"Posers. Fakes. Sellouts. Punk rock is chock full of the almost-rad, the nearly important; bands that love the esthetic and the rebellion, but have no idea why, when it’s time to throw bricks through those coffee shopwindows, you really shouldn’t have to stand all alone.

Jenny knows why. Born of the frustration, disillusionment and hypocrisy that only an oil-rich boomtown like Calgary can instill, Jenny is a band that gets it.

Front-man Sean Hamilton did his time in the city’s pop-punk trenches, playing with bands like Radio Logic, Voice in the Crowd, or White Boy Mafia. But like we all do, he came to realize that machine guns and mortar blasts can only take you so far. So he picked up some Dostoyevsky and an acoustic guitar and set about taking on everything that’s wrong with our world.

Blending heartfelt folk, pop and jackhammer punk gets you three chords and the truth, built around addictive licks from Jarrett Brandt’s Les Paul and howled out by Hamilton’s fiercely unapologetic vocals.

They know what Dr. Seuss has said all along: that the world is just awesome, and as screwed up as it is, it’s all worth fighting for.

Apathy is for hipsters, and a lot can be said if you’re honest. Fuck “indie,” let’s be real instead." -www.facebook.com/awesomejenny

//Candelora//
" Candelora got its start 2006, when the group first came together as a five piece called Constant Season. Constant Season played some higher profile gigs including one opening for Pearl Jam at the Virgin Festival in 2009. In 2010, the band pared down the line-up to the current quartet and changed the name to Candelora. The name is in honor of Lucas and Cory's Grandmother who had that unusual middle name. She passed away during the recording of their debut record, also named Candelora. The self-titled album was recorded by award-winning Toronto producer, Douglas Romanow, and mastered by the legendary Bob Ludwig (Beetles, Bruce Springsteen). The music of Candelora, as showcased on the album and in live venues, has been compared to Gas Light Anthem and U2. The Irish arena rockers, in particular, are a big influence on their music. With lyrics inspired by the death of loved ones and relationships, both failed and successful, their other inspirations come from films and novels as well as the music of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bruce Springsteen and Pink Floyd. Candelora's music is available from iTunes, CD Baby, Tunecore and Melodiya Records in Calgary, AB." - www.facebook.com/candeloramusic/info

//Hello Moth//
"Hello Moth brings an otherworldly presence to the stage, combining pop sensibilities with strange sounds and intriguing musicality to create songs that surprise and charm listeners. The genre is “Soulless Soul,” a hybrid of warm passionate vocals and the cold tones from a timeworn Casio VL-1 digital synthesizer. In each riveting performance, musical layers are laid upon each other in loops to form elaborate patterns. The songs which result are powerful and unexpected, and before your eyes the solitary musician becomes a haunting orchestra of one." -www.facebook.com/hellomoth/info
