CJAM New Music for March 31st, 2011!

Excited for the Jammys?! I know I am! It's always nice to see our programmers get deserved recognition for all their hard work. A good week for new music, a lil' something for everyone. Here's something neat: 5 new hip hop albums this week and they're ALL Canadian! As per usual: All Artists are linked to their respective web pages for your previewing convenience, EXCEPT FOR: Static Anthem (I couldn't find their web page for the life of me... well about 5 minutes actually, let me know if you can!).

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!
