Band: Daniel Bryant
Song: Your Eyes
From: London Ontaio
http://www.danielbryant.ca/
https://www.facebook.com/danielbryantmusic
Daniel grew up wanting to be a singer. Originally from Oshawa Ontario, he moved to London for grade 9. The following year he picked up a pen and started to try writing music. And that’s where things started. Years later, his dream still mostly a secret in 2004 when he finally let other people listen to some of his song. When they complimented his singing, he thought they were just being nice. Those reactions from people eventually gave Daniel the confidence he needed to put together an album and release it. In 2005 he released 21 years and counting. Then in 2006 he released Every Town.
Daniel’s full discography and biography are on his web site.
Currently if you head over to Facebook, and like his page, he has a free MP3 to download.
Band: Unicite
Song: Melody
From: Montreal QC
http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/343172/unicite
Born on earth. Children of nature and peace. Blended with computers, wires and waterhood.
Working with heart, fingers and a mental airplane, collecting samples.
Virtually marching our world around, listing. Sharing is easy, creating is positive.
Everyone down here have something to discover from each other.
Band: Chasing Eidolon
Song: Supernaova

@ChasingEidolon
Alvin Man - Lead Vocals/ Rhythm Guitar/ Keyboard
Angelo Yue - Lead Guitar/ Back-Up Vocals
Andrew Choy - Bass Guitar
Manuel Lee - Drums
Chasing Eidolon was formed in May 2008. We spent most of the summer rehearsing and writing original material as well as playing a few shows. We just finished recording our debut EP in November.
From the start we were not locked into the idea that our music had to sound a certain way or fit into an already established niche. Instead we decided to write and play any type of music that appealed to us. The four of us are of Asian descent but were born and/or grew up in Canada. We each enjoy different types of music and we find that this lends a diversity in sound that is evident in our songs.
Band: Jamie Rumley
Song: Thank You
From: West St Paul MB
http://www.jamierumley.com/
http://ca.myspace.com/jamierumley
https://www.facebook.com/jamierumleymusic
http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/351841/jamie-rumley
For as long as she can remember, Jamie Rumley heard her parents playing the music of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and The Rolling Stones around their home in the small community of West St. Paul, MB. Before long she was singing in Church and School choirs and later playing the bass guitar, piano and alto saxophone (which earned her several awards at a young age). But her inspiration to pick up the guitar and begin penning her own music came from listening to artists like Sheryl Crow, Janis Joplin and The Cranberries.
She has come a long way since those choir days. After completing an Audio Engineering Program in 2002, Rumley wrote, recorded and produced her debut album Out of the Ordinary. The first single, ”Anywhere But Here,” is still a fan favourite and ended up being featured on her next project, which did not arrive until several years later.
After a long hiatus from music making, she found her way back to her roots in 2008 and recorded her follow-up album: an EP entitled Renovations. Produced by Adam Halstrom (Pollution Lake Sound) and featuring six songs which could all be categorized in dierent genres, the project ties together surprisingly well and was received with open arms in Canada and all over Europe. After the release of Renovations came a spring “Compilation Tour” of Western Canada with fellow Winnipegger, Lindsey White, who also contributed lead guitar to the project.
Three years later Rumley has written yet another entirely new collection of songs. Her latest offering, What Are You Waiting For, was recently released in Canada and sees her moving in a fresh direction with the help of long time producer Adam Halstrom. Rumley collaborates again with White (piano/vocals), as well as a Toronto based artist who co-wrote the single “Back to You,” with the multi-talented Halstrom contributing bass, drums, vocals, guitar and some piano. Clearly her most polished effort to date, What Are You Waiting For contains ten well crafted and neatly produced songs spanning several musical genres; all distinctly ‘Jamie Rumley.’ Ranging from straight forward rock to dreamy folk-pop to suped up versions of classic folk, the album combines elements of all her influences painted on an edgier indie rock backdrop that demands an attentive ear through and through. Jamie Rumley’s bittersweet lyrics and diverse music might remind you of her favorite artists but her uniqueness makes her a genre all her own.
Band: Trench Town Oddities
Song: Never Let You Fall
From: Cornwall, Ontario, CA

