Corridor: Topographe

By Kerry Doole

Corridor - Topographe (Bonsound/Sub Pop): On Friday (Oct. 18), this Montreal alt-rock trio releases its album Junior with Bonsound in Canada and Sub Pop internationally, marking the first time that the famed US label has signed a francophone band.


The affiliation has already paid off, as this current single is currently #1 on US Alt commercial radio. Helping the cause is a highly striking animated video starring the band, directed by group member Jonathan Robert.

The track features vigorous ringing guitars and echoing vocals, with the results a tad evocative of the '80s Manchester sound. The fact it is sung in French will likely hamper its chances of modern rock radio play here, which would be a pity.

The album is produced by Emmanuel Éthier, engineered by Samuel Gemme, and mixed by Éthier and Gemme in Montreal at ReelRoad Studios.

Corridor begins international touring in Philadelphia on Oct. 23, with Canadian shows set for Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, and Vancouver. More information here

‘I’ve Always Had A Special Love for Toronto’: 6 Best Moments From Dua Lipa at Scotiabank Arena

The British pop star returned to the city for the first time since 2022, taking over one of the country’s biggest arenas for the first of two shows — and she commanded the stage with ease.

Dua Lipa has returned to Toronto.

In 2022, the British pop star performed at Scotiabank Arena for two nights in 2022, supporting her sophomore album Future Nostalgia. While it ended in multiple injuries from unauthorized fireworks, it was a welcome upgrade from Lipa’s 2018 show at the now-defunct Echo Beach. Three years later, she’s taking the same arena stage with new material.
