The Trews: Vintage Love

By Kerry Doole

The Trews - "Vintage Love" (Cadence Music Group): It seems that meat 'n potatoes Canadian rock 'n roll is somewhat overlooked these days, but the likes of The Trews, Arkells and Matt Mays are still proudly flying that flag.


The Trews releases its sixth studio album, the Pledge-funded Civilianaires, on Sept. 14, and this new cut confirms the potency of the guitar-driven sound of the Nova Scotia-bred, Hamilton, ON-based combo of singer/guitarist Colin MacDonald, guitarist John-Angus MacDonald, bassist Jack Syperek, and drummer Chris Gormley.

The track features the ruggedly powerful vocals of Colin MacDonald bolstered by gutsy guitars and a big chorus. This is vintage Trews, and the band's loyal legion of fans will love it.

Shaboozey Jumps for Joy Over Song of the Year Grammy Nomination for ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’

"Let's go!!!!" the country phenom cheered upon learning the news.

Shaboozey has a lot of reasons to dance on Friday (Nov. 8), with the 29-year-old breakout country star nabbing five nominations for the 2025 Grammys.

In addition to best new artist and best melodic rap performance for his “Spaghettii” duet with Beyoncé, Shaboozey’s smash hit single “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was recognized for best country solo performance, best country song and, last but not least, song of the year. When his name was announced in the latter category Friday, the initially nervous-looking singer — as captured by his guitarist Stephen Musselman and reposted by Shaboozey on Instagram Stories — let out a huge cheer and jumped up from his seat, bursting with joy.