Biography
Formed in early 2005, the Trench Town Oddities are the brainchild of Sean Harley, a reformed rocker who's past claims to fame include sharing the stage with some of North America's biggest acts (Sum41, April Wine, L.A. Guns, Voi Vod, ect), recording in world class studios (Metalworks, Phase One, Distortion), as well as having music picked up by various TV Shows (Witchblade), extreme sports videos
(Snowmobiling Canada), and TV Appearances (Tom Green)."Its amazing what we've accomplished over such a short period of time" states Harley, he adds "The funny part is that this project was meant only to be a way to have fun without the pressures of trying to be the next big thing. We never really planned on writing our own material, it just sort of happened." And happened it did. During the early stages of the band, because they didn't have enough material to play an entire evening, Harley and ex percussion/drummer Randy Lalonde would often fill in the night by jamming on original compositions from Harley. The new members of the band are Kevin Gibeau on bass, Shave Levac on Drums and BIX on lead guitar liked the songs so much that they convinced Harley to record them as a band and see how they turn out. So, on a cold December night, armed with their instruments, a case of their favorite beverage and some super hot Kettle Chips, the boys entered Silver Nichol Studios and proceeded to bang out 2 songs, "Never Let You Fall" and "Working Again". Both songs were completed that evening. Unsure what to do with these songs the band proceeded to burn copies of the songs onto CDs and hand them out for free at their shows. The reaction was immediate and overwhelming; people seemed to really enjoy this breath of fresh air the Oddities were injecting into their music. So, spurred on by the re-action of the "one night experiment", the Oddities casually set into action a plan to have a completed debut CD by early 2007. And, true to form, the Oddities proceeded in their trade mark laid back fashion and completed the CD in 8 months.
So, with the release date of "Days & Nights" quickly approach, this band of misfits can't help but be pleased with the way things are developing. Their song "Working Again" has remained on the charts at popular music site GarageBand.com since early September 2006 and continues to climb the Folk Rock and Pop charts. They have also recently been selected for the latest round of Clear Channel Music's NEW! program, which is a online showcasing on Clear Channels "Hits" oriented radio's websites. Between their band website and the very popular MySpace.com, the band has garnered in excess of over 2000 fans from all over the world. Finally, both "Working Again" and "Never Let You Fall" have both been picked up by publishing companies Pump Audio and Noteborn Music, who's clients include MTV, Nike, ABC, Spike TV, IBM, and many others.
Only time will tell what the future holds for the Trench Town Oddities but one thing is for sure, if the last year is any indication of what they can expect, these boys are in for one heck of a ride!

Heather Dale
So some of you may recognize the name in the title. Heather Dale. I've known Heather for 15+ years now. I've watcher her musical career grow. Her vocal skills never fail to amaze me.
On November 11th, I was able to make it to Hamilton Ontario and enjoy Heather's Celtic Christmas show. I was also able to record the show, though I have not yet had the time to go back and listen to the audio and see if it is podcast worthy yet.
As musicians, Heather and Ben have done something amazing. They've put together a project. They're calling it the Perpetual Gift. What is it? An album of their music that they are encouraging their fans to down load, burn CDs and share with as many people as they can. Or share the music files, or send people to the web site to get the CD. So if you want to.... Perpetual Gift That's the link for the music... or you can just goto Heathers page and look around. Heather Dale
I'd love to recommend if you're in North America that you check out the upcoming tour dates and see her live. Tour Dates
It's been many years since I've seen Heather perform live, and not at an SCA event. Last time it was just Heather, her Piano and I think. She has a few new albums out that I will be getting should I make it to her show in Waterloo Ontario on December 8th. Maybe I'll record again with video!

