NEW MUSIC: Apple Music Home Sessions
Surprise! We’re stoked to share some stripped down tunes we recorded at OCL Studios, sometime between tours, for Apple Music. The deal was one cover, and one original. Making the song choices for this project was tricky. We aren’t the kind of band that strips down very often. We wanted to make sure whatever we […]
3AM REVELATIONS: Live Review April 13 – The Lido, Vancouver BC
The only thing better than a band playing a release show in Vancouver on the eve of their new album dropping… is playing that show in a venue two blocks away from me! It’s always nice to stroll down the street for a show at The Lido, especially for someone like Miesha & the Spanks celebrating their new release, Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi, which is out today.
FASTER AND LOUDER: Miesha and The Spanks – Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi
Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi is a triumph for a number of reasons. Of course the songs rock and compel you to sing along. But at a deeper level, this is a remarkably relatable set of songs. And this album is true to life, with the tone of the songs ranging from angry to inspiring to somber to triumphant to reflective to playful. In telling her own story about processing grief, overcoming self-doubt, adapting to change, and finding the things that set her soul on fire, Miesha Louie is telling the story of a lot of people

JOYZINE: Track By Track – “Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi”
Miesha And The Spanks jumped out at me as I delved through my weekly editor submissions – plucking the most interesting tracks/albums/artists from the depths of my inbox and adding them onto Joyzine’s bulging reviews list, in a bid to pique the interest of our writers. I hit play on the private stream of the Canadian duo’s Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi album and seemingly forgot where the stop button was located. On first listen, there’s the punchy riot grrrl influence, high energy waves of garage rock and a searing upbeat momentum, but digging down into the lyrical themes reveals outrage, anger and darkness.
