The Thymes are a local rock group with an all-star line up of musicians. Members of Sonny Tripp, Catridge Family, Physical Graffiti (Zeppelin cover band), the Beach B’ys (Beach Boys cover band), The Sellouts, Dodgeband, and so on.

Give this record a solid listen, you won’t regret it. ‘Road Songs’ will be officially released at the Rockhouse, Saturday night August 30th.

Multi-instrumentalist Mike Herriott dishes up a tasty, sophisticated and varied contemporary jazz album. Both exquisite and groovy – a truly blissful listen.

Terry Penney is a young veteran singer/songwriter with six albums to his credit over a period of fourteen years. Number seven is lucky for his fans; a respectful tribute to some of the greats of the 1950’s- rock n’ roll’s iconic pioneers.

Terry’s appreciation of these songs and this significant capsule of time is felt throughout “Once Upon A Blue Moon”, his own original work reflective of classic melodic pop, rock and country over his career. He especially shines on the tender numbers but brings a suitable swagger to a handful of up-tempo gems.

Not surprisingly and without doubt a mirror of Terry’s own soul is revealed and celebrated in the aesthetic of his covers of choice in this sweet homage to a magical time in pop music history.

Also, check out his recent anthology, “Back Then”.

Newfoundland’s most popular and successful band over the past five years release their major label debut.

The Once let their collective talent shine and expand by preserving their rootsiness (My God, those voices!) and layering the tracks with violin, contrabass, horns, and drums.
Some standout tracks include #1, 2, 4, 6, 5, 9 and a jaw-dropping acapella reading of the Ron Hynes classic “Sonny’s Dream”.
The four year wait is over. Indulge yourself.

Produced by The Once and John Critchley (A.Curran/Spectators)

Folk duo Port of Call play moody modern folk songs; fans of The Handsome Family will find much to appreciate. Features Ian Foster as an additional musician and producer.

Short-lived postrock outfit from St. John’s, featuring members of Hey Rosetta!

Ilia’s songs are delicious melodic vignettes, compelling, ethereal and draped in a late 60’s brit-pop cinematic atmosphere, her prosey lyrics are both poignant and ponderous. But there are humorous splashes aplenty as Ilia navigates from innocence to astute observation in her debut. Part Jane Siberry, Part Petula Clark, part Sarah Harmer. A joyful listen.

Come down to Fred’s Records on Saturday July 26 at 2pm to get your copy of Ilia’s debut album, as well as the opportunity to experience her perform live, for free here in the store!
