Nova Scotian-based Sound of Pop has signed a sub-publishing agreement with New York-based boutique production house Figure and Groove for representation here.


Founded in 2001, Sound of Pop (SOP) is an award-winning Music Publishing and Master/Sync representation company with a growing catalogue of over 1000 songs by Canadian artists/songwriters including Chris Kirby, Fairgale, Quote the Raven, Brianna Gosse, Chris Ryan, FM Berlin, Candice Sand, and Coco Love Alcorn.

SOP also represents international acts Kidneythieves (US), Voltaire Twins (Australia) and Bettie Serveert (Netherlands) for sync.

Sound of Pop’s Tim Hardy said: “It’s amazing how these things get started. The process began at a meeting with a music biz friend in London, England who subsequently suggested Sound of Pop to another UK colleague of hers who was looking for a Canadian sub-publisher for one of his New York-based clients. After a few emails & Skype calls, we all agreed it was a great fit and signed the agreement on July 1st, Canada Day."

‘CFNY: The Spirit of Radio’ Documentary Captures the Essence of Influential Ontario Rock Station

Now streaming for free via TVO Docs, the documentary focuses on the alternative spirit of the GTA station that made waves in the '80s and '90s before being rebranded as 102.1 The Edge. There are interviews with Rush’s Geddy Lee, Metric's Emily Haines, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley and more.

A new documentary is unpacking the rise of CFNY, the influential radio station born in the suburbs just outside Toronto.

CFNY: The Spirit of Radio focuses on the “golden age of radio in Canada," known as one of the first modern rock radio stations to have a major impact on the airwaves. After being acquired by TVO Docs, the documentary premiered in Canada on Jan. 6 and is also streaming for free via TVO and on YouTube (below).
