Kingston, Ontario’s post-punk powerhouse The Meringues have released their new single "Royalty". This single is from their eagerly anticipated sophomore album, Pavlova's Dog, which will be available on September 16th, 2024. At the heart of The Meringues are Amanda Pants and Ted Evans, whose dynamic vocal interplay and loveable banter can be construed as intense. Their unique chemistry is supported by the solid rhythm section of Jackson Baird on bass and Alastair Morrison on drums, creating an entertaining atmosphere that threatens to spiral out of control in their artistic vision. The Meringues' sound is sure to impress fans of Pixies, Weezer, The Strokes, The Beaches, Amyl and the Sniffers, July Talk, Wet Leg, Wolf Alice, and PUP.


 “It’s that feeling of having idealized someone, only to discover they didn't deserve it. Or when you thought you knew someone, but they revealed a different side. This song explores the disorienting feeling of realizing you were wrong about someone or something.”Amanda Pants-vocalist


 The recording of "Royalty" took place at multiple locations, including Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Todd's Place in Harrowsmith, and Fake Cake Lodge in Kingston. The drum recording was engineered by Camille Comeau, with additional recording by Ted Evans. Mixing was handled by Ian Docherty, while the mastering was completed by Elisa Kady Pangsaeng at CPS Mastering in Vancouver, BC.


The new video for “Royalty" was directed, shot, and edited by Josh Lyon (Akaflk Productions). Ted Evans shares his experience: “The video shoot was in a beautiful, older building with no air conditioning on one of the hottest days of the year. Working with Josh was fantastic; he really brought the video to life. Jackson, our bassist, was featured prominently, especially in the bass-driven section after the guitar solo, which is one of my favourite parts of the album.” Initially, I didn't think 'Royalty' would make the album, but once the lyrics came together, it took on a different feeling for the band. Alastair and Jackson added parts that quickly made it a standout track. Eventually, we realized 'Royalty' had to be single, and the music video has solidified it as a band favourite.”

  Words from Anselm Anderson Nu-Metal is making a return with a bang. The latest band to embrace the genre that mixed down-tuned guitars with mixing desks and aggressive vocals about personal struggles and social anxieties is Virginia-based sextet,  Saint Diablo.

The Reckoning  is no exception as the band delivers four sizzling tracks of apoplectic rage, thunderous riffs and catchy choruses to set themselves loose on the metal world.

  Words by Anselm Anderson Metalcore act Paradis released their hotly-anticipated self-titled debut EP last week, The quintet combines the raw ferocity of the genre's vocals with the dark atmospheric music of black metal, which is a unique approach to the revived genre, once maligned by metalheads all over. Formed in London, England, the multicultural group consists of vocalist Johnny Weaver, guitarists Pedro Silva and Federico Di Biase, bassist Mark Kuchmenko and drummer Flynn Everard. The band commented on how this was a team effort, reflected over five intense, headbanging tracks. Photo Credit: Michael Williams One notable aspect of this EP is the diversity of the tracks. Paradis delivers powerful and ominous metal with impactful orchestration and bone-shaking breakdowns. The band's creative ideas allow the music to take on a life of its own, showcasing a contrast between aggressive, angst-filled vocals paired with heavy riffs, and melodic vocals set against gothic underton
