The PepTides

So if there’s a local artist, band, or music industry professional you feel deserves recognition, now’s the time to get those nominations in!

This weekend, the National Arts Centre will become a magical realm for children, thanks to numerous music-related events at the BIG BANG festival. A part of Winterlude, this celebration of sound offers many free activities, as well as some paid shows.

It’s a rainy Thursday in Ottawa, but guess what? The forecast for the next three days looks like perfect summer weather! And good thing too, because festival season is in full swing in Ottawa! Jazz, dragon boats, summer solstice events and more are on the schedule.

Only one VOTW can rule them all. Read on to find out which video claimed the title of Video of the Week of the Year.

The PepTides present “Sooner Or Later,” an awesome, perfectly styled music video for their song of the Ottawa band’s Galapagos Vol. 1 album.

The spookiest weekend of the year is almost upon us! There’s so much to do this weekend, both Halloween-infused and otherwise. Don’t scare yourself too much with indecision!

Our pick for VOTW from the week of April 20, 2020, went on to win Video of the Year at the Capital Music Awards!

In a digital broadcast on May 7, Ottawa music industry leaders presented eight artists with Capital Music Awards.

Barb Popel: “This polished production, particularly because of the quality of its music, deserves an audience.”
