Missing: Jackson Reed and The Silverbirds knows that she has a hold In My Head

Posted on 7 March 2023

Swimming back through a waterfall of a possible romance to treasure, Jackson Reed and The Silverbirds return with a fantastic fusion of sounds to bring smiles to the house on In My Head.

Jackson Reed and The Silverbirds is a Calgary, Alberta-based indie pop/rock act who have assembled a nostalgic sound which will have many licking their lips in joy.

”There’s a lot of people out there, both young and old, who want nothing more than the sounds of the past to come back. I want to be their representative and ensure that happens.” ~ Jackson Reed and The Silverbirds

With a Michael Bolton-like aura and so much to love, while tapping those happy feet, Jackson Reed and The Silverbirds fly so freely like an airborne plane on a mission and rocket into our spirits on a timeless-sounding song which could be from the 80s or 90s.

In My Head from Calgary, Alberta-born indie pop/rock outfit Jackson Reed and The Silverbirds is a rather enjoyable melody made with the feelings of being head over heels for a romantic interest. Poised and precise throughout, this is a delightful innovation made with only pure intentions for the listener.

This is a soaringly well-made song with so much texture attached and shall take our hearts into an imaginative state of affairs.

Ghosts, Maybe uplifts our mood into potential inventiveness with the 14-track release ‘Pacifist Fiction’

Posted on 19 July 2022

With a sound that will take you back to a previous alternate world entirely, Ghosts, Maybe, is on a whole new island that is certainly worth visiting on ‘Pacifist Fiction‘.

Founded by Dylan Rosychuk, Ghosts, Maybe is an Edmonton, Alberta-born indie alternative electronic band who makes a blend of music that takes you back into a nostalgic zone you forgot existed.

”They are known for making odd, danceable songs that sound like a drunk garage band making 80s pop.” ~ Ghosts, Maybe

With particular highlights such as ‘Ambulance Man‘, ‘The Screams‘ and ‘Grit‘, Ghosts, Maybe might shake your collarbone just right like a chiropractor who is on top form at this precise moment.

”There are cheesy songs about falling in love, going to the beach, and finding inner strength. There are weird songs about serial killers, abuse, dystopian societies run by robot/alien overlords and, of course, a song about Nic Cage in the Scorsese classic “Bringing Out the Dead” in which he is an ambulance man.” ~ Ghosts, Maybe

‘Pacifist Fiction‘ from Edmonton, Alberta-born indie alternative band Ghosts, Maybe is a timeless trip back to a different time altogether, and this is a reminder that there is a place to vortex through if you somehow manage to survive this noisy universe.

Packed with an underground edge that scissors through your throbbing veins, this is a worthwhile listen for those who love a smartly chosen risk from the hard working underdog.
