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 an acclaimed modern rock band from Winnipeg.


Yes We Mystic - Young Evil

Yes We Mystic is a group of five individuals, Adam Fuhr - Guitar, Vocals, Keegan Steele - Synthesizer, Mandolin, Vocals, Jodi Plenert - Keyboards, Cello, Vocals, Jensen Fridfinnson - Violin, Synthesizer, Guitar, and Jordon Ottenson - Drum Kit, Electronic Drums.

The chaotic and bizarre video shows the band moved by the music coming from the speakers. They are possessed and at times, tortured. As they are in a room spiralling out of control, an alternate version of the band takes the stage in their place.

Executive of the Week: FACTOR's Meg Symsyk on Why Supporting Canadian Music Means Supporting Cultural Sovereignty

The president and CEO of FACTOR, one of Canada's most crucial music funders, explains why it's more important than ever to support homegrown culture and give it the opportunity to compete on the global stage.

When it comes to supporting Canadian music, FACTOR's influence is immeasurable. One of the most crucial funders of art in the country, the non-profit's impact is seen with its logo across countless acclaimed records and its name shouted out at concerts and award shows. But for president & CEO Meg Symsyk, it's not just about supporting Canadian music or even Canadian artists: it's about the sovereignty and identity of the country itself.

“Buying locally is more important than ever because of that consumer awareness and structural support. Canadians need to be encouraged to be more intentional. This last year and a half with the tariffs and the trade wars has put that on everyone's front burner,” she explains.
