Leftovers, Eric Soini’s first solo project away from Elephant Band, offers any listener a buffet of themes, sounds, and most of all; rock!

After two full servings and two ep servings with EBand, Soini has some leftovers he has saved just for you.

This album features a creative mix of laid back travelling tunes and straight out rock anthems. With 13 tracks total (plus an appetizer), the time put into a meal of this calibre can only be harnessed in a solo project where there aren’t too many chefs in the kitchen.

Inspired and driven by tastes from around the world, Soini’s Canadian maple flavour is dominant throughout. You will find yourself relaxing and smiling along with “Baby Will Be Alright” and “Bruce Cockburn”. Then Soini will serve up his version of “Monsters in the Parasol” which might leave you breathless.

These Leftovers truly have a taste for everyone…and it will make you want seconds.

Listen to it today, and then listen to it tomorrow. After all, Leftovers are always better the day after!

UPC 009-2 Marc Robert - Imprints

With an album 4 years in the making, it's easy to see how, what at first appears to be an album about heartache and isolation, is really more about losing love, but finding it again. About losing hope, but pursuing on. About growing up, without ever forgetting where we come from.

It reminds us that things aren't always as easy as we had hoped for, and that sometimes, before you get to where you're going, you have to make a few wrong turns. But when you surround yourself by good people, good things are bound to come your way.

For Marc Robert, and Imprints, his debut album for Barcode Records, that couldn't ring any truer. Rounding up one half of Sudbury's Existence is Song in Curtis and Cory Schiewek, as well as former roommate and close friend Steve Cuch, Marc Robert has put together an impressive album that succeeds in accomplishing what it set out to do - move on.

UPC 008-2 Steve Cuch - The Acoustic EP

Locking himself into a room, armed with nothing but his acoustic guitar, a pencil and a pad of paper, Steve spent the better part of two months isolated from the world, hashing away at what would eventually become The Acoustic EP. Although sparse in instrumentation, the seven songs written for The Acoustic EP are brutally honest and heartfelt, relying solely on unadulterated emotion. Accompanied only by an elegantly strummed guitar and a soul-soaked harmonica, Steve draws inspiration from the people and places around him, finding beauty in the ordinary and singing every word as though it were his last.
