Steve Wilson

[POP] Enigmatic Brit Steve Wilson, perhaps best known as the central figure in Porcupine Tree, is on tour this year supporting his fifth solo disc, To The Bone, also his debut for Caroline International, which dropped in 2017. Apparently inspired by the progressive pop of his youth — in particular, Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love, Peter Gabriel’s So, Talk Talk’s The Colour of Spring and The Seeds of Love by Tears for Fears — the resulting album is unusually upbeat relative to his previous work.

Lowest of the Low

[ROCK] Formed in 1991, Lowest of the Low is considered a seminal force in the 1990’s Canadian alterna-canon, and the edgy jangle-rock of the band’s debut, Shakespeare My Butt, gained near-universal critical accolades while generating quite a bit of radio airplay. The band was heavily shopped by major labels, and they eventually compromised with a distribution deal through A&M for the follow-up, 1994’s Hallucegenia. Since then, they’ve broken up and reunited multiple times.

Death From Above

[PUNK] Since their reunion in 2011, dance-punk band Death From Above (first Death From Above, then Death From Above 1979, now just Death From Above again) have been going strong; releasing the majority of their output as a band since. Their latest, Outrage! Is Now, was released through Last Gang Records in 2017.
