Monowhales - 'Real Love'

By David Farrell

Monowhales – ‘Real Love’ (Independent): This is the second single from the Toronto indie rock band’s June 1 EP release entitled Control Freak.


Indie88 Toronto, The Zone Victoria, Live 88.5 Ottawa, and Rock 95 Barrie are early fans of this infectious upbeat pop song powered by Sally Shaar's indelibly strong vocals performance throughout.

The single was produced by AL-P of MSTRKRFT and recorded during the same session that gave us their previous single “Take It Back,” which peaked at #25 on the Canadian Alternative Rock Charts.

Giving them a leg up, the band plays the CMW kick-off party at Phoenix Concert Theatre with Goodnight, Sunrise, and Matt & Kim on Monday, May 7.

Executive of the Week: Justin West of Secret City Records on the Secrets of Independent Music Success​

The man behind one of Canada's most successful indie labels talks about the late-blooming success of French-language streaming record-holder Patrick Watson, why he builds long-term relationships with artists, and why it's important for the indie sector to work together.

Justin West is a leader and advocate in Canada’s independent music scene, but he didn’t plan it out that way. When he started his record label Secret City Records in Montreal in the mid-2000s, it was out of necessity. He had met an artist he loved and wanted to build a career with, and the label was a means to do it. That artist was Patrick Watson, and 20 years later he — and Secret City — are more successful than ever.

West — a multiple time Billboard Canada Power Player – leads one of the biggest indie labels in Canada while also advocating for the sector on multiple boards both locally and internationally. When we speak to him for this Executive of the Week interview, he’s just returned from Banff for the National Summit on Artificial Intelligence and Culture, and is a central figure in discussions around the Online Streaming Act and collective negotiations with online streaming platforms.
