Keeper E.’s new video for her standalone single, “Fourteen,” is a reminder that youth is wasted on the youth, that all things come to an end, and the people we were a decade ago aren’t the people we are now.

Air Traffic Control Take Aim At the Billionaires With ‘The Rocketeer’
Nova Scotia’s Air Traffic Control are taking their business of policing the skies seriously. If it flies, Kirk Comstock & Co. are going to question its heading, speed, and motive, and nothing has raised their eyebrows quite like this recent batch of billionaires with extraterrestrial aspirations.

Meguro’s Debut Single Is the ‘Forgotten Song’ You Wish Your Friends Would Write About You

Vocalist and guitarist Bob MacKendrick is originally from Summerside, Prince Edward Island, drummer Ian Borak hails from Calgary, Alberta, they currently find themselves based in Toronto with a band named for one of 23 special wards in Tokyo. Unsurprisingly, their debut single, “Forgotten” is about what it’s like to be separated from their friends.
