In the ever-evolving landscape of rock music, where authenticity often takes a backseat to fleeting trends, Elephants and Stars emerge as a beacon of genuine artistry. Hailing from Canada's Golden Horseshoe region, with roots deeply embedded in both Hamilton and Toronto, this quartet crafts music not out of obligation, but from an intrinsic need to express, connect, and resonate.​ The Genesis of Elephants and Stars At the heart of Elephants and Stars lies the enduring partnership between singer-guitarist Manfred Sittmann and bassist Mike MacMillan. Their musical journey began in the early 2000s with the formation of Soap Opera, a band that quickly garnered attention and secured a deal with Bullseye Records, leading to the release of two albums: Poised and Welcome to the Tangiers. Not content to rest on their laurels, the duo ventured into new sonic territories with The First Time. Their 2004 debut, It's On, produced by the esteemed Warne Livesey (known for his work with Midnight Oil and Matthew Good), was a faster, heavier evolution of their previous pop-punk sound. The album's acclaim was underscored when it clinched the Best Punk Record at the 2005 Toronto Independent Music Awards, with singles like "Goodbye Harlowe" and "New Day Dawning" receiving widespread radio play and television licensing.​ A Sound That Resonates Elephants and Stars are not just another band in the crowded rock scene. Their music is a testament to maturity, experience, and a profound understanding of the genre's roots. Eschewing the typical grind of endless touring for minimal returns, they focus on delivering performances that matter—sharing stages with luminaries like Television's Richard Lloyd, Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace, and indie legends Lowest of the Low. Such collaborations not only elevate their profile but also place them in front of audiences that appreciate depth, nuance, and authenticity in music. 'Under The Earth And Above Heaven' February 2025 marked a significant milestone for Elephants and Stars with the release of their album, Under The Earth And Above Heaven. Produced by the legendary Ian Blurton, the album is a masterclass in blending high-energy rock with heartfelt lyricism and anthemic melodies. The lead singles, "The Ceiling" and "Strangers on a Train," have already captivated listeners, showcasing the band's knack for big hooks and guitar-driven energy. Blurton's production amplifies the band's dynamic range, resulting in what many critics hail as their most powerful release to date.​ The album's title carries a unique backstory. After sharing a stage with Richard Lloyd of Television, Sittmann was inspired by Lloyd's autobiography. "We got the title from the Richard Lloyd (Television) autobiography after we played a show with him last year," Sittmann recalls. "When I told him we were thinking of using the title, he thought it was a great name—and that was pretty much that." ​ Critical Acclaim and Audience Reception The release of Under The Earth And Above Heaven has been met with widespread acclaim. Cashbox Canada highlighted the album's fusion of high-energy rock and heartfelt lyricism, noting that it marks an exciting evolution for the band. Similarly, Dropout Entertainment praised the album as a bold new chapter, emphasizing its anthemic melodies and raw, heartfelt lyricism. ​ A Commitment to Authenticity What sets Elephants and Stars apart is their unwavering commitment to authenticity. They eschew the trappings of the modern music industry, choosing instead to focus on crafting songs that resonate on a deeper level. Their approach is evident in their recording process, opting for old-school studios and seasoned producers like Ian Blurton to capture the raw essence of their sound. This dedication ensures that each track is not just heard but felt, leaving an indelible mark on the listener Looking Ahead With Under The Earth And Above Heaven now available on all major streaming platforms,

UWUW came into being when Jay Anderson and Ian Blurton came together through a run of shows, backing mutual friend and singer/songwriter, Kate Boothman as her drummer, and guitarist, respectively. Anderson suggested bringing in Jason Haberman, a talented bassist, who Anderson had seen play with Toronto indie-folk band, The Wooden Sky. Realizing they didn't want an instrumental record, they layered on bright horns and smooth vocals, lifting the songs from instrumental jams, to the undefinable yet distinctive sound that is, UWUW. Saxophonist, Jay Hey, was brought in to provide horn arrangements, along with Tom Richards on trombone and Patrick McGroarty on trumpet, all three contributing on every song. The result is a blissfully cool album with music that will appeal to all listeners, from record store snobs, garage rock slobs, and even psych-pop heartthrobs!

They are comprised of seventeen year old drummer, Caden Jax, twenty year old, Jared Dean on bass and veteran rocker J.P. on guitar and vocals.  Yeah they’re all related but this isn’t any Partridge family reunion.  They are a tight, hard rocking unit that draws upon their shared history to create original punk inspired Rock and Roll In fact after just three years together they’ve released 36 original songs, three full albums and one EP: 2017’s self-titled release, 2018’s “Manifesto”, March 2019‘s Act 1, five song EP -“Not from this Town” and now finishing out 2019 with this November release, the twelve song release entitled  “Sound Check and Fury”(act 2 &3).

It finishes the story introduced in the March released act 1 called “Not from this Town, with act 2: Life in a van and Act 3: Looking forward to accompany the text written for the play “Sound Check and Fury”. Act 2 takes you through life on the road with such tunes as “24 hours”, “Music whores”, and “My baby is a go-go girl”. With act 3 lamenting the state of music today with “A bit too heavy”, “Has been never was” and “Looking Forward”.

JP Wasson is the founding member of Toronto's own "Snowdogs" and has been playing music in Canada's punk scene for a very long time. JP has put a band together with his two sons and has released two albums in as many years. When the band first started, Caden Jax (drums) was 13 and Jared Dean (Bass) 15. They went back into the studio with Ian Blurton to record their 2nd album "Manifesto" which has the spirit of 77 and the teenage angst that only kids and kids at heart can create. The new album is out on February 24th on Rock Bottom Records and they're playing shows most of March to support the new release.

Change of Heart is an iconic, underground Canadian rock ‘n’ roll band based in Toronto, Ontario. Formed in 1982, Change of Heart initially consisted of singer/guitarist Ian Blurton, bassist Rob Taylor, keyboardist Bernard Maiezza, and drummer Ron Duffy. By the time Change of Heart disbanded in 1997, Blurton and Maiezza were the sole original members left. A rather different, 13-person version of Change of Heart entered Reaction Studio in early January of 1992 to record the album Smile, which would come to be regarded as a landmark effort in Toronto music history. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the record’s release, Label Obscura is reissuing a remastered, double-vinyl limited edition of Smile, which has prompted Change of Heart to re-convene for shows, including one in Toronto at the Horseshoe on July 22, 2017, dates in Waterloo, London, Kingston, and Ottawa in September, and shows in Calgary and Edmonton in October. I recently travelled to Change of Heart’s practice space in Toronto to meet with Michael Armstrong, Glenn Milchem, Rob Taylor, Bernard Maiezza, and Ian Blurton to discuss the history of their band, the album Smile, what Toronto was really like in the early 1990s, and other stuff too. Sponsored by Pizza Trokadero, the Bookshelf, Planet Bean Coffee, and Grandad's Donuts.
