Johnny Kantor

Johnny Kantor, one of Canada's original bad boys, is known to many who were involved in the rock scene of the 80s and 90s. Having recently spent time in South East Asia to focus on his songwriting, he's now back in the studio. With the release of three new original songs, and more on the way this summer, Johnny has created some excellent new rock songs.

Title track "Everybody's Good Lookin'" is a belter that celebrates one of life's cruel truths. "Circuit Board of Life" draws parallels between our real and computer universes. And the bluesier "Midnight Train" will have you in wistful thought before you even finish listening to the first Verse.

Thought provoking lyrics, a soulful voice and powerful chords - Johnny has lost none of his flare and originality. Recently released on all the main streaming platforms, his new tracks are racking up plays.

Gardenhead

Gardenhead's music can best be described as a mix of prog-rock and alternative metal. Not afraid to experiment, they incorporate everything from flamenco rhythms to stoner fuzz in their songs and although the band extends its branches to many genres, the songs are melodic and made with pop sensibilities in mind. The album blends heavy off-kilter riffs with atmospheric textures and dynamic vocal performances. The first single off of the album "The Ordeal" was mixed by Forrester Savell (Karnivool, SkyHarbor). Grammy-winning sound engineer and producer Darrell Thorp (Foo Fighters, Radiohead) was so thrilled by the song that he wanted to mix a new version of it and use it as teaching material on his mixing academy course. The album has been streamed around 25 000 times in the first two weeks from release.

The gardening is done by Andy (drums), Eero (guitar), Antti (bass) and Jonne (vocals and guitar). Currently the fellas are getting ready for their spring and summer tour so stay tuned for that!
