#74 - Earth Angel

Angels without wings drive `02 Honda Accords decked in bumper stickers. Or so’s the case for Leah Magnan. That’s pronounced like Leia, the princess, but you can call her EARTH ANGEL. Channeling `90s girl-grunge icons like Hole and Mazzy Star, as well as today’s alt pillars like Wednesday and Blondshell, EARTH ANGEL distills gargantuan feelings, formative years, and the massive beauty of everyday wonders into confident verse. EARTH ANGEL’s work considers that the ethereal can exist in shades of blue, a candle-lit bath, or a needle pulling thread. The angelic exists right here on earth, exactly where you stand.

#71 - Jacques Richer (Screaming at Traffic)

“Here to make you feel good about feeling bad” is a keen observation, turned mantra for Winnipeg emo-punk mainstays, Screaming at Traffic. Formed in the spring of 2017 by longtime friends Duncan Murta, Jacques Richer, Paul Colman and Stefan St. Godard, the band hit the road within a few months, feeding an insatiable hunger to bring their chaotic, energetic live show to a steadily growing fanbase across the country. Songwriters and vocalists, Murta and Richer weave heart-on their sleeve lyrics together with melodic, sharp guitar playing, as bassist Colman and drummer St. Godard tie it all together with a moving, inventive low end combo. The result? A boisterous blend of anthemic punk rock, emo, and indie-rock that invites mosh pits and arm-in-arm-in-arm-over-shoulder singalongs. Their New EP, "Songs To Steal Copper Wire To" is out on May 15th.

#70 - tofusmell

tofusmell is the project from the bedroom of Rae Chen. Inspired by 90s indie-folk music, the acoustic sounds of tofusmell originals incorporate emotive lyrics to comment on and explore slices of life. I fell in love with Rae's lo-fi aesthetic and sharp lyricism on his EP when I first heard it last year. Now he's released his debut album, and it was a pleasure having him in the zone to talk about it! We also talked about his move from Florida to Winnipeg and literal shit. Great chat.
