Bryan Adams – How’s it Goin’
Bryan Adams will release new album How’s it Goin’ on November 6 through BAD Records.
“The idea was simply to make a record about Canada,” says Adams. “It started with writing the song for the documentary Canada’s Wild Eastern Edge and after doing so much research, I was inspired to start writing more songs about Canada. Musically it took me somewhere a little different too, which made the whole thing exciting.”

How’s it Goin’

Diesel & Dirt
The Battle Of Lundy’s Lane

NIIS will release new record PLAY NIIS on October 23 through Rise Records.
Vocalist Mimi Doe said: “Picture this, you’ve just left the movies at the mall, your mom is calling you on your brand new flip phone. You ignore it and walk into the nearest hot topic. A song you haven’t heard before is playing on the speakers. They don’t have the cd you wanted and he hasn’t texted you back, so you go home, flip on the tube, Buffy’s on and she’s listening to that same song. That’s the vibe we’re going for here with Play Niis.”
Tracklist:
Bad Aim
Big Fish Baby
Earthquakes
Take Your Mess

Against The Current – Till Death & Back

Against The Current will release new album Till Death & Back on October 30.
Vocalist Chrissy Costanza said: “fate is the thread running through every song on this album, the belief that what’s meant for you is bound to you across time. The cost is the fire, the fight, the version of yourself you don’t get back. Till Death & Back is the promise that no matter how far you go, the thread never breaks, not even in death.”
Girlband! – Girlband!
Girlband! will release their self-titled debut album on November 13.
Konvent – Firesky

Konvent will release new album Firesky on November 6 through Napalm Records.
The band said: “After four years, we are finally ready to release our third album, Firesky, as our most ambitious album yet. On this album we have experimented more with black metal, as it is a genre we are all very inspired by. Lyrically it has been impossible for us to ignore the political state of the world, and we have found it imperative to comment on the active decisions to withdraw basic human rights for women and LGBTQ people. Firesky is a screaming desire to burn everything down and to create a more solidary and empathic world.”
Tracklist:
Exorcise
Scorning
In the Unknown
Firesky (Feat. Mai Soon Young Øvlisen)

The band said: “Numbers is an album filled with rage and darkness but there’s also love and a bit of hopefulness in it. Sometimes that’s all we need. Because when those two worlds collide something scary but fascinating happen. How will your day and night be like? However, we had the best of times making it.”

The memory of us
