With their signature blend of gritty country rock and heartfelt storytelling, Vancouver’s Pistol Whip The Devil return with their explosive new single 'The Devil In Me' out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.

Produced by Winston Hauschild at The Treehouse Studio, 'The Devil In Me' is a driving anthem that captures the intoxicating rush of spontaneity and connection—the thrill of a night unbound by rules or expectations. It’s a celebration of living in the moment, where anything can happen, and nothing is off-limits.

"This song is about one of those nights where you are out meeting new people, sharing new experiences, doing things you never thought you would do, embracing life and the moment, not caring about consequences not doubting your next move," says lead vocalist/guitarist Shane Jolie. "It could end good or could end terrible. Who knows? Anything goes!"

Their high-energy live performances lit up iconic local venues, including The Red Room, The Roxy, and The Rickshaw, earning them a growing reputation for their raw sound and magnetic stage presence. Along the way, they’ve shared the stage with major Canadian acts such as Dallas Smith, The Sheepdogs, The Reklaws, and Jojo Mason.

Toronto Pop-Funk Artist Siggimusic Shares New Single + Video DOIT!

1ST SINGLE FROM NEW EP
SET FOR RELEASE IN EARLY 2026

STREAM/SHARE VIDEO HERE

After a long hiatus,Toronto-based pop-funk artist Siggimusic (formerly known as Siggi) is back with his electrifying new single and video 'DOIT!' out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.

'DOIT!' is the first single from Siggimusic's forthcoming 5-song EP set for release in early 2026. Drawing from his diverse musical influences, 'DOIT!' is a testament to Siggimusic's ability to fuse classic funk elements with modern pop sensibilities, resulting in a track that is both nostalgic and fresh. Lyrically, 'DOIT!' exudes confidence and motivation, a reminder of the joy in movement, connection, and raw self-expression. Set in a lifeless party, the video brings that message to life, as Siggimusic reignites the room with an unspoken energy that draws people back to the rhythm.

"'DOIT!' is about the primal urge to feel, move, and truly let go," says Siggimusic. "It's your reminder to stop overthinking and start moving!”

Siggimusic is an independent artist, blending innovation and artistry across multiple mediums. Starting as a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, he’s grown into a full-fledged producer and sound engineer, now crafting his entire catalog under his own self-titled record label. His genre-defying sound merges forward-thinking production with a deep appreciation for musical and fashion styles from the past and present, creating something truly unique. Taking his creative journey further, he’s collaborating on the launch of fashion brand FunkyLines, where custom local handmade pieces reflect a vision and passion for individuality.   

'DOIT!' is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit siggimusic.com.

Yellowknife Indie Folk Project HUGHES Shares New Track DESPITE THE DISTANCE

1ST SINGLE FROM NEW ALBUM
OUT ON JULY 11th

STREAM/SHARE LYRIC VIDEO HERE

Hughes, the indie folk project from Yellowknife musician Benji Straker, share their emotionally tender new single 'Despite The Distance' out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.

The first single from Hughes' self-titled debut full-length (out on July 11th), 'Despite The Distance' was initially released last year but Straker felt the song deserved a place on the album, so he recorded a new version hoping to get more ears on the authentic and introspective track.  

"I wrote 'Despite The Distance' during a period of deep reflection on fatherhood—reminiscing about my two little girls, watching them grow, and feeling that bittersweet pull between the past and the future," says Benji Straker. "As parents, we all question if we're doing enough, but this song is my way of holding onto the moments that matter most. I originally released it as a single in early 2024, but as both the song and Hughes evolved, I felt it deserved another chance to shine—so I re-recorded it for the album to truly do it justice."

Through his indie folk project, Straker weaves introspective lyrics, ambient textures, and country-surf guitar into a sound both ethereal and grounded. Rooted in the wild beauty of the North, Hughes channels the serenity of lakes and the glow of the aurora into music that explores love, loss, and self-discovery. What began as a solo endeavour has grown into a full-band experience, blending folk storytelling with blues-rock grit and layered instrumentation. Whether intimate or expansive, Hughes offers an evocative journey that resonates with raw emotion and authenticity.

