About ACTORS
Website | Facebook | YouTube | Spotify
Vancouver post-punk outfit ACTORS have released a new song. 'In Real Life' is available wherever you get your music now via Toronto's Artoffact Records.
Unsurprisingly for a band whose music has been featured on several Netflix tv series, the new song has a cinematic presence from beginning to end. With otherworldly production (courtesy of bandleader Jason Corbett) 'In Real Life' subtly introduces a myriad of different elements throughout its three minutes and 15 seconds run time. Intertwining ominous beats, ethereal synth sounds, and perfectly placed electric guitars, while leaving ample room for hard hitting bass lines and highly-relatable lyrics, the track comes ready made for TV. Picture an episode of your favourite TV show, when the main character is walking down the street in reflection, knowing they were meant for so much more and ready to take on the world...

About SOFT VEIN
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Observations on love, lust and the human condition from a passionately detached narrator. SOFT VEIN, the electronic project of songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Justin Chamberlain, blends elements of darkwave, industrial, EBM and electro-pop, with the aim to embrace duality, creating a sound equally inspired by romance and cynicism, by nostalgia and modernity, by the warm ache of love, desire and yearning - and the cold reality of longing, loneliness and loss.
Beds of cascading synthesizers and dreamy guitars reveal an aching sentimentality. Hypnotic rhythms pump and throb from drum machines and bass synthesizers. Strange, metallic percussion and sonic textures fill the spaces between, sounding all at once like obsolescence and futurism, framing perfectly Chamberlain’s sensual vocals; the soft cries of a narrator peering through blinds - observing, longing, and waiting for the unknown.
About Johnny Dynamite and the Bloodsuckers
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Johnny Dynamite and the Bloodsuckers is a Philadelphia based post-punk act signed to Born Losers Records. Over the course of their first three albums, Johnny Dynamite has emerged as a succinct storyteller and songwriter. The character’s inside Johnny’s dream world are lucid, manic, and brimming with pangs of nostalgia. Poised against dark and atmospheric instrumentals, his harrowed vocal delivery and lyrics paint a picture of lost youth, hopeless romanticism, and teenage rebellion. Dynamite blends many different genres and connects the dots between different pockets of subculture; equal parts glossy new wave and anthemic rock n’ roll. The Bloodsuckers’ signature beat centric production style incorporates hard hitting drum machines, 80’s style guitar riffs and ethereal retro synth patches. Dynamite’s sound has been compared to legacy acts such as Pet Shop Boys, INXS, Bruce Springsteen and The Cure as well as more modern acts such as MGMT and M83.
