"bed" is the latest single to emerge from strength, the forthcoming album from Bad Heaven Ltd., which is due out on August 2. John Galm (formerly of Snowing) shares that the song "is about being eaten alive. It’s about the dream of relief that comes from living with a chronic mental illness.” The recording hovers between a low-key, illuminated contemplation and bursts of unencumbered feedback. The dichotomy of sound between delicate moments and distorted ferocity provides a multidimensional, musical image.

"Everything is Nothing!" represents Canine 10’s half of their split vinyl with Secret Nudist Friends, released via Good How Are You Records. The band recently issued a caricatured video for the song, starring Emily McKinley Hill & The Dummy. Watch as Hill takes the opportunity to unleash some serious pent-up anger/frustration. You can catch Canine 10 at The Pharmacy on Saturday, July 27, with Debonair, Nothing Wrong, and A Very Special Episode.
