Girls of the Internet’s manifesto is clear; to create dance music that calls back to how it was made at its inception, but with the knowledge and experience of the past 50 years of the genre. Joining the dots that have not been joined for a long time, the collective takes on people of all sexualities, gender expressions and body types. “We are very proud to bring this music back to its inclusive roots. Let’s forget the disjointed and cliquey scene we live in, and bring back what once united us.” Crafting songs with real musicians, the group’s name was inspired by Ladies of the 80’s by Eighties Ladies, the album from a girl group produced by Roy Ayers, “I just loved the whole concept, and I wanted to do the same thing with Girls of the Internet,” explains the group’s founding member Tom Kerridge. “I wanted a name that played with gender, and people’s subconscious misogyny. Girls of the Internet is abstract – it means nothing, and it means everything.”

For folksinger Willi Carlisle, singing is healing. And by singing together, he believes we can begin to reckon with the inevitability of human suffering and grow in love. On his latest album, Critterland, Carlisle invites audiences to join him: “If we allow ourselves to sing together, there's a release of sadness, maybe even a communal one. And so for me personally, singing, like the literal act of thinking through suffering, is really freeing,” he says. Rooted in the eclectic and collective world of his live shows, Carlisle’s third album, Critterland takes up where his sophomore album, Peculiar, Missouri left off, transforming Peculiar’s big tent into a Critterland menagerie and letting loose the weirdos he gathered together. The album is a wild romp through the backwaters of his mind and America, lingering in the odd corners of human nature to visit obscure oddballs, dark secrets and complicated truths about the beauty and pain of life and love. Produced by the GRAMMY Award-nominated Darrell Scott and released Jan. 26, 2024 by Signature Sounds, Critterland considers where we come from and where we are going. On the album, he takes on human suffering through stories about forbidden love, loss, generational trauma, addiction, and suicide, believing that by processing the traits and trauma we inherit, he can reach a deeper understanding of what it means to succeed and to exist.

Now, whether you consider the birth date of a band their first show, or the day they decided on their path, it doesn’t matter, because it all happened in that blue house. 2014’s Hallowe’en show was a tentpole for that early sound, and if you don’t know Vancouver, shows almost never happen in houses there. The city breathes a heavy lung full of NIMBY behaviour, so kicking off their journey by cold-rocking the neighbourhood is the way to become the stuff of legends.

Since releasing their debut EP, Cuts & Bruises, the band has been anything but dormant. The past 7 years the band has toured nationally, and performed alongside well known bands such as I Prevail, Palisades, and From Ashes To New. The band broke onto the national scene with their metalcore cover of “The Hills” by The Weeknd, which has racked up over two million Spotify streams to date. They kept the momentum going by following up with original tracks “Bleed For This” in 2018 and “Black Lung” in 2019. They followed their newest EP with New Normal in 2020 which showcased a new sound for the band by intertwining their traditional metal-core sound with pop production elements. In 2021, ARCHERS took a leap with the release of “Blanket Fort” that lead to their branding as the “softest bois in metal core” and blended pop punk with both metal-core and pop. “Bitter” was released in 2022 and was the single that really solidified the band’s sound and set the stage for future releases.

Florida-born artist ivri builds the world she sings from-one shaped by D.I.Y. alternative, intense pop, shoegaze, rock, and sci-fi soul. Her emotionally raw writing and genre-blurring sound have earned billions of views, hundreds of millions of streams, and early praise from outlets like OnesToWatch. “I’m building a world for ivri,” she says. “It’s my real name, but also an identity I can observe from the outside. I love science fiction, fantasy, whimsy, and storytelling. Whatever you’re feeling-heavy, nostalgic, wronged-I have a song for it. I fit anywhere.” Raised in Daytona Beach, she grew up fast, helping care for three siblings with autism and developing the deep empathy that now informs her music. She once planned to become a mineral physicist or join the Air Force, but music eventually pulled her in. At 14, she was discovering Gang Starr and Sam Cooke alongside Twenty One Pilots, Bring Me The Horizon, and Deftones, and drawing inspiration from films and shows such as Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space. She began posting vocals online for fun-but everything changed when she heard her voice sampled on SadBoyProlific’s “Alone,” a future hit with nearly 150 million Spotify streams.

The Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band bridges genres and eras with an intensity and effortlessness few contemporary artists possess. And their new album 'So Delicious' elevates the trio's work to a new level. Produced by Rev. Peyton, 'So Delicious' offers the band's most diverse collection of songs buoyed by the Rev.'s supercharged six-string virtuosity a unique style of fingerpicking inspired by his Delta blues heroes, but taken to new, original heights. The fifth full-length original album by the group which includes Breezy Peyton on washboard and supporting vocals and Ben Bussell on drums and supporting vocals is their debut on Yazoo Records, a label known for the historic reissues of blues and other old time American music that are the bedrock inspiration for the Rev.'s sound and approach. Yazoo was my favourite record label growing up, he explains. For fans of old country blues and all manner of early American music, they are the quintessential label. And for me, it's like being on the same label as Charley Patton and 'Mississippi' John Hurt. To think that Yazoo believes we are authentic enough to stand with the other people in their catalogue means a lot. The Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band has always been strong on authenticity, playing music that blends blues, ragtime, folk, country and other traditional styles with the sleek modern energy of do-it-yourself, homespun, punk fuelled rock. And performing tunes plucked from their lives, their community or from the canonical songbook that fed the Rev. Peyton's formative creative identity. It's a mix that's allowed the band to win fans from all corners of the Americana and rock worlds, and bring a new generation to blues and other forms of American roots music. Some listeners also have a hard time believing all of the Rev.'s extraordinary guitar performances are recorded live with no overdubs until they see the Big Damn Band in concert. Pot Roast & Kisses is a radiant example of his nimble style; weaving two melodies, thumb plucked bass lines and bright decorative filigrees into a graceful, upbeat blend. The rocking electric juggernaut Let's Jump a Train is another. The song's lyrics explore the notion of courageously pursuing adventure a frequent theme in the lives and the songs of the Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band while the Rev. bangs out a machine-gun rhythm with his thumb, ladles in generously sinuous licks and tosses off seemingly effortless fills and accents, then solos and plays the beat simultaneously. When people hear 'So Delicious' and see us play live, I think they understand that what we're singing about is real to us, the Rev. says. We believe in the stories we're telling and in the way we play. And when we're on stage or off, there's nothing fake about us. We are what we do, and I'm proud of that.

Forged in Newcastle, honed in South-East London, Imogen and the Knife is carving an incandescent path through alternative pop. As is the way with the Northern songwriter coterie, Imogen has remarkable capacity to elicit a deeply emotional response from her audience, her artistry ground on the wheels of the north and community. With vocal performances of depth, vulnerability and control, Imogen articulates an intimate yet social experience, often exploring themes drawn from her upbringing and her complex relationship with the body. Joining the dots along a jagged line of influences from Kate Bush, Nick Cave, Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright and more, Imogen and the Knife crafts a unique world that glints with intrigue in each new track - from rhythmic swells and brooding orchestral arrangements to the grounded haunting trademark of her piano and vocal performance. Poignant song writing is brought to life with moments of quiet reflection and fresh, full-bodied instrumentals. Imogen uses 'the Knife' as a powerful symbol of reclamation. Embracing the surgical knife, a motif that has threaded its way through her life and writing, she transforms it into a conduit for artistic expression. It embodies the precision and clarity found in her lyrics and delivery, allowing the message to cut through, leaving an indelible mark on her listeners.

Jon Gomm, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire in the UK, is an acoustic singer-songwriter with a revolutionary virtuoso guitar style, where he uses one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, basslines and twisting melodies all at the same time. The emphasis is still on the soulful vocals and songwriting, and his original material is influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead. His live shows combine deeply personal performances and a natural wit, with a once seen, never forgotten two-handed guitar style, both physical and complex, producing sounds people can barely believe are coming from a humble acoustic guitar. Jon first laid his hands on a guitar at the age of two (actually it was a ukulele - his parents couldn't find a guitar small enough). He wrote his first song at the age of six, and was soon accompanying his father, a music critic, to gigs in his hometown of Blackpool. Touring musicians would often stay at the Gomm household on the understanding Jon would get a guitar lesson, meaning he had one-to-one instruction from such blues legends as BB King and Jack Bruce of Cream. Nowadays, Jon tours worldwide. In January 2012 his song Passionflower went viral online, with the video passing 6 million hits, resulting in national TV appearances in the UK, Portugal, Holland, Brazil and Turkey.

From Derby, the band comprises of John Hartwell -- Lead Vocals and Rhythm Guitar, Arran Day -- Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals, Jon Hallam -- Bass, Dan Southall -- Drums. Collectively influenced by the likes of John Mayer, Rival Sons, Joe Bonamassa, Marcus Bonfanti, Black Stone Cherry and Royal Blood, These Wicked Rivers love writing huge sounding riffs and combining them with epic guitar solos! Fusing the classic rock sounds of Cream with modern blues riffs akin to Joe Bonamassa and John Mayer, they have rapidly developed a cult following in the East Midlands. With their solid collection of self composed material and marrying old-school musicianship with a youthful intensity, they have brought old-style blues rock into the twenty first century!

Raised on the music of the Smokey Mountains, Joshua Ray Walker took a precarious path back to traditional country music. One forged by musical exploration and life experiences that most his age have not yet endured. He has played his songs on stages all across Texas and beyond, enthralling listeners with his brand of melodic, character-driven writing which puts a new spin on traditional story-telling country. Once the best-kept secret of Dallas' music scene, Joshua Ray Walker catapulted himself into the international spotlight with his 2019 debut, Wish You Were Here. An album of character-driven songwriting and golden-era Texas twang, Wish You Were Here didn't just nod to the larger-than-life troubadours who'd inspired Walker's craft it brought him into their ranks, too, adding Walker's name to the shortlist of songwriters worthy of carrying the torches of Guy Clark, John Prine, and Blaze Foley.
