After the intricate rhythms and sly wordplay of “Wrong Carolina,” Sourwood returns with “When I’m Gone,” a bold departure in form and tone that underscores the power of simplicity. Built around a clean, classic verse-chorus-bridge structure, the song trades technical complexity for emotional clarity, cutting straight to the ache of one-sided closure. You can hear the new single here.
Five
Canadian country artist, songwriter, and producer Dan Davidson returns July 7 with his steamy new single “Buckle Rubbin’”, produced by Jeff Dalziel and released via Skysong Records / The Orchard.
A playful and bold anthem, “Buckle Rubbin’” also marks the first official release from Skysong Records, the boutique label co-founded by Davidson, Jason McCoy, Clayton Bellamy (The Road Hammers), and music exec Craig Senyk. Check out the latest banger here.
Four
Kelowna-based Americana band Dirt Road Opera is gearing up to release their latest single — a heartfelt cover of Blaze Foley’s beloved “Clay Pigeons” — on July 11th. Known for their signature vocal blend and laid-back, rootsy sound, the band brings a fresh yet respectful spin to this timeless Americana classic. Learn more via our interview here.

Canadian country-pop artist Mandy McMillan is back in the spotlight with the release of her electrified radio edit of “Crazy Crazy” — now streaming on all digital platforms. Co-written with fellow Albertan Cody Yost and originally produced in Nashville by Simon Gugala, this high-energy, carefree anthem first appeared on her 2022 album Dream Catcher. Check out the new single here.

Pillars of a Twisted City makes a powerful return with the release of a striking new video for their latest single, “False Prophet”, which premiered on V13. Serving as the first glimpse into their highly anticipated upcoming EP, Brimstone Prophecies, set to drop on July 11, “False Prophet” sets the tone for what promises to be a dark and immersive journey. You can check out the official video here.

Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands have garnered acclaim in recent years with their self-titled debut album released in 2020, followed by the brilliant 2023 follow-up, Fearless.
