    The band’s self-titled debut album, produced by Tom Treumuth, was released in June 1984. The album featured four charting hits in Canada: New Girl Now, Burning In Love, Wave Babies, and Stay In the Light. New Girl Now was also Honeymoon Suite’s first single to reach the top-50 in the US.

    Since their debut album, Honeymoon Suite has released a total of 9 studio albums to date, with well over 1 million units sold worldwide. The band has also enjoyed having many of their songs placed in film and TV shows such as Miami Vice and Bones, and movies such as Lethal Weapon (with Mel Gibson), The Wraith (with Charlie Sheen), and One Crazy Summer (with Demi Moore).

    Canada’s Walk of Fame inductee Lee Aaron is one of Canada’s most iconic vocalists, songwriters, producers, and fearless re-inventors. Her 1984 sophomore release Metal Queen solidified her as a trailblazer for women in rock internationally. Its title track – a hard-rocking anthem of female empowerment – elevated her to icon status with legions of rock fans worldwide. 1989’s BodyRock and 1991’s Some Girls Do reached multi-platinum status with chart-toppers like Whatcha Do to My Body and Hands On. She’s shared stages with Heart, Bon Jovi, Joan Jett, Suzi Quatro, Sinead O’Connor, Motley Crue, Van Morrison and more.

  3. Orbit Culture

    Comments Off on Orbit Culture

    Orbit Culture is a band poised. The Swedish quartet’s Century Media debut, Death Above Life, is not merely a statement of how far the band has come, but it is the sound of metal in the most modern sense. “This record represents change, a new beginning,” says Orbit Culture guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, Niklas Karlsson. “It brings up a lot of good and bad emotions but it’s a big change for the better. It feels like a rebirth.”

    Already, Orbit Culture has distinguished themselves with a steady stream of jaw-dropping albums including 2023’s Descent and its 2021 predecessor Nija. They’ve seized stages with the likes of Slipknot, Knocked Loose and Trivium, blown away festival crowds with their layered, melodic death metal scraping sound and won “Next Big Thing” status in a way even the most promising outfits can’t approach. Death Above Life lifts Orbit Culture’s years of hard work with a sharpened songwriting edge and swaggering confidence. From the album’s scorching opener, “Inferna” to its clench-fisted title track to the elegiac closer, “The Path I Walk”, It’s clear: Orbit Culture is at the top of their game.

    Dayseeker bring The Pale Moonlight Tour to the Burt with with Northlane, Wind Walkers, and Sace6.

    Heavier than pop-rock, more heartfelt than the average metalcore, and much too emotionally rich and nuanced for easy categorization. The profound resonance of the band’s music with fellow outsiders worldwide is evident in their 600 million+ streams. And it’s palpable at every show, from sold-out headlining runs in theaters to tours with Pierce The Veil, Bad Omens, and Ice Nine Kills.

  9. Matt Andersen

    Comments Off on Matt Andersen

    When Matt Andersen steps on stage, he brings a lifetime of music to every note he plays. His latest album, The Hammer & The Rose, is a veritable garden of heart; a (mostly) delicate collection of tender folk and stirring soul numbers that find the New Brunswick-born songwriter thoughtfully tending to the most important things in life.

    Andersen’s stage presence is informed by decades of cutting his teeth in dusty clubs, dim-lit bars, and grand theatres all over the world, delivering moving performances that run the gamut from intimate to wall-shaking. In the studio, he’s always brought the same attention to detail and commitment to craft as he has to his live show, and the result – a multi-faceted and poignant body of work – has led him to amass over 33 million streams on Spotify and 30 million views on YouTube.

    Tickets are on sale Friday, October 3 at 12pm.
