The PepTides present “Sooner Or Later,” an awesome, perfectly styled music video for their song of the Ottawa band’s Galapagos Vol. 1 album.

Local band Violentene (made up of multi-instrumentalist Roland M. and vocalist MvriJo) just dropped a new video for their latest single “Delusions,” a self-described “intense, beat-driven” slice of ’80s-inflected synthpop that’s perfect for a nighttime drive, with dreamy yet urgent vocals floating over the thumping bass, layered synths, and zingy electric guitar. It’s a whole mood and I am into it.

“Hold My Breath” is a new single by local folk and roots singer songwriter Lynne Hanson. Check out the music video, which shows Lynne performing her song interspersed with archival family footage.
