THE ASHLEY HUNDRED

In 1822 General William Ashley sent out the following ad: "To Enterprising Young Men: The Subscriber wishes to engage One Hundred men to ascend the River Missouri to its source to be employed for one, two, or three years."

Almost 200 years later, five young men with the same pioneering values started making music together. The Ashley Hundred began as an acoustic-folk act in the summer of 2012. Venturing to the forests surrounding their hometown of Calgary, Alberta for inspiration, and to write the songs that would define their early sound. Taking on a bass player to give necessary fullness to their songs, The Ashley Hundred soon began to add further instruments and effects to their guitar, banjo, and percussion foundation. The resulting lineup of Brett Cassidy (Banjo, Lap Steel, Vocals), Chad Dalley (Drums), Andrew Franks (Guitar, Keys, Vocals), Jordan Moe (Bass, Vocals) and Carson Stewart (Guitar, Keys, Vocals) were able to combine their array of influences, which range from traditional folk to psychedelic and post-rock, to create sonic stew of swirling ambience, soaring harmonies, melodic bass lines, tribal-esque drumming and frenzied banjo picking. A sound that the band refers to fondly as “Folkadelic”.

The release of their first Ep, “Postcards From The Moon”, landed The Ashley Hundred firmly within the Calgary musical community. With tours to the neighbouring province of B.C, and an Eastern Canadian tour, with a stop at the 2015 Canadian Music Week in Toronto, the band has high ambitions of reaching listeners across the country and beyond its borders. As a follow up to their first release, The Ashley Hundred will be joining forces with fellow local rockers, 36?, to put out a split Lp in Fall 2015.

THE GOOD IN EVERYONE

The Good In Everyone are a Vancouver-based five-piece inspired by the likes of Yo La Tengo, Broken Social Scene and Sloan. Propelled by the meshing of complex, thoughtful arrangements and lyrics with infectious vocal melodies and instrumental hooks, this past autumn saw the band’s debut EP race up college radio charts across the country.

ALAE RAE

Alea Rae is an indie-folk trio based out of New Westminster, BC. Their 2013 debut EP, Offerings, a collection of folk-inspired songs laced with bittersweet melodies and smart arrangements, was met with a sold-out release show at Vancouver’s Railway Club, and gained unexpected international attention, appearing on UK blog Independent Music News’ list of “Top 50 Unsigned Acts From Canada”, commended as “[doing] indie-folk a favour” (MITNG).

Their newest work, Flies/Lancaster, explores “dark tempos coupled with dreamy melodies” and has been described as “tantalizing and hypnotic” (The Revue).
