Local artist Mark Crickmay's solo project Primary combines spooky new-wave textures with post-punk nuances to create an aggressive sound with well rounded atmospheric edges.
Drawing upon the use of analogue synthesizers and drum machines, Primary takes you to a place that its coveted parent genre's could not find.

Shimmering Stars is a three piece dream pop act from British Columbia, Canada. It is a reinterpretation of the music of the late 1950s and 1960s, with a distinctly modern twist. In a lot of the music of the late 1950s and 1960s there is a darkness just below the surface, though at first glance the songs appear to be wholesome and innocent. Shimmering Stars is an effort to bring out some of these darker elements.

Lovers Love Haters
After leaving former band 'The Organ' and not touching any of her instruments for awhile, Debora Cohen decided "this is not quite right" ...it was time to put together a new project.
With a six song, self titled ep, called "Lovers Love Haters" she is ready for everyone to take a listen. If you liked The Organ you will undoubtedly love 'Lovers Love Haters'.
Debora was a major creative force within the critically acclaimed Organ and now she has a surprise for all those waiting to hear her new project...she sings!
In The Organ, Debora created killer guitar lines and also wrote for the other instruments. Now people will discover Debora has an original and haunting voice as well. Lovers Love Haters is similar to what she did in The Organ but with more driving beats and punchier sounds. The main focus still lies in the simplicity in the melodies of all the instruments.
