haven’t heard this song yet, then you are in for a treat! This could be the ultimate rock anthem of the year. Please turn up the volume and enjoy the brand new single from The Black Keys – “Gold On The Ceiling” Do not miss seeing these guys live

The collective brainchild of Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft, recently turned 5-piece Said The Whale is as much a product of Vancouver's tremendous natural beauty as it is of the city's budding independent music scene. Their unique blend of eclectic indie rock captures the essence of what it means to be young, free, and occasionally heartbroken in your early twenties.

"Just when you think cynicism has completely permeated the indie scene, a band pops up to make you optimistic again."-Eye Weekly

"Hailing from lovely Vancouver, Canada, Said The Whale makes delightfully quirky music, its infectious!" -PerezHilton.com

Kingdom of Few is the amalgamation of 4 distinct musical personalities in order to create a new sound and mood in the rock music world. For far too long the rock scene has been dying, Kingdom of Few hopes to be that spark that kick starts a new wave of music to take back the radio waves that once belonged to rock and roll.

The origins of this band, like many others, start in the ashes of a former one. It was late 2008 when Alex Parks was playing bass for a successful cover band around Calgary when he was bitten by the bug and began writing music for an original side project. After leaving the cover band and quickly enlisting good friend John Clarke on drums, the pair was off recording tracks in Alex’s basement preparing to tryout singers. Many singers came and went as months passed before Curtis Butala answered the ad in the FFWD magazine Alex had placed in March 2009. Curt was an instant hit with Alex and John showing his awesome vocal and stage presence as well as a ton of energy. He was added to the lineup that night. A week later a guitar player by the name of Reno Serani became the final piece of the puzzle by adding his exceptional guitar skills to the mix. The four band mates quickly became friends as songs began almost writing themselves.

Kingdom of Few has been playing shows in and around Calgary Alberta since May 2009 quickly establishing themselves as a very popular live act and building up a solid fan base. Starting in September 2010 Kingdom of Few went into the studio to record their debut EP. Spending the next 10 months at Music Center Canada with award winning engineer Johnny Gasparic at the helm, they were able to produce a 6 song EP that well represents the band's diversity. With the EP CD finished, Kingdom of Few is poised to make a full blown assault on the rock radio airwaves promoting their brand of rock and roll.

JIM CUDDY
“Regular Days”
Now that the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is over, things are starting to fall back into the routine that we know and love. Jim Cuddy’s brand new single “Regular Days” couldn’t come at a better time as we are reminded of the beauty of everyday life and the comfort of home. With Cuddy’s iconic voice, best known from his role as the singer of Canadian legends Blue Rodeo, this song is sure to become an instant classic.
“Regular Days” is the upbeat second single from his critically acclaimed solo album SKYSCRAPER SOUL which was released this past fall with the first single “Everyone Watched The Wedding,” an ode to last year’s Royal Wedding. This very personal album was recorded in Blue Rodeo’s Woodshed Studio and produced by Cuddy himself, with the help of legendary guitarist Colin Cripps and Chris Shreenan-Dyck.
“When I write songs for my solo material, the songs tend to be a lot more personal than what I write for Blue Rodeo,” says Jim. “I come in here and sit down with all of these instruments and work at building the ideas until a song emerges.”
Jim was joined in the studio by his touring solo band, The Jim Cuddy Band (Colin Cripps, Bazil Donovan, Joel Anderson, Steve O’Connor and Anne Lindsay) and a number of Toronto’s top horn players and string players. Many of the album’s songs benefit from the spontaneity of having the musicians set up together in the studio and play live off the floor, giving these songs an authenticity that is hard to come by in this day and age.
