New Music Thursday

Exploding out of their hometown of Toronto, JUNO Award-winning band MONOWHALES have been putting a new lease on the alt rock genre. They recently completed a Canada-wide tour as direct support to grandson, leading into their headline tour of the USA and Canada this fall.

“When I’m on tour, I get to surround myself with the most accepting and welcoming people on earth,” vocalist Sally Shaar explains. “I feel so heard, so supported. ‘Hear Me Out’ explores how difficult it is for me to live without that outlet.” Their new single is “classic MONOWHALES evolved,” guitarist Zach Zanardo adds. “Emotional, proud, explosive.”

In the 90s, iconic artist Chin Injeti fronted the R&B group Bass is Base which had fans all over the world and garnered him a deal with Canada’s Universal Music and Island Records in the United States. During that time, Bass is Base won a JUNO (Canadian Grammy) for Best R&B record and a MuchMusic Video award for their song “Funkmobile.” Additionally, Chin was dubbed SOCAN’s Songwriter of the Year… but this was just the beginning of his success.

His latest EP, VESSELS: Volume Two, includes the melancholic yet humorous single “For Better or For Worse” (feat. YBTB). Life doesn’t always work out the way you planned. Evidently, you are not the same person you were when you were in your 20s or 30s. Chin and YBTB have crafted the perfect message that represents who they are and who they’ll be moving forward.
