Ten worst band or artist names you need to see at Canadian Music Week.
Ugh. Meghan (All About That Bass) Trainor was wrong.
American emo band still wanted by authorities for questioning in the murder of irony.
Rising-star Coming Home singer is Young Sam Cooke, by any other name.
Unfortunate. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, Toronto psyche rockers?
Why would anyone take the name of a washed-up Lemonheads frontman from the 1990s? Oh, you’re that Evan Dando? Sorry to hear.
No, we don’t feel lucky. We just feel like shaking our heads.
Their name should be extinct, but Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl make whimsical alt-pop and light psychedelic rock for the ages.
He does no jazz, but the promising Toronto rapper is one to watch. (Did you see what we did there?)
Pronounced “always.” As in, “vv” is always pronounced “vv,” except in cases of hotly tipped hipster indie rockers led by Rankin Family scion Molly.
Where have you gone, Johnny Cougar?
