Josh Warren’s The Path deserves your attention (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hailing from Victoria, BC and now residing in Toronto, bassist Josh Warren has crafted a groovy five-song EP that deserves your attention. The sound has been compared to Snarky Puppy, Pat Metheny and Stevie Wonder.

Dinosaur Jr singer/guitarist delivers a minimalist acoustic rendition of the Mazzy Star classic. Comparing it to Hope Sandoval’s shimmering vocal is like apples and oranges. Just appreciate this gem for what it is. Recorded for the 30th anniversary of the Black Album, Bridgers leans into a tender, almost Baroque performance of the iconic Metallica song. Tracy
