Vancouver band Winona Forever is one of my favorite discoveries of this year. With two EP’s under their belt and a new EP on the way, “Heads Or Tails” is Proving to be their strongest single yet. With jazzy horns, a groovy bass line and some of the best drumming I’ve heard from an indie band in a while. Winona Forever is rising fast.

Bet She Looks Like You – Nick Hakim
17 April 2018
Where do I start? Nick Hakim’s soulful voice hit me like a truck. So
much so that I remember where I was when I first heard him. I was
trying Japanese shaved ice for the first time (Not a fan) and this
song was playing in the store. Me being a music nut I got up out of my
seat and politely demanded the name of the song. I immediately put it
into my playlist and had it on repeat for days.

Cool – Zack Villere
13 March 2018
Zack Villere first caught my attention with his video for his song cool. A wonky electronic jam about feeling uncool.

Not only is the song super catchy but the video is the most awkward thing I’ve seen all year…
