Penny & The Pits. The Pits as in bad times, shit luck, sweat stains… but also cherries. Penny & The Pits is the new project from Maritime stalwart, Motherhood’s Penelope Stevens. Liquid Compactor, their debut statement, is a gritty, adventurous punk-rock album that manifests feminist joy, rage and revenge, processing pain into power through the symbolic element of water. Baths come to a boil. Period blood is summoned as strength. Local bar chuds are haunted ‘til they sweat. But for every drop of darkness, there are corresponding sparks of levity. Penny & the Pits is a celebration of healing cloaked as a gnarly romp.

After making a limited run of the album on fully-packaged, homemade CDs, Space Bud is making a formal debut in 2026.

Green Eyes, Witch Hands is a folktronica band from Bathurst, New Brunswick whose music is born out of the purgatories of small-town Canada and the cyberworld. Maintaining lightheartedness, William Morrison (drums/vocals) sings about love and nostalgia through his autotune screen while the band walks the tightrope behind him, carrying moody acoustic and evocative electronic sounds along for the balancing act. Written and produced by William and his brother Nick Morrison (respectively), their music– whether you are listening to an acoustic set, a full set, or through your headphones– is a wistful but welcomed déja-vu: rooted in faded feelings but paramount for the present and future.

Dayblooms is an indie-dream-pop band from Charlottetown, PEI. The band is Shayla Steinhoff (vocals), Evan Ceretti (lead guitar), and Aaron Turner (drums), Doug Hoyer (bass), and Colby White (guitar). Influenced by Kurt Vile, Mazzy Star, and Slowdive, the band combines melodic songwriting, walls of reverb-soaked guitars, and ethereal vocals to create music that's both intimate and expansive.
