I’d Rather Go Blind is the debut single and video for Toronto based artist Sam Casey. “I have been performing this song for years in venues around Toronto as it is one of my favourite songs and lyrically hits me at my core. To be able to record an original rendition of the track that fits my exact feelings when listening to the lyrics was a dream and a privilege. The feelings that emanate from this song are so human and deep inside that singing this can bring me to tears. I can only hope listeners will feel this same connection.” Since being introduced to us by mutual friend Kim Cooke of Revolution Recording, Sam has collaborated with UK producer/songwriter Joe Thompson, Canadian producer/songwriter Mike Schlosser (John Orpheus) and Martha Johnson and Mark Gane of Martha and the Muffins.

We have known Juliana Eye since she was a teenager. It has been amazing to watch her grow as a singer, songwriter, musician and producer since her early days in The Ruby Spirit and as an accompanist for Ghost Caravan. For the forthcoming COVERAMA album, she has recorded one of her favourite songs, Dreaming by Blondie. She has also collaborated with another former member of The Ruby Spirit, filmmaker Jason Cipparrone, who directed the cool black and white video that was shot in Juliana’s basement.

Described as “one of the most innovative of their era,” iconic Canadian artists Martha and the Muffins have announced the release of their new album, Marthology: In and Outtakes — available November 5th!
Groundbreaking from inception, Martha and the Muffins formed during the early days of Toronto’s punk / new wave / art pop scene in 1977. They were the first Canadian band to sign to a UK label, recording their debut, Metro Music, at England’s The Manor Studio, and would go on to tour and receive more than three decades worth of critical acclaim worldwide.
Founding members Martha Johnson and Mark Gane revisited their extensive archives recently, selecting 12 rare or never-before-heard singles, B-sides, and unreleased songs for what has ultimately become Marthology: In and Outtakes — their ninth album, and first in eleven years.
Spanning 35 years of recordings, the 12-track compilation includes previously limited releases of “Summer Of Song,” “Big Day,” and “Do You Ever Wonder,” as well as the 30th anniversary version of JUNO-winning single, “Echo Beach.” In addition, the CD includes the bonus track, “I Am Vertical!”, a demo recorded in 1988 but never released.
Marthology: In and Outtakes is available November 5th, 2021.

Popguru has signed Swedish-raised, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Moa Munoz. Her new project, MOJO, is punchy pop with attitude and a large dose of self-empowerment. MOJO is “what a self-help book would sound like if written by a beat-obsessed whirling dervish”. She has collaborated with Popguru producer/songwriter Mike Schlosser to create songs with bouncing bass lines and hooks that stick like gum! Mojo is your new favourite, confidence-boosting cocktail. The new tracks are available by request. So, reach out.
We are happy to announce that we have signed Toronto-based singer/songwriter Zoe Xandra for sync representation. Her forthcoming EP is called TMI (which stands for Too Much Information) because, in her opinion, it is. She says that, “I’m generally not an openly emotional person or the first one to share my inner thoughts. Each song is personal to me and relates to different life lessons that I’ve gone through. Releasing these personal songs is so out of my comfort zone that it just felt like TMI.” On the EP, Zoe was able to really experiment with different sounds from super stripped back piano and vocals to electronic synth sounds and back to acoustic guitar while still having a cohesive story come through each track including the previously released singles Tokyo, Blah Blah and Better Off Alone.
