Metric have dropped off Bloc Party’s ‘Silent Alarm’ 20th anniversary tour over a production dispute and will be replaced by Blonde Redhead. Metric got custody of the 6/6 show and will play that one with Sam Roberts Band, and they’ve added additional Canadian dates.

We (sort of) watched the Junos so you didn't have to. We dig into the big winners, the best performances and the fake awards. Cancon is alive and well at the Juno Awards.

We talk Sum 41, Anne Murray, Nemahsis, Bublé, Peach Pit, Deantha Edmunds, Good Charlotte and of course, our friend, Tate McRae.

Before she changed the words of "O Canada" at the Big Game, Chantal Kreviazuk was, somehow, kinda everywhere. A solo artist, writer of '00s pop smashes and scene setter for the most significant Canadian hip-hop album of all-time. How the hell did this happen?
