Jake and the kid is a 4-piece alternative band from Regina, Saskatchewan. Formed in 2020 during the pandemic, the group has been working towards perfecting their craft since then. The group won the SaskMusic album of the year award in 2023 for their EP “Baby Bro” as a 7-piece band, which contains lyrics involving adolescence and paints them over a canvas of lo-fi folk, indie, alternative, and shoegaze influences. Since then, the band has been working on reforming their lineup as a 4-person band and rethinking their approach to songwriting so their work can reach new heights.

So yeah, Library Voices is still a band, playing and creating indie rock regularly now that everyone’s kids are no longer toddlers. “Indie” used to be a derogatory term for rock bands around the 2010s, synonymous with V-neck t-shirts and Helvetica Black font. Recently, it’s transmuted back into a fairly respectable way to describe bands. Still feels a bit weird for some of us to use, though.

Imagine the sound of Roy Orbison’s and Grace Slick’s spirits trekking an ageless forest outside of spacetime soundtracked in 60s’ psychedelic and 90s’ alternative, and you will find The Pxrtals (said “portals”). The ‘x’ denotes the band’s spectrum-spanning, mysterious sound, where each song transports the listener through myriad portals, exploring everywhere from enigmatic, afternoon electronica, to mind-bending, midnite rock n’ roll, to delicate early-morning folk.
