Top 10 songs of 2014

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]With the overwhelming success of hometown music festivals like Supercrawl and the industry light being shone on Hamilton once again to host the 2015 Juno Awards, here are some songs from 2014 that showcase the unlimited pool of talent we have right in our own backyard.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5447″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]1. Arkells
Song: Never Thought This Would Happen

Oh how this song makes you reminisce of young love, hook ups and campfires. A catchy beat paired with lyrics that I’m sure almost anyone can relate to, this song is just one of a number of hits off the Arkells third full-length studio album, High Noon.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5452″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]2. Harlan Pepper
Song: Risky Business

These guys are so authentic and such a class act. With influences from The Band, Bob Dylan and Tom Wilson (the bass player’s dad), Harlan Pepper has been blowing up since being signed to Six Shooter Records. “Risky Business” from their sophomore album, Take Out a Twenty and Live Life to the Fullest, transports you back in time – to a time when none of these guys were even walking this earth![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5453″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]3. Illitry
Song: Runaways

With a very ambient and Imogen Heap like sound, “Runaways” is the new single from Hamilton Electro-Rock band Illitry. If this song is any indication of how the full-length record is going to be, I can’t wait for it to hit in the fall![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5455″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]4. Steve Strongman
Song: There’s Something Goin’ On

The winner of the 2013 Juno for Blues Album of the Year, Steve Strongman is back with an electric album, Let Me Prove It To You. It’s hard to find a musician with the holy trinity – great pipes, incredible guitar chops and unbelievable showmanship. Well Steve’s got all three.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5457″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]5. The Dirty Nil
Song: Wrestle Yü To Hüsker Dü

When you want to go to a hard hitting show to see some great punk music, you go see The Dirty Nil. When Luke, Kyle and Dave aren’t off touring they definitely won’t disappoint playing high energy kick-ass hometown shows at venues like This Ain’t Hollywood.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5449″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]6. Blackie & The Rodeo Kings
Song: Driftin’ Snow

With this album that’s full of railroad country and front porch blues, Colin, Tom & Stephen have taken a bit of a creative turn by releasing South, a heavily acoustic record. “Driftin’ Snow” is built on a great melody and on point harmonies and is a great example of what the entire record is about.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5456″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]7. The Corsets
Song: Changing With the Weather

This young band hailing from Hamilton & Toronto just released their first studio album Are You Lonely, Are You Scared. It’s been a great summer for The Corsets with the release of their record and a mini summer festival tour. Keep your eye out for these guys, they’re doing a lot of things right.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5459″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]8. The Zilis
Song: Don’t Ever Change

Consisting of members from Dean Lickyer, The Zilis started out playing covers with residency at bars like the Lazy Flamingo. They’ve kicked it into high gear with now two very successful full-length releases and an ongoing North American tour through September.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5460″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]9. Whitehorse
Song: Je Suis Devenue Lionne

Luke Doucet & Melissa McClelland are at it again! This song coming from their 2014 EP Éphémère sans repère contains several of their songs translated into French. Hearing two people in love singing in French just doesn’t get any better.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5448″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]10. Ash & Bloom
Song: Manna for My Soul

Matt McKenna and James Bloemendal met in college… in a choir! “Manna for My Soul” from their debut studio record Let the Storm Come just makes you wanna dance! And let’s not forget how incredible their harmonies are together. The duo has been very busy this summer on an Australian and North American tour since June.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5454″ alignment=”center” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”thumbnail”][vc_column_text]Honourable mention: Monster Truck
