CASTLE PROJECT - "Fusing baroque charm with delicate embellishments of cello, synth and bombastic brass, Ryan Ostiguy does the impossible; creating a gorgeous pop record dedicated to the break up of his marriage. Think purer than Pedro the Lion. Think cooler than Coldplay. Think absolute fucking heartbreak." - Zulu Records http://www.castleproject.ca

LOCATOR - Fragmented guitars, glorious melodies and shimmering harmonies. "As far as I could tell, there was this band she'd seen. Something about guitar equations mixed with power tools. Melodies emerging from typewriters. She tried to demonstrate (humming a bit), but she wandered off before I could clarify exactly what it was she was trying to locate..." http://www.locatorband.com

ELIAS - Formerly known as SECOND, Elias deliver a stellar mix of dark, moody vocal melodies, original guitar riffs and haunting keyboards. http://www.eliasband.com

ASTORIA - Emerging from the Vancouver indie music scene, Astoria has quickly cemented an impressive original combination with potent vocal outpourings revealing blissed-out tension that is beautifully cradled by slashing delayed guitar, solid drumming and emotive bass lines. Their anthemic lyrics challenge listeners to awake from modern day slumber and embrace life to the fullest. http://www.astoriaband.com