Insomnia Radio Show 4 - Doing it ALL myself
IR Canada Show 4
Well, this week things are a bit exciting. I'm actually uploading the show myself and posting show notes myself. As well, we're trying something new this week. Bedding music, and playing creative commons music and submitting it to CC Hits!
* IR: Canada page *
Band: The Rosy Red
Songs: Cavin’ In, Cloud Day
http://therosyred.bandcamp.com/
http://www.facebook.com/TheRosyRed
http://www.youtube.com/user/Therosyredmusic
The Rosy Reds are four 22-23 year olds from Brantford Ontario. Real rock n roll kids just trying to stay out of trouble and play exciting music.
Brandon Rose on bass and vocals
Cliff Rutherford on drums
Jordan Reuben on lead guitar and vocals
Keith Moffat on rhythm guitar.
The songs you heard were live off the floor with no click track and over dubbed vocals. While recording cavin' part of the ceiling caved in and nearly killed us. The rest of our songs will be recorded completely live to get our real sound and vibe.
I enjoyed the older sound this group had. They were full of energy and it was hard not to get up and dance while listening to their music. I hope they keep doing exactly what they're doing now because the music is great! The image below the band shared with it. Its from when they were recording the song "Cavin' In" The roof litterally did try to cave in on them.
Band: SoundSwitch
Songs: High, Smile
http://www.soundswitchmusic.ca/
BIO:
Formed in 2006, SoundSwitch consists of friends Darren Trudeau and Rob Stewart.
They first met at the Music Industry Arts program at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, Canada in the mid 90's. After a promise to record together seriously after a some fun, yet promising ‘practice’ recordings in college, they lost touch.
A decade passed, when by chance, Rob, a pianist and recording engineer, and Darren a touring guitarist and singer met up again and decided once and for all to join together to record their first EP "Run" in 2010. A full length second album "Walk Into Now" was released in 2012.
SoundSwitch is a fusion of the talents that Darren and Rob each bring to the table. Darren had a long history as a touring musician, and Rob had recorded and mastered music for many artists over the years. Their juxtaposition of live performance and recording studio viewpoints brings them a unique sound.
They recorded a carefully selected group of cover tunes that reflect their most formative years (the 70’s and 80’s) as well as original songs that take on the same feel, albeit with a modern, yet retro feel. The covers are not purely "remakes". SoundSwitch seeks to breath new life into classic songs by imparting their own unique character and high production value to each piece of music they produce.
Both Rob and Darren are multi-instrumentalists, and depending on the song, it could be Darren on the drums, Rob on the acoustic guitar, or Darren on Bass and Rob on the keyboards. “Whatever feels right and whatever works for the song” is their method of operation.
And SoundSwitch supports artists across the board. Every cover that SoundSwitch produces is licenced via LimeLight.com, ensuring that the original composers and publishers of the songs continue to benefit from any future sales realised through SoundSwitch's efforts.

I found Michale's music to be simply beautiful, stunning, wonderful, emotional and so many other things. I was thrilled when I got to listen to his music and share it with everyone. I really hope that he keeps composing and sharing music with the world.

They first met at the Music Industry Arts program at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, Canada in the mid 90's. After a promise to record together seriously after a some fun, yet promising ‘practice’ recordings in college, they lost touch.
A decade passed, when by chance, Rob, a pianist and recording engineer, and Darren a touring guitarist and singer met up again and decided once and for all to join together to record their first EP "Run" in 2010. A full length second album "Walk Into Now" was released in 2012.
SoundSwitch is a fusion of the talents that Darren and Rob each bring to the table. Darren had a long history as a touring musician, and Rob had recorded and mastered music for many artists over the years. Their juxtaposition of live performance and recording studio viewpoints brings them a unique sound.
They recorded a carefully selected group of cover tunes that reflect their most formative years (the 70’s and 80’s) as well as original songs that take on the same feel, albeit with a modern, yet retro feel. The covers are not purely "remakes". SoundSwitch seeks to breath new life into classic songs by imparting their own unique character and high production value to each piece of music they produce.
Both Rob and Darren are multi-instrumentalists, and depending on the song, it could be Darren on the drums, Rob on the acoustic guitar, or Darren on Bass and Rob on the keyboards. “Whatever feels right and whatever works for the song” is their method of operation.
And SoundSwitch supports artists across the board. Every cover that SoundSwitch produces is licenced via LimeLight.com, ensuring that the original composers and publishers of the songs continue to benefit from any future sales realised through SoundSwitch's efforts.

Born in Edmonton, spent many years in Calgary before moving to the US. My music is featured on over 50+ international radio stations and several in Canada including the CBC Galaxie Spa channel. My current release, "Time" has been in the charts at zonemusicreporter.com most of the year.
I found Michale's music to be simply beautiful, stunning, wonderful, emotional and so many other things. I was thrilled when I got to listen to his music and share it with everyone. I really hope that he keeps composing and sharing music with the world.

The Silence Industry was started by Graham Jackson after releasing three albums as Droom which had a similar sound though still different in its own right. The Silence Industry does not have a record label, it is distributed free via the internet through its MySpace page by Graham himself. All of the material is available for download.
