The 2019 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Kevan Funk, for his clip for Belle Game’s Low. We will continue to profile noteworthy Canadian videos, including this one from a Hamilton garage rock combo.


Billy Moon - Big Black Hole

Billy Moon is an indie rock band based in the Hamilton, ON, region, one currently on a 10-city US tour. Leader Billy has mentioned in an interview that he tends to make music based on what is currently happening in his life. Stories of his time right here, right now, and that exactly is what this song is. 

Big Black Hole has lyrics that help you to reminisce. A past relationship about a friend, or someone more, the music speaks about how they met, the things they did, and what they shared as two connected people. The group uses Weezer-inspired vocals and pop-guitar riffs to create a mood that is full of angst and confidence.

The video begins with a clip from the 1920s which only furthers the lyrics of reminiscing. Billy is the only band member present in this video, which gives him the chance to execute the message.
