Joel Plaskett - Lightning Bolt

The creation of Scrappy Happiness has now matured like a fine wine as the 10th and final track of the album has been released. The new song is called Lightning Bolt and it features driving electric guitars and is the 'rock' song of the album. Clocking in at over 6 minutes it is sure to please your ears.

You can find the new song over on the CBC Music Website.

The past 10 weeks has given listeners a peek into the world of Joel Plaskett and the process through which this album was made. He has created a record that is well rounded and listenable. There hasn't been a track on the album that I find myself skipping.

Congrats Joel, Scrappy Happiness has lived up to the hype.

Check out the other 9 tracks HERE.

Joel Plaskett - Scrappy Happiness

Joel Plaskett is getting set to release his new record entitled Scrappy Happiness. The first single, You're Mine, is available for streaming and you can check it out over on the CBC Radio 2 Website.

Over the next 10 weeks Joel will be producing a song a week for the new album, with all of the tracks being featured on CBC Radio 2 and 3. Back when rock and roll was still just a baby, bands would release songs as fast as they could to the public after recording them - Joel is trying that approach for himself. Keep your ears open if you listen to either of those stations for his upcoming stuff.

4/13 Victoria, BC - Alix Goolden