'Despite The Distance' (album version) is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit linktr.ee/hughesmusic.

Celtic Folk Duo Jocelyn Pettit + Ellen Gira Share New Single MIDNIGHT

1ST RELEASE FROM NEW ALBUM OUT JUNE 3rd
STREAM/SHARE 'MIDNIGHT' HERE

Canadian Folk Music Award winners Jocelyn Pettit & Ellen Gira share 'Midnight', the first release from their new album Here To Stay set for release on June 3rd. Listen here.

A dynamic Celtic folk fiddle and cello duo, Jocelyn & Ellen fuse traditional and contemporary music styles, creating a powerfully uplifting and soulful performance, weaving a rhythmically driving and textured sound. Complemented by lively stepdancing, they bring life and fire into original tunes, songs, and high-energy repertoire from Scotland, Ireland, North America, and Scandinavia.

With their new single 'Midnight', the duo offer a captivating instrumental journey that captures the quiet intensity and camaraderie of life on the road. As the first glimpse into their upcoming album Here To Stay, the track sets a warm, immersive tone that blends tradition with personal storytelling, without needing a single lyric.

"This track is made up of two tunes - 'The Final Stretch', written by Ellen as she wrapped up the final stretch of her PhD, and 'Midnight Ceilidh', a reel I wrote to celebrate the vibrant energy of life on the road," said Jocelyn Pettit (Fiddle). "We are so grateful for the amazing community and welcoming hosts we meet along our music journey, who help make new places feel like home, and the wonderful conversations and kitchen parties shared!"

The duo’s new upcoming full-length release Here To Stay celebrates home and travel, with 11 carefully crafted instrumental and vocal tracks inspired by Jocelyn & Ellen’s roots and where their passions have taken them. Since first meeting in Scotland, they have both returned to their North American homes, much like the journey of the Common Loon or Great Northern Diver, as depicted in the album art. The album weaves a rhythmic, textured sound with nuanced fiddle-cello interplay, captivating harmonies, French Canadian foot percussion, and lively dance tunes.

‘Midnight’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. Jocelyn & Ellen will be on the road to support their new album, starting with a 16-show UK Tour in May. For more information and full tour listings, please visit jocelynandellen.com.

Tapping Into Canadian Pride! Eric Sage Returns With New CANADIAN BEER Remix

STREAM/SHARE HERE

Eric Sage · Canadian Beer (Party Remix)

Country rock artist Eric Sage rides the wave of renewed Canadian pride with the release of a high-octane remix of his 2024 hit single, 'Canadian Beer' out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here. 

Fuelled by a wave of patriotic energy and a growing movement to support homegrown talent and products, the new remix cranks up the volume on a track that already captured hearts—and hockey arenas—across the country. 'Canadian Beer' quickly became a sing-along staple when it first dropped in 2024, and now, with fans calling for a fresh spin, Eric Sage is delivering a remix made for summer playlists, backyard parties, and stadium sound systems.

“I have always loved big, anthemic songs," says Eric Sage. "There’s nothing like when they’re played at a concert or sporting event and the crowd goes wild. 'Canadian Beer' had that feeling right away. With this important movement to 'Buy Canadian', I feel like the song is more powerful than ever! After I released the song last year, I received many requests for a 'Party Remix' and now seemed like the right time to do it. In these trying times, what’s better than cracking open a cold one? And not just any old beer, make it a down-home, mother trucker, patriotic Canadian Beer!"

Canadian-born Eric Sage has toured the world as a country-rock artist, sharing stages with legends like Slash, The Beach Boys, and Vince Neil. Before music, he was a world-ranked tennis pro, until a devastating car accident ended his athletic career. Against the odds, Sage reinvented himself as a dynamic performer with a three-octave range. Now, after international success, he's coming home to Canada, bringing his high-energy sound, inspiring story, and unstoppable spirit to the stage.

The 'Canadian Beer' (Party Remix) is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit ericsage.com.
