Hollerado: Straight To Hell

The popular indie rock band is calling it quits, but not before a swansong album and tour. Here is an inventive video for a typically quirky yet melodic new track.

Walk Off The Earth feat. Sarah Silverman: Video Killed The Radio Star

The pop pride of Burlington, ON, partners with a top US comedian for a refreshing new take on the 1979 Buggles hit.
SonReal: 1000 Highways

The platinum-selling BC hip-hop artist adds a soulful folk-pop tinge to this charming homage to the love of his life. A sweet treat.

Jane's Party: Satellite
