Past Canadian Ambassadors include Triumph, The Sheepdogs, Our Lady Peace and globally, Taylor Swift and Pearl Jam are among those who have held the title.

Hip fans are sure to be thrilled at the news of a new live album. Live At CBGB’s features nine live songs that were originally recorded on January 14, 1993, at a private event at the famed New York City punk mecca. This served as the industry launch of The Tragically Hip’s third studio album, Fully Completely, in America. This concert recording will be available on April 20 for the first time as a 12” pink vinyl album with a limited run of pink cassettes at participating record stores in Canada and the US.

2024 is a milestone year for the band, marking the 40th anniversary of the beginning of their illustrious career.

604 Records Co-Founder Jonathan Simkin Says Carly Rae Jepsen Recorded a Whole Unreleased Album Around 'Call Me Maybe'

The British Columbia-native was signed to Interscope Records, but was reportedly tasked to make a brand new record with all new producers.

An unreleased Carly Rae Jepsen project exists out in the music ether, according to Jonathan Simkin.

In a recent podcast episode of I Hate Simkin, the 604 Records co-founder reveals that prior to the No. 1 success of Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” an entire project had been made — but it didn’t make it to the masses.
