Apollo Suns
Born of 10 musical minds, Apollo Suns create a refreshing and innovative sound by combining instrumental, jazz, rock and psychedelic music. Winners of the Instrumental Artist of the Year award at the 2018 Western Canadian Music Awards, Apollo Suns create a whirlwind of technical prowess and undeniable groove.
https://apollosunswpg.bandcamp.com/
Silence Kit
Catchy hooks, screams and noise dance amid melodic guitar and raw power as their champion. Silence Kit blends the driving method of early 2000s alternative and the unrestrained vision of post punk, made readily apparent by their intimate and explosive live performances that always deliver, pure and simple.
http://silencekitband.com/
JayWood
The psychedelic groove has shone brightly on JayWood, illuminating a multi-faceted sound with lightning bolts of funk, psych-rock and pop. No longer a bedroom operation, this full-fledged beast thrives on the inbetween. JayWood’s rhythm is ever-changing, but always consistently emerges triumphant in a self-realized dream.
