Another Hit From Postdata

Leave a comment

Paul Murphy has really been on a tear musically over the last several years with his now full time project known as POSTDATA. A couple of years ago he dropped one of my albums of the year, which included one of my favorite songs of 2021, “Inside Out.” Now into 2023, Murphy has already released the poppier tune “Mine the Sea,” and returns yet again today with this more mellow beauty called “Try.” The track is sure to hit you in the heart feels today as it slowly grows organically into a lovely crescendo with empowering lyrics.

POSTDATA’s new album Run Wild is due out on 9/22 via Paper Bag Records. Pre-orders are live now.

POSTDATA Returns with New Single & Video

Leave a comment

Back about 2 years ago, Nova Scotian musician Paul Murphy released his third stunning LP Twin Flames under his recording moniker POSTDATA. Much to my delight, Murphy just announced his fourth LP away from Wintersleep and has also brought with it this new single “Mine the Sea.” Not surprisingly, the track offers a breath of lightness with hints of joy and love within the driving pop sounds. GEM.

This song will appear on the new album Run Wild due out in September on Paper Bag Records.

Introducing: The Drug Rugs

Leave a comment

The Drug Rugs are a five piece, jangly indie rock band hailing from Halifax north of the border. Though the band is young and new to the scene, you’ll immediately notice an incredibly grown up and mature sound. Take for example this new single “Sandbar”. It manages to blend elements of driving rock like Springsteen with more modern sounds of shoegaze and pop music. It’s a beautifully constructed track.

The Drug Rugs are currently hard at work on their debut EP with a potential release date in the fall.
