Some Reviews For Yous:

Ann Southam: A Reissue of a seminal recording by one of Canada's foremost female composers who passed on in November of 2010.

Agnes Obel: German folk indie songstress has been getting a lot of positive reviews with this latest full length.

C'Mon: Some straight up rock and roll form this great Canadian act. Hopefully this release means they'll be touring through Windsor again soon, they are a fantastic live band.

Daniel Romano: Second solo release form Attack In Black frontman/guitarist/singer.

DSTRUCT.O: Some of the best and ONLY dubstep being produced in the city of Windsor. Support!

Birdapres: Tons of great Canadian hip hop talent represented on this disc.

My Son The Hurricane: This act made a huge impression when they played The Loop last fall. Imagine a New Orleans big brass/funk band fronted by a distinctly Canadian MC and this is what you get.

The Riderless: One of London, Ontario's best offering in my opinion. Gorgeous instrumental atmospheric post rock, should be a hit with fans of Windsor's What Seas What Shores.

See YOU at the Jammys!

The Polkadellics - Windsor made polka music!

The Luyas - Montreal based indie rockers with a very solid outing.

STNNNG - This is seriously on of my favourite bands of all time! Thrashy stream of consciousness rock! This is their 3rd release and most accessible to date! Check them out!

Is/Is - This NYC female rock trio is a shear delight! Good pick for Women's day next Tuesday.
