“Montreal’s Mint Simon (Caveboy) showcases some genuine pop songwriting chops throughout their debut solo release.”

“Whatever makes us funkier, whatever makes us heavier, whatever makes us more revolutionary, I’m going to do it.”

“Lucy Dacus’s fourth album comes complete with a Hozier duet and songs about her feelings for her Boygenius bandmate Julien Baker.”

“Step-children of the NYHC movement, students of hip hop and Black music, and map-keepers of New York’s underground, Rebelmatic leave no meat on the bone.”

“N NAO dives into concepts of fire and love, creating songs that feel like snapshots of a strange universe ruled by combustion and attraction.”

“Catchy dance punk and disco glam rock that brings to mind the work of artists like T-Rex and Boney M.”

“Are many other cities producing danceable post-punk like Montreal these days? Not likely — and the third album by Choses Sauvages is further proof.”
