We all love a powerful frontwoman, and Against The Current’s Chrissy Costanza fits the bill. The band’s new single “silent stranger” introduces fans to their “nightmare era,” which is chock-full of black and white imagery and a dark-pop edge that elevates their classic sound. It’s all about shedding the persona they’ve created for themselves and the challenges of reclaiming their authentic identity. There comes a point when the reflection in the mirror looks like a complete stranger, which Costanza sings in the lyrics, “I know all the lies/I brought to life/Now I don’t know how to be someone real/Hate that… Read more »

BNL’s lead singer and principal songwriter, Ed Robertson, and three others narrowly averted disaster Sunday, walking away unscathed from a float-plane crash near Bancroft, Ontario. According to the Intelligencer of Belleville, Ontario, Robertson was at the controls of a Cessna 206 when a gust of wind caused the plane to stall, forcing him to put down in a wooded area near the resort of Baptiste Lake. “Everyone is fine and that is the important thing,” Barenaked Ladies rep Adam Smith told the… Read more »
A children’s album, a new studio effort and a cruise are on the docket for Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies next year. The quintet is in a Toronto studio finishing up the children’s set with Michael Phillip, who produced its 1992 debut “Gordon” and 1996’s “Born on a Pirate Ship.” The as-yet-untitled record, which boasts such tunes as “Humongous Tree” and “Polywog in a Bog,” should come out in the spring on the group’s own Desperation Records label. “We wrote just as hard for these as we did for any other record, but you have to think from a kids’… Read more »
