Broken Social Scene Return with ‘Halfway Home’

Toronto collective Broken Social Scene make their return after a seven year gap with the new single 'Halfway Home'. Nothing short of monumental, the grand dash of pop and indie is the band perfectly in unison as they start a new chapter following their stellar 'Forgiveness Rock Record', released back in 2010.

Check Out STACEY’s ‘First Move’

In late 2013, Toronto singer STACEY dropped her self-titled debut EP, a mellow dealing of mood-driven pop. Making her return with a fresh, new single called 'First Move', the sultry song deals with the beginning stages of getting to know someone before completely crossing the line of love. Led by STACEY's slick vocals and hazy pop production, the track is taken from her forthcoming EP. Have a listen.

The Weeknd ‘Party Monster’ Video

Aside from topping the charts and being caught up in celebrity gossip regarding singer Selena Gomez, The Weekend has released the official video for his single 'Party Monster'. The BRTHR-directed visuals are definitely on the weirder side of the fence as flickering effects coincide with clips of girls dressed in sexy attire, and even a cougar jumping out of a TV screen. This is sort of like experiencing a trip without the "substances".

Ikonika Remixes Austra’s ‘Utopia’

Toronto's Austra is gearing up for the release of her new album 'Future Politics', out January 20th via Domino Records. Having shared the track 'Utopia' last month, London producer Ikonika now transforms the single into a thumping future bass meets grime remix. Using stretched synths to coincide with slow, skippy drums, this version is a head-nodder that will make you want to turn your speakers up quite loud. Check it out.

Austra ‘Utopia’ Video

The latest video for Austra's single 'Utopia' is definitely a weird one. Sure some people will find that being in an all-white room knocking over a glass of water and eating worms a utopian experience, we're going to say that it kind of resembles either a take on heaven or a modern psych ward. The video is directed by Noe and Paul & Stefan Moore of That Go.

The Weeknd ‘False Alarm’ Video

Remember the days when The Weeknd released NSFW type videos that either contained a vast amount of hedonism or slightly violent imagery. Well it seems as if he's returned to his old self with his latest Ilya Naishuller-directed video 'False Alarm'. Whilst there isn't much happening in terms of hedonistic episodes, there is a whole heap of violence as the video is shot from a first person perspective and entails a group of men robbing a bank, shooting people and having a battle with authorities. It kind of looks like a live version of a video game.
