Five Songs You Must Hear This Week (19 Oct 2026)
It was hard narrowing things down for this edition of the Five Songs You Must Hear this week, but someone had to do it. I hope you enjoy. 1. The War on Drugs, Who’s That Single (Atlantic) Recommended If You Like: Vague release dates There hasn’t been a War on Drugs studio album since 2021,...
1. The War on Drugs - their single "Who’s That Single" is highly recommended. Since their last album in 2021, the band has teased a sixth record, with this single being the only thing released so far. If the remaining tracks are as good as this taste, it'll be worth the wait.
2. The Interrupters - their comeback single "Warrior Spirit" features guests Tim Armstrong, Travis Barker, and Brett Gurewitz. Notably, Canada is The Interrupters' number one radio market worldwide.
3. Cleopatrick - hailing from Cobourg, Ontario, this band has gained international success, winning a SOCAN award and a JUNO nomination. Their single "Whaat" is described as having a "rad new bounce."
4. The Spoons - the iconic British band, now consisting of Gord Deppe and Sandy Horne, have released their first 100% independent album. Fans will notice similarities to their 1982 Nova Heart period.
5. Royal Blood - the band will release their self-produced album "Dead Company" on November 6. Their single "Dead Company" features a hand-animated video created by New York creators Hey Beautiful Jerk.
