January Round-Up: CRB's 10 Best Singles
Sunshine Riot - Looking at the Past
"I'm a big fan of storytelling in music and Sunshine Riot have delivered something that is likeable and danceable but also an insightful and thoughtful listen. "
AUGUSTA - Better Off
" AUGUSTA are Toronto's best kept secret, bursting at the seams with originality and musical ability these guys need to be heard by the masses!"
Wilko Wilkes - Trapped In My Mind
"I appreciate and respect the brutal honesty of 'Trapped In My Mind', the insight into his innermost thoughts and feelings. It's a pensive tune with a catchy, likeable vibe."
Manners and Profanity - What Is Mine
"'What Is Mine' is heavy, raw, grunge infused with stunning, gravelly hard rock vocals. It's polished and professional with intensity that cuts through to your core. It's exhilarating and impassioned."
Kyle Toolan - Outcast
"Its simplicity manages to be just as impactful as far more complex songs and Kyle's vocals, while slightly unpolished, have the most beautiful tone that fits the feel of the song perfectly."
Shadow Smile - Signed In Blood
" It's a well delivered lyric that doesn't take itself too seriously."
Brother Vice - Damage
"'Damage' is probably lyrically the track I've felt most connected to and musically it hones in on my love of jangly guitars. I'm obsessed as I knew I would be. The band just keep getting better, the gift that never stops giving!"
Small Town Saviours - Moving On
"Positive words, raucous yet polished vocals, mega hooks, fuzzy chords, epic riffs and big time attitude with just the right amount of pretentious self assurance."
FLØRE - ZOMBIE
" FLØRE is a force to be reckoned with, a well rounded performer who's definitely going to give the boys a run for their money!"
