Odium
From: Montreal
Song: Insomnia
Song: No Way Out
Founded in 2006 by drummer Joe Mullen and vocalist Tom Emmans, ODIUM was born in order to create a focused project centered on the themes of growth and attrition. After being joined by bassist Dale Burrows and guitarists Bo Louther and Andrew Fullerton, it was clear the band was quickly becoming a cohesive group of musicians that had found their strengths in each other’s abilities to contribute to the writing process.
Over the years, ODIUM has opened for such well known bands as Alexisonfire, The Agonist, Beneath the Massacre, Divinity, Moneen, Fuck the Facts, Fairwell to Freeway and Arise and Ruin.

The Michael Patrick Band
From: Windsor ON
Song: Welcome to My Life
Song: Do What you Want
These songs came from an album that was released June 2012.   The band toured with national acts Honeymoon Suite, Glass Tiger, and Mick Taylor from the Stones on his solo project to name a few.


Daniel Bryant
From: London ON
Song: I’ll Take Your Hand
Song: One More Chance
Played on IRC 5 (your eyes)
These two tracks from the New album  Mirror (light)
Out of the “Darkness” and into the “Light”...

       Daniel Bryant returns with the release of his sixth full length album,
“MIRROR”.  The double concept album, co-written and produced with Erien
Eady-Ward, skips effortlessly across musical genres as it leads us on an
emotional journey of redemption from “Darkness” to “Light”.
       The character driven concept behind the stories of MIRROR carries the
listener from uncomfortable worlds of pain and anger to an almost
spiritual rebirth of love and hope.
       As we experience MIRROR’s 2 hour musical odyssey, the compilation of 18
songs allows us a look into the lives of these characters, and at the
same time, encourages a reflection on our own lives.

Song:Gypsy

Shattervox
From: Toronto ON
Song: My Love is Like a River
Song: Before There Was No After
Shattervox kick out the jams with muscular classic rock flair. With a sound so minimal it's monumental, Shattervox's first single "Grand Mal Seizure" carries on the tradition of 60's garage rock and proto-punk acts. Much like their live performances, the debut album "Before There Was No After" carries with it a sense of palpable tension - a nervous energy with a message.


James Hutchison
From: New Waterford, NS
Song: Until I See You
Born and raised on the east coast of Canada, he has always had a fascination for rhythm and melody. Self taught piano and guitar helped him to forge a intimate curiosity with music. While touring Canada with various bands, he found myself writing original music that inspired him to push forward with a career in song writing. With the release of "Until I see You", he hopes to share his passion with the world.


Sunminds
From: Trois-Rivières and Montreal QC
Song: Price for Freedom
Danny Bourassa gives us his second album from his project SUNMINDS. He is accompanied by the talented percussionist Michelle Bouchard and guitarist Mike Coté. The new ep has 6 new songs including a title in French entitled "sleeping forever.’
A launch for the new ep that the song price for freedom came from will be held in Montreal in 2013, followed by a Canadian tour thereafter. The next album LP looks entirely francophone and
should be available by the end of 2013.
