The Setlist for February 21, 2025


Not news

I picked the best night to watch the one hockey game I’ll see this year. That was a wild, fun and satisfying matchup. Now it’s baseball season.

This is also the time of year when the release calendar heats up. I’ve got more music queued up to write about than I have time for. Today’s new EPs from naya mo and Mood Bored will likely wind up on this site in the next couple weeks. I’ve been working on something about the Slow Dance Records sampler too, which is a pretty diverse collection of music.

Now that

If you’ve got something I should hear, reach out.

Standouts

“Troubleshoot” by Quotas
Second single from the Ontario band, with an EP due next Friday.

“Don’t Wanna Love” by The Boojums
Love that 50s rock and roll sound. And the tracksuits. And the silliness of the video.

“Hot Friend” by Smile
The first I’ve heard this band. This song sounds like it was designed by a team of scientists to wind up on this site.
