Myles from Home
“Myles from Home is an offspring from the “classic” era of rock, when amps were stacked on amps and the louder you sang, the harder you rocked. Though the Linden, Manitoba native channels his inner rock god, he does so quietly at times, amongst folk-rock instrumentation.” -Gray Owl Point. Often found outside naked (his friends call him Beach Santa), Myles enjoys singing, playing guitar and harmonica and splits his time between measuring neutrons from nuclear fusion experiments and singing songs about love. He’s joined by a rhythm section that keeps it funky and the sound of their three piece could be described as folk rock going on a successful first date with jazz funk.
James Blonde
“So which one of you is James Blonde?”, we get this question all the time. The answer is quite simple: ALL THREE of us! Phil, Steph & Neil comprise the entity that is James Blonde. These multi talented men have been writing bad jokes and great music together forming the band you know as James Blonde. Making their grand entrance onto the music scene in their hometown of Niagara Falls on NYE 2017, with their first concert as James Blonde, they opened for Sam Roberts Band and Serena Ryder. Following their full length self-titled release in 2017, the lead single “Heartbreak” was picked up by major Spotify playlists and Starbucks, adding the song to its in-store radio across the globe. “Sh!tshow”, the bands follow-up single in 2019, reached #96 on the US Top 40 chart.
RETROFILE
By combining the melody driven hooks of 80s pop, the rhythmic pulse of disco and the guitar/synth interplay of 00’s rock, RETROFILE burst onto the alternative music scene in 2017 with the release of their debut single Two Words. Recorded in twin brothers Luke and Noah Martino’s makeshift studio, the single became a suprise word of mouth sensation, garnering hundreds of thousands of streams within months of release and kickstarting their career. In 2019, with a wave of sold out live shows under their belts and an enthusiastic fan base backing them, RETROFILE released their debut EP Heard It All Before. Spawning two successful singles (Running and Heard It All Before), the EP saw the twins invigorate their sound and look with a blend of new wave and modern pop sensibilities. Although the global pandemic halted their live performance ambitions, RETROFILE took the downtime as chance to write and perfect material for their next EP “Lost In Sound” (out September 14 2023). RETROFILE were selected as a showcase act for Canadian Music Week 2023 and will be touring the UK + Western Canada to promote the “Lost In Sound” EP.
