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. "Spirits" became a runaway hit for The Strumbellas, hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in the US, and cracking the international charts in countries including Germany, Italy and France.

Thelma & James Search for an ‘Alternate Ending’ on the Billboard Canada Country Airplay Chart

A couple of weeks ahead of the country duo — singers MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge — performing at the inaugural Boots and Hearts West, their new track arrives at No. 45.

Country duo Thelma & James are dreaming up an “Alternate Ending” on the Billboard Canada Airplay charts. Their latest track debuts at No. 45 on this week's Canada Country Airplay chart, dated Aug. 15.

It's a tune that finds a couple pondering how their lives would be different in an alternative universe, one where they aren’t together. Still, “Alternate Ending” flexes a natural chemistry between singers MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge. That’s probably because in real life, Porter — who hails from Alberta — and Etheridge are happily married, hot on the heels of their first tour as a duo.
