Toronto roots-rock ensemble The Strumbellas release a new single, "Salvation," on Nov. 30, on their own imprint, Underneath A Mountain Records, which is under exclusive license to eOne Music for Canada. 


The partnership with eOne is new, and Chris Taylor, Global President, Music, Entertainment One, pledges in a press release stated that “we are going to take very, very, very good care of them. Their manager has too many incriminating photos of me to do anything less!” He adds that "The Strumbellas are a global force of nature and we are so excited that they have honoured us with the opportunity to work with them on this new music,”

The band is in the studio, working on its fourth album, is riding high on the success of its last project, Hope, which came out in 2016 on the Six Shooter Records imprint in Canada, and Glassnote Records internationally.

Meet the Force Behind the Canadian NBA MVP Shai-Gilgeous Alexander and R&B Star GIVĒON

In this Billboard Canada Toronto's Simon Gebrelul's strategy to make Shai Gilgeous-Alexander a one-of-a kind sports star — and disrupt the music world.

It’s mere days before Christmas, and Paycom Center is unusually quiet.

The arena — home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the reigning 2025 NBA champions — typically holds 18,000 roaring fans, but today, you could hear a pin drop. Yet even in silence, the Thunder’s accomplishments speak loudly. Division title banners hang proudly from the rafters. Scan past those banners and across the empty arena, and three words in bold orange and blue come into focus: Committed. Community. Together.
