COUSINS (Also from Halifax, NS)

LULLABY GRUNGE. 2 Piece full of melodies and rhythms that get into yr liver and kick your kidneys. It’ll make you cry and pump you up about it. They write songs about losing friends to the big cities all across our country.

THE DYEING MERCHANTS
www.thedyeingmerchants.com
Reverb drenched noise/pop rockers bring some West Coast cheer to a former stomping ground.

MOURNING COUP
www.myspace.com/mourningcoup
Performance artist turned solo artist, MC’s music is captivating using loops, electronic beats and calming synths. Using trippy psychedelic lighting, Chandra mimics haunting sounds from the natural world.

LITTLE JUNGLES
http://littlejungles.bandcamp.com/
Hometown hero who is always a pleasure to see. Described as “bitter truth wrapped in shiny pop-gaze wrappers like so much hard, hard candy” by Weird Canada, while Coke Machine Glow gushes that “electro and shoegaze bump up against one another like untethered boats, while carefully constructed melodic lines suck the listener along with the undertow”.
Sounds good, right? It is.
