Chersea (Vancouver):
Surrounded by a myriad of instruments, Chersea uses her loop-stations to create ethereal walls of frequencies; all driven by her powerful voice and poetic lyrics, she’s able to conjure a sound like no other. Her soliloquy of personal hardship melts into an experiential production that allows you to connect with yourself and your neighbours in emotional ways you’ve never imagined. Welcome to Chersea’s story. Welcome to your own.

Royal Oak (Vancouver):
On their 2018 release ‘Pretend’, and more recently, on their anthemic new single “White Lies”, Royal Oak has successfully paired indie rock vibes with a modern pop sensibility, presenting music that is clean and controlled, and yet bursting at the seams with energy. this is a band that has clearly found their sound. On 2018’s ‘Pretend’, the band teamed up with producer/mix engineer Ryan Worsley (Dear Rouge, Said the Whale), and crafted standout tracks like “Tell Me”, with its overblown synthy charm, and “Mistakes”, a bubbly duet with Vancouverite songstress Chersea. Not ones to fix something that ain’t broke, the four joined Worsley again for a new batch of songs, pushing things even further into sleek pop territory. Time and time again, the band proves you can craft memorable hooks with an indie aesthetic, while adding a little adventurous spirit into every track.

Garrett Olson (Edmonton):
The Canadian singer/songwriter from Edmonton, AB has established his Lo-fi brand of rousing melodies, warm guitar, and warbly synth that leaves audiences feeling haunted and inspirited. Getting his start with the Little Moments EP released in 2013, he soon relocated to Toronto. Garrett's ever evolving sound took his soft spoken voice and added some punch as heard on 2014's follow up EP, entitled Changes.

After a summer tour in 2014 Garrett went on to form the Toronto garage rock group, The Fallers. The trio released their debut EP in 2015 and embarked on an ambitious 24 date cross Canada tour that saw the group enjoy a steady diet of performing and writing.
In 2016 Garrett, bassist Alex Lakusta, and engineer Josh Bowman would co-produce the full length LP, Get In, Loser - released in September, 2017.

After finding success in the Toronto alternative scene Garrett has now returned to Edmonton to focus on the solo endeavour that started it all; crafting a new sound that shows his maturity with writing, melody, and life in general.

The first single off of his upcoming debut LP, to be released under Antipole Records, is entitled “In Time” and is just the beginning of what is to come in 2019.
