Electric City Underground, AKA Paul Charron, Kirk Comstock and Jordi Comstock, AKA Air Traffic Control After Dark, have released a new video for “The Beat” from their ninth EP (the appropriately titled 9). Well into the territory of dance music, the song is a celebration unto itself and a self-actualized argument for escapism that needs no justification beyond its own existence, but the fact that we’re living in 2020 certainly helps.

Single: Owen Meany’s Batting Stance Returns With a Fine Art Fallout on ‘He(art) Attack’
The first single from Owen Meany’s Batting Stance in nearly four years unfolds like a two-minute comprehensive first-year course in art history.

Halifax-based award-winning singer-songwriter (and social media innovator) Dave Carroll, best known for his world-famous song, “United Breaks Guitars,” has released a new video today. His new song, “When The World Stop Ending” is a challenge to re-examine your priorities, whatever matters most, and how you want to invest the time that you have, particularly as we all imagine how to move forward in a post-COVID world.
