Warm weather is here, and the 5 piece indie act Token Honey is reminding us with the new summer vibe track One Touch Love. Token Honey combines influences in 70s disco, 80s synthpop and modern R&B/soul, creating a unique sound with funky grooves.

Upcoming dates include: Altrincham (Stutter & Twitch) July 15th & London (Folklore, Hoxton – Elephunk In The Room) August 3rd

Where do draw inspiration from?
Our main inspiration has been creating music that brings people some happiness after a tough couple of years for everyone. We love making people dance and providing a room with positive energy, and our music helps us do that.

How do you make it work as a 5 piece with different personalities?
The 5 of us all have fairly similar interests and senses of humour, and we’re generally all quite chilled out (until Rob gets fussy in rehearsal), so we make it work pretty easily. Musically we’re usually always on the same page as well, so if we can’t communicate something with words, we’ll do it with music!

Who is the most talented in the band?
Christophe, our drummer (we are talking about Harry Potter character impressions, right…?)

Singer-songwriter Nya released her new single, “Closer Than Close” the following up of her previous single, “The Real You,” which landed found itself on the Top 20 Adult Contemporary chart.

Raised in Tampa, Florida, Nya says “I accidentally fell into love with singing at 16. Voice lessons had initially been a means to an end to get a part in the school musical but quickly became more than that. When I sing, I swear it’s transcendent; I feel free in those precious moments. The burden of my neuroses, of the past, lifts, leaving me at my best.”

The Florida-born, LA-based singer-songwriter Nya has amassed over 2 million streams. Give it a stream.

Look out for Linebeck and the song Bed. The 4-piece dreamy power-pop band from Hamilton, ON formed right before the crazy pandemic. When the world stopped, they kept going writing songs and recording demos. The band draws inspiration from shoegaze, dream-pop, and post-punk bands. Influenced by Lennon-McCartney and Max Martin, Linebeck’s songwriting is full of intention but not lacking in honesty, once described by a fan as “a dreamy version of Linkin Park”.

You can check them out at Sneaky Dee’s in Toronto on July 28th.

Check out Jon Tyler Wiley and the track Want A Little More. You’ll love if your looking for something southern and anthemic with a blend of Americana. Think and updated Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty.

Before forming the band in 2019, Jon Tyler Wiley spent the better part of a decade as a guitarist for playing with Melodime, touring with Stephen Kellogg, and Sister Hazel.

Wiley says, “This song came to me while sitting in traffic in Washington DC. At the time, I was working for a music program in Bethesda, Maryland, where it would take me an hour to get there and three hours to get home due to rush hour. I was writing a lot of sad, “What am I doing with my life” songs, sitting on I-495 moving 7 miles per hour. I had these lyrics for months, but I wasn’t happy with the song itself until the guitar riff showed up. Playing all the instruments on the record was a fun challenge, but the recording the keyboards in this song were a joyous experience. It made the song fun, despite the desperate lyrics.”

The 24 year old hip-hop/R&B artist Cannon drops College Friends. A graduate from Boston College, he developed a sound in his dorm room with a group of friends.

A South Carolina native, now based in Brooklyn, Cannon says “when I graduated from college, I found myself worrying about whether I was sacrificing too much time chasing my goals to spend time with my friends or sacrificing too much time with my friends to chase my goals. I soon came to realize that in trying to be two places at once, I ended up nowhere. Part of the process of graduating and growing up for me has been learning how to decide where to allocate my time.”

Cannon’s debut single “Water Glass” earned over 7 million streams on Spotify and has performed as the opening act for Jon Bellion, Gavin DeGraw, and Hunter Hayes, and as a headliner at venues in Boston and New York. He has gained a significant following on TikTok, going viral for sampling his baby nephew and his broken laptop in a song, a video that Zane Lowe called “a moving and poignant tribute to an old friend.”
