Indie Music Monday – King Dylan

Indie Music Monday - King Dylan

Categories: Indie Music Monday | Posted by: Jenavive

On Friday, Vicki Volt and I made our way to Mount Royal University’s bar The Hub to catch King Dylan’s CD release show in support of “Looking For the Sun”. This is King Dylan’s fourth solo album and takes us to subjects a little deeper than his previous releases. His first single and video off the album is “Blind Man”.

On stage his delivery of Alternative Hip Hop/Pop is full of boundless energy. Lead singer of Broken Ride, Graham Furber, joined him onstage to keep the entire room bouncing along to the fun filled set. We wish him well as he sets off for Canada Music Week and hope his album is a huge success!

Openers Septembryo played a new song they dubbed “great for working out to” which I super loved. I can’t wait to harass the guys for a copy of the track.

And a new discovery for me was the band Penny Fortune. The Hip Hop Rock duo blew me away.

Check out the video for “Blind Man!”  (and yes that’s him painting)

Get in touch with King Dylan!

Calgary Rockers – The Implicate Order

We recently discovered a new female fronted indie rock band from Calgary named The Implicate Order.  After a quick listen to their 7 track album ‘Hollow Process’ on bandcamp, we were all hooked.  Their music is reminiscent of early No Doubt alt rock feel, mixed with Paramore style vocals.

They sound great on the record, and even better live. The guys and I were able to make it out to their recent gig at Lord Nelson’s Pub on 8th ave. The show was high energy, and filled with intricate playing and headbanging breakdowns. It’s impossible not to groove on the dance floor while they rock out.

The band consists of mega hot vocalist and rhythm guitarist Christina Lacowicz, guitarist Gene Lachica, bass player Tyler Allard and drummer Josh Nadeau.

I cannot wait to share the stage with them at our EP release party, at Dickens Pub on February 28th. Dancing pants required.

Music

My personal favorites are Boardwalk and Wrong Hole.

 


If you like what you hear, you can buy the album ‘Hollow Process’ for $5 on Bandcamp, or stream it for free!

Indie Music Monday - Cobra Ramone

[WARNING: This article contains loud guitar and racy subject matter that may cause readers to start car chases or develop severe Kinemortophobia.]

Cobra Ramone is full of rock and roll badassery. She proves that girls can rock as hard as boys and look sexy doing it. On stage she is joined by Big Daddy Deachman (drums) and Trevor Snakedust (hammond B3) for dirty guitar driven blues-rock and vocals that any singer would be envious of.

Currently based out of Vancouver, Canada, Cobra is recording new music and touring all over North America. Make sure you go see her and the boys when they visit your city! For updates on shows and other band debauchery follow them on twitter.

Her latest record is a self-titled face-melting 10-track chronicle about the apocalypse, zombies and ‘boys-are-dicks’ type songs that can be previewed and purchased at http://cobraramone.com/

My personal picks are: Cobras (http://cobraramone.com/track/cobras) and fan fave Wrath Like a City (http://cobraramone.com/track/wrath-like-a-city-2) that will have you blasting your car speakers and singing along by the first chorus.

You can find her music on bandcamp or listen to her song: “I’m the one” on youtube, if you prefer.

Music

My personal picks are Cobras and fan fave Wrath Like a City that will have you blasting your car speakers and singing along by the first chorus.
