COLD FAME (Victoria, BC) - Cold Fame fuses heavy hitting alt rock elements with electronic pop sensibility. With elements including indie pop melody and indie rock drive, Cold Fame's auditory design mixes restless nostalgia with ultramodern vitality.
Formed in Victoria, BC, Canada, band members Damian Anthony [guitar], Jodi Pederson [vocals] and Skye McLean [drums] originated from a diverse background of genres ranging from baroque pop to alt rock with pop-punk influences. Together, their sound emulates a contemporary blend of Paramore, The 1975 and Chvrches.
In 2023, their "year one" as a performing group, Cold Fame were named The Zone 91.3 (Modern Rock - Victoria, BC, Canada) "Band of the Month" for February of 2023 following the release of their first full band single single "Lions". They went on to perform at multiple large music festivals including Phillips Backyard Reverb (Amongst artists such as Fleet Foxes, Hollow Coves, Peach Pit, Allen Stone, The Blue Stones, and more). Cold Fame also opened for touring acts iLLScarlett and MONOWHALES, as well as hit the road for their own successful BC tour.In 2024, Cold Fame opened for Hotel Mira as they kicked off their cross-Canada tour, performing at a sold out Capital Ballroom (Victoria, BC) as well as winning fan favourite vote to perform at "Laketown Shakedown" only 2 slots before the festival's main headliner Gwen Stefani.

ROYAL OAK - Put it all in the genre blender and set it to pop.
That’s been the recent motto for Vancouver’s Royal Oak and their no-holds-barred take on hooky alt-pop. Drawing inspiration from pop-punk, EDM, 80s synth-pop, hip hop, and everything in between, the four childhood friends have captured the maximalist energy of their anything-goes live show and distilled it into a string of high-gloss pop singles.
Between live and virtual festival appearances (including 2021's eMusic Live From Vancouver with Said the Whale), a slot opening for New Zealand superstars Six60, and successful showcases at Canadian Music Week 2022 and 2023, Royal Oak has amassed over 600,000 streams and a loyal following around the world.

MADISYN GIFFORD - Her transcendent take on indie-folk with an integral pop tinge has earned accolades from media, industry moguls, and music-loving masses alike; but with her latest output, Vancouver’s Madisyn Gifford is proving herself to be a complete creative force, serving up stories and introspections as compelling as the soundtrack to which they’re set.
The quick-blooming, genre-bending artist has been quite prolific since dropping her debut EP, Learning to Exist, via 604 Records in the spring of 2021 and heralded follow-up LP’s, I hate ur guts, and Sleeping on the Ceiling. Now, she’s putting the final touches on the next musical milestone of what’s already an impressive artistic path.
Of course, she’s seen her fanbase swell consistently and organically along the way, earning millions of streams across all major platforms; coverage from tastemaking outlets like Rolling Stone, RANGE, Popternative, and CLOUT; and live performances on national networks.
