Billy Moon: Things havent been the easiest for Billy Moon. Coming back from his first East Coast tour, he found himself in a hospital in rural Quebec when their car flipped twice after getting hit by a truck. By some Satanic miracle, everyone walked away unharmed, but there was still the nagging doubt that this was the end of music for Moon. Thankfully, one year later hes come back with a new EP and an energetic live show thats sure to make you realize that were all going to die but hey, maybe thats ok.

Future Peers: Future Peers were hatched at the Banff Art Centre and formed between a cold garage in Toronto and a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles. They make music that sounds like it might be from the future. PEERS are from the future, at that moment in time they are just called PEERS. They traveled back in time in a vintage Chevy Astro.

Aron D'alesio: Aron D'Alesio toes the line between lo-fi fuzz and polished melody, injecting earnest storytelling into his bluesy psychedelic sound to create an atmosphere of nostalgia and charm. As a solo performer, Aron's live show "layers intricate and loose guitars over the tracks he's put together from recordings. It's a bizarre and captivating approach to performing rock solo, and it works especially well given the slightly skewed emotions his music invokes." With his forthcoming album, D'Alesio "builds the soundtrack to help you through those late night drives mourning the end of summer romance without a tumble into total melancholy."

Dan Edmonds: Ladies on the Corner, rocks a shaggy, slack-assed, electric-Beat-folkie vibe reminiscent of Lou Reed, Kurt Vile, the young Bob Dylan and fellow Grateful Dead admirer Cass McCombs, with a couple of rambles into mournful, distant-psych territory that evoke the late, great Galaxie 500 in its tenderest moments of Velvet Underground idolatry.
