Propter Hawk - Toronto, Canada
Propter Hawk - Toronto, Canada
Propter Hawk Single Release Party for "Time Won't Wait" Live at Rivoli, 334 Queen Street West Toronto, ON M5V 2A2 Canada
Propter Hawk unites with some of Toronto's best local bands to celebrate the release of their new single "Time Won't Wait." With the return of Propter Hawks HORN section, the Boneheads, Feral Minks, and The Young Scones will bring you on a high-voltage journey. Whether you're a die hard fan or just looking for an epic night out, these bands promise a wild ride. Grab your tickets and hold them dear! See you on Jan 31, 2025!!!
Established in 2020, Propter Hawk is a rock and roll outfit from the ambiguous corners of Toronto, Ontario. Commixing influences and sounds, Propter Hawk is Humble Pie, The Beatles, The Band and Otis Redding tossed in a burning barrel at the dark end of an unmarked street. Resurfacing from the pandemic with a plethora of material, the band laid down their finely tuned tracks at Pineship Sound in Toronto with Carlin Nicholson and Mike O’Brien of the staple Canadian rock band Zeus. Employing vintage gear and a live horn section, Propter Hawk established the foundation of their sound on their debut, self titled record. After the release of their 3 singles (Theatre Of The Whole World, Telephone, and Clean Old-Fashioned Hate) and now a full length album, this fiercely dedicated and experienced group of musicians is ready to reveal their distorted vision of a new era of rock and roll.

Ian Fisher performing in Buffalo at Nietzsche’s 2/15
Ian Fisher - St. Louis
Info about Ian Fisher's upcoming performance in Buffalo at Nietzsche’s on February 15
These live shows are in support of his upcoming album Go Gentle (release date: February 7, 2025) which was written after the loss of his mother following her 26-year battle with cancer. Despite its heavy subject matter, Go Gentle is not a dour record. It is a cathartic album, both for artist and audience, and makes the case that death, and the grieving that follows, shouldn’t be shunned. Rather, it should inspire us to live more fully.
On tour starting February 7 (kicking off in his hometown of St. Louis and heading across the eastern U.S. and Canada before an extensive European run), Ian’s live shows are set to deliver a cathartic experience that you won’t want to miss. He’ll be joined by buzzworthy Australian singer/songwriter Anna Smyrk and other local talent along the way.

Welk's Mice - Buffalo, NY
Welk's Mice - Buffalo, NY
Welks Mice, Buffalo’s premier vibraphone and vocal DIY pop duo, is back with their long awaited sophomore effort “BLUB BLUB”. Released 10/19/24 on Peterwalkee Records, songwriter Max Weiss (he/him) and vibraphonist Andre Welks-Fabretti (they/them) deliver an 8-song EP exploring themes of openness, positivity, and hope. The anxious and incessant edges of the duo’s debut album “Songs in C” give way to softer song forms while maintaining their signature stark and minimalist pop aesthetic that keeps Max’s lyrics central for the listener.
Aiding the band this time around is engineer/producer/patient-angel Derick Evans (he/him) who meticulously captured and refined the duo’s first ever digital recordings. Alongside a sprinkling of cello by Katie Wiessman (she/her), Derick also contributes the electric guitar and bass heard here and there.
After nearly 6 years since beginning this effort, an interim filled with pandemic and lockdown, babies and marriage, growth, turmoil, equipment malfunction, enduring friendship, and some brutal self-editing that left several fully recorded songs on the cutting room floor, Welks Mice proudly and lovingly present “BLUB BLUB”. Enjoy!
Cassette is available at www.peterwalkeerecords.com
150 Copies first pressing. Pro dubbed cobalt cassette, sticker, digital download, hand cut/printed heavy Metallic Green Slip Cover

The Young Scones - Toronto, Canada
The Young Scones - Toronto, Canada
Toronto's powerhouse rock quartet, The Young Scones, unleashes their 3rd single “The Muse.” With their upcoming album “Sconism” just around the corner, The Young Scones are cementing their mark as one of the most dynamic and energetic bands in the indie rock scene.
Known for their raw sound, infectious melodies, and captivating live performances, "The Muse" promises to deliver a fresh yet familiar taste of the band’s signature style, setting the stage for their highly anticipated full-length album.
“The Muse” offers an existential and introspective view of one’s place in the world, especially during times of loneliness and emotional struggle. It speaks to the challenges of facing inner darkness and unhappiness where finding purpose can feel elusive. While external comforts may offer temporary relief, true solace lies in creative expression, which nurtures mental resilience and hope. When the weight of the world feels unbearable, the muse serves as a sanctuary—a source of comfort, strength, and connection amid the solitude.
Established early 2022, The Young Scones have become a regular fixture throughout Toronto's diverse and creative music scene. With a rock n roll sound that packs a Scottish punch to the gullet, known for our high-energy performances and sweaty aftermath. The Scones' vibe has been shaped and influenced by the likes of The Beatles, The Clash, Pixies, T-Rex, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Jack White, Arctic Monkeys and many many more.
Founding member Gary McGuinness (Vocals/Guitar) has assembled a formidable lineup for The Young Scones, bringing together seasoned musicians from Toronto's local music scene. Marcelo Maltez (Drums), formerly of The Howlin' Gales, Brian Derro (Bass) from Propter Hawk, and Zach Lennon (Guitar) from Rumble Sons, each bring their unique experience, creating a raw, emotional and unhinged Rock n Roll sound. The quartet has recently completed recording their highly anticipated eight-song LP at Wychwood Sound, set for release this fall.
“Bone" is set to be a powerful testament to The Young Scones' passion and dedication, offering listeners an unfiltered glimpse into their artistic soul. Get ready to experience rock 'n' roll in its purest form with The Young Scones' latest release.
