LOCAL SPOTLIGHT: Slightest Clue
Slightest Clue is a Vancouver-based band that has been cutting their teeth at a number of local venues.
Q&ASAP: Plastic Picnic
Plastic Picnic is here to remind us that there is duality to everything in life. To start off, the four-piece band is based in Brooklyn but has roots in the Pacific Northwest. They’d describe their sound as a ‘sunset cocktail of sad music to dance to’ – reflected beautifully in their debut full-length record, ‘As Long As You Need’. Last but not least, their music is a reminder that there is always room for hope, even in the worst of times. Plastic Picnic will be kicking off their West Coast tour next week, starting with a show in Vancouver at Fox Cabaret on September 19th.
Q&ASAP: anders
To say that anders has had a busy year might be an understatement. The Mississauga native has added a few notable accomplishments to his resume this year, including an artist ambassador role with Puma, a new deal with Warner Music Canada, and completed a national headline summer tour.
Q&ASAP: Field Guide
There’s a quality to Field Guide’s songwriting that earnestly draws you in. There’s a feeling of nostalgia and comfort in his songwriting that makes listening to his music feel like being wrapped up in your favourite blanket. Field Guide was kind enough to answer a few questions for us via email ahead of opening a trio of shows for Bahamas in Halifax.
Q&ASAP: Mauvey
It always comes back to love. UK and Vancouver-based Mauvey is on a mission to distribute love through his music. This intention comes through in the creative narratives in his songwriting, which has received acclaim from BBC Introducing on Radio 1, Exclaim! and other outlets.

The band will be supporting JPNSGRLS at The Media Club next Friday March 27th. ACRONYMS were kind enough to answer a few questions via e-mail.
Q&ASAP: Michelle Chamuel
If Michelle Chamuel looks familiar, it is likely not a coincidence. Chamuel was the runner-up on the fourth season of NBC’s The Voice, putting her own spin on some of pop’s biggest hits. Prior to her television appearance, Chamuel was the lead singer of Ann Arbor based band, Ella Riot. She reunited with her former band mates Tyler Duncan and Theo Katzman to work on her debut studio album, Face The Fire, which was released earlier this week.

Q&ASAP: Olivver
It’s all in the details. That is certainly the case with Bryan Sammis, better known these days as Olivver. From being on the back burner to bringing his ideas to actuality, the project had been a work in progress for Sammis.
