Check out their new song “Fineshrine” and the previously released “Belispeak” below:

The Lumineers - The Lumineers

If you like catchy folk-rock then I can guarantee that you will like The Lumineers and their self-titled debut which was released on April 4th of this year. My favorite part of the album is a song entitled Ho Hey and you can check out that track via soundcloud and the official video YouTube below:





You can also stream the album in it's entirety right HERE.

Enjoy.

Michael Bernard Fitzgerald - Follow

Over the past 5 or so years Michael Bernard Fitzgerald (MBF) has been steadily growing his fan base across the country. After several full length releases and a couple EPs MBF could be now be considered a force to be reckoned within the Canadian music industry. He recently put on a show at Calgary's Jack Singer Concert Hall which featured over 250 musicians, artists and dancers. These large spectacles, which are put on a couple times a year have been a staple of MBF's formula for some time now. It is nice to see an artist really putting some effort into their craft and creating something that is not usually done.

MBF is set to release a new full length on April 24th entitled Yes. The first single has just been released and it is entitled Follow. The song sticks exactly to what one would expect from Fitzgerald - If you have listened to more than one MBF record you will know what I mean.
