🎧 Callum Pitt – ‘Fault Lines’

Posted on by

We recently came across Newcastle singer/songwriter Callum Pitt and we’re certainly glad we did. His latest single is a rather infectious number that blends elements of folk, pop and alternative to create an incredibly cohesive sound.

The song “is directed at the UK government and right-wing press who have incited hatred and division in the public through their rhetoric over the past few years in particular.”

Check out Fault Lines in the embed below and be sure to hit up his socials for more going forward.

🎧 Speaker Face – ‘Phosphorescence’

Posted on by

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Toronto by way of Vancouver indie-electronic outfit Speaker Face. Good news for us… the wait is over. The 3-piece is back with a groovy new track and we couldn’t wait to share it with you.

“Phosphorescence is a thank you letter to those who were here long before us, specifically the Coast Salish, and the early 1900s Japanese settlers, who were interned during WWII.”

Check out the song in the embed and be sure to hit up their socials to show your support. Let’s hope more music is on the way.

📹 TBT: Think About Life – ‘Sweet Sixteen’ (2009)

Posted on by

Back in the early days of The iM, you would often find the music of Montreal indie-rockers Think About Life playing somewhere… whether it was in the car, at home or during our online radio broadcasts.

Many bands defined the sound of The iM when we first started back in 2009 and these guys were definitely one of them. Their music never gets old and in our eyes, will forever be an important part of the Canadian musical landscape.

Check out our favourite album cut Sweet Sixteen, from their second album Family, in the embed below. You can also follow them over on their socials to show your support. The guys came out of hiding over the last couple of years to play a few shows… maybe we’ll hear from them again?
