Here’s the Indie 5 @ 5 chart:
#5 – Marissa Burwell, Coward
- The singer-songwriter from Regina, Saskatchewan is getting ready to release a new EP in September. The first single off the project features Chris Dimas from the bank Bleeker, playing the drums and keyboard. Madison Nicol is on bass and Tom Duffy is playing the guitar. One of two new adds on the show.
#4 – Beauty School Dropout, Beautiful Waste
- The California trio is another new add for the show this week.
#3 – Louise Burns, Bloom
- The Vancouver artist is in her third week on the show. This is the second single from her album “Element,” which was released in April.
- “This is the first song I wrote for what became the album. I felt torn between writing something more gothic country like my older catalogue, or trip hop and sample based like the music I was listening to. Naturally it turned into both, which is a testament to the song’s story: an homage to my new found not really worrying about what people think my music, or me, might be, and focusing on what I like and what inspires me. Not feeling “it” like I used to is referring to the full body forward momentum I was feeling of getting over something that wasn’t good for me. Leaving behind your past, both physically and mentally, can be a glorious thing,” said Burns in a statement.
#2 – Fionn, Take Me Out!
- Twins Alanna and Brianne are behind the band. They move up two spots this week in their fourth week on the show.
#1 – Maple Drive, Faded Green
- The Belleville band started out as an early pandemic project. They continue to hold the top spot after four weeks on the show. Listen to our full interview with the group this Sunday at 9:40 p.m. and Wednesday at 10:40 p.m. on “For The Record.”
