BORN RUFFIANS

Born Ruffians from Toronto, Canada here. We’re writing to tell you we’ve just finished our third album – Birthmarks.

MARNIE STERN

There’s little doubt that Marnie Stern lives up to her reputation as “the lady who shreds,” but for Marnie, shredding is not enough.

TAME IMPALA

Tame Impala's debut record from 2010, "Innerspeaker," received a tropically warm reception thanks in part to its irreverent, contemporary spin on assumedly dead and forgotten sounds, as well as its unique, infinitely surprising way around a melody. It was youthful, romantic songwriting in a melting technicolour dreamcoat. Critics agreed, with Pitchfork awarding the album its […]
