Canadian As Heck

Our newest friend to the Canadian As Heck Podcast has an unbelievable resumé.  From being a studio musician for some of our country's biggest artists, to producing exactly the same, Hill has done it all!  From Serena Ryder to SATE and many more, including production, acting, AND directing music videos.  This conversation was so much fun.  Check it out, like, subscribe to the Podcast, and leave a c...

We missed our pal, Dimetre on this one, but Holly Cole is a joy to have a conversation with.  Her latest record, mostly recorded live off the floor, and entitled "Dark Moon" is a stunning listen.  With some old friends on the record, as well as some awesome international friends, this album is a must have in your collection.  From The Holly Cole Trio to present day, this chat was fantastic! Holly...

Jeremy Hotz is a national treasure, and a legend.  He's been around the block several times and has seen it all, from his very early days at Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club, al the way to street hockey getting cancelled all across Canada.  This conversation was a blast.  Check it out, and don't forget to like and subscribe!

We have experienced this with a few of our guests, and certainly with this episode's guest.  Lexie from Featurette was like talking to an old friend.  What an incredible journey that our friends in this awesome band have experienced so far!  Lexie spills the beans on everything from their latest project, to creating a songwriting company, and so much more.  Check it out.  This convo was tons of fu...

I wonder what Saukrates' favourite song is to play on those awesome speakers behind him??  We will have to ask him the next time we talk. Dimetre and I have been massive fans of our guest since the late 90s.  We are so fortunate to have had this incredible conversation.  Saukrates is a literal National Treasure.  We chat about everything, from Play De Record, to Scarborough, to one of Hip Hop's mo...

Back for a second time, and only on the show a couple months ago, so many incredible things can happen in that short space of time.  Like.... An UNBELIEVABLE headlining sold out show at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto.  The show was amazing, and we give our pal Connor a massive congratulations on an incredibly successful show! What he shares with us that is next for BNO, is awesome!!!! Boys Nig...

Bassist, songwriter, singer, and craft beer enthusiast Lauren from Deer Fang sits down with the CAH crew, and fills us in on everything going on in their world, from upcoming shows, new music just released and produced by our dear friend Scotty Komer, to being in Niagra and the difficulties of finding live venues in the west end of Ontario.  The latest tune that we spin on this show, is one of our...

One of the main members and principle songwriters of Canadian legends Martha & The Muffins, it's great to have him back!  He and Martha have teamed up with Juno award winner John Orpheus for a new project and a brilliant new song, "Buttermilk."  We are so fortunate to have an old friend back in the interview chair, and we still tons to talk about. Martha & The Muffins website: http://www.m...

Conversations are sometimes difficult.  But they NEED to happen, and keep happening.  The ultimate sacrifices that the women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces, Army, Navy, and Air Forces have made, are the reason that we have the freedoms we enjoy on a daily basis.  Our friend, Army Kris, is one of those incredible people.  We thank him and everyone else who served about 50 times in this episod...

This musician is one of our all time favourites.  He is so gracious with his time, and this conversation really goes in depth into the band's writing style, and an awesome and hopeful conversation about the state of the music industry in Canada, and of course somehow always leading back to our Wavelength friend, Jonny Dovercourt!!  Can't wait to see The OBGMs live coming up at Velvet Underground.....

Born and raised in Montreal, Maya decided to take a train to Toronto, and see what happens with her career, after releasing some amazing music back at home!  Taking a page out of Andy Kim's book, she took a chance and inserted herself in T.O. to see what she could make of it.  The result, a new album, acting and voice over work, and that's just the beginning!  This was a fantastic conversation.  T...

Derek comes through again!  And even at the last minute... Connor from Boys Night Out has seen it all.  Listening to his stories, from the lowest of lows, to hanging with some of the biggest Emo bands on the planet, you'll love this conversation with a true Canadian alternative music legend.  Thanks Connor, and, we WILL do the listening party.  We promise! Get at BNO on the interwebs: https://www....

Our guest was brought to us by our friend, Jane Siberry.  John Chew has got to be one of the most interesting people in the world.  This in depth conversation takes us from John's expertise in Scrabble, (Derek and I are so jealous,) to him being the editor in chief of possibly the coolest project anyone could be involved with, The Canadian English Dictionary.  We thoroughly enjoyed this conversati...

We have been fans since the 80s.  And this artist is a true Canadian original.  Dimetre and Craig talked with Jane about everything from the early days on Duke Street, to her latest project, with a couple of working titles that you'll only find in this episode! Find Jane on the www. at: https://janesiberry.com/ The Canadian as Heck Podcast on the greatest internet radio station on the planet at: h...

Once Canadian AF, now Canadian As Heck!  A massive thanks to everyone that celebrated this milestone with us, 100 episodes!  Can't wait for the next 100! To Jenn, Cat, Scott, Ray, Army Kris, Rob Johnston, and Ryan, we thank you so much for co-hosting with show regulars Craig, Derek and Dimetre.  To our special guests, thanks for your love and support!  Here are their links as they appear in the ep...

The list of credits to this man's name is INSANE. From the early days of growing up in Dundas Ontario, to going back there and everything in between, our conversation with the great David Bottrill includes brilliant stories from Peter Gabriel, to Kate Bush to TOOL. Thanks again to our pal, Brian Hogue for putting us in touch with David! Plus, as this is our 99th episode, we thought we'd post the e...

We are so thankful when artists come back for a second interview!  We last spoke to DijahSB back in January of 2022.  Our friends DJ Cat and Scott Bell were with us for that interview.  Unfortunately, our Derek Lewis couldn't be with us this time round, but Dimetre and Craig had a blast with our old friend.  They are kind of in a bit of a holding pattern as far as shows go, but with DijahSB's upco...

Dimetre and I are so jealous of the time that our guest, James Gray, spends up in the beautiful Canadian North.  Derek gets up there more than Dimetre and I do, but James LIVES it.  Our conversation with James takes us from Germany to Huntsville, and pretty much everywhere else in between.  Can't wait for him to get back down in the city for a hang and a show.... Get James online at: https://www.j...

3 months. 3 months we tried to track down Nyssa for an interview! But, Dimetre's persistence paid off, and this was an awesome chat. In this episode, we talk about everything from Ableton, to our friend Jonny Dovercourt's WAVELENGTH gig for Nyssa. From London to T.O. and everywhere in between, things are looking very busy for our new bestie! Nyssa on the interwebs at:  https://www.thisisnyssa.com/...

Cree-Métis musician, singer, songwriter, activist, and artist, iskwē (pronounced is-kway) is possibly one of our all time favourite interviews! They are a wonderful storyteller, and we chat about everything from life, love lost and gained, Mexico, Nina Hagen, and a hopeful upcoming tour. Check out this conversation with a TRUE original, and we can't wait to talk to iskwē again! Find our friend isk...

Derek is back again after being absent from the podcast for a while, and brought us an old friend of his, John Fielding. After a lengthy chat about music, life, Burlington, The Beatles, and live venues, our new pal John blesses us with a WORLD PREMIERE of Sessions' latest track, Koolaid! Check this interview out, as we had a blast, and feel free to binge on previous episodes... Sessions on Instagr...

Rush. Dream Theatre. Aerosmith. Amanda Marshall. Jeff Healey Band, Sass Jordan, Delores O'Riordan, just to name a few. This dude is a LEGEND. Dimetre, Craig, and the triumphant return of our beloved Derek Lewis, we get to the heart of a fellow named Richard Chycki. From analogue to Atmos, Rich has seen and done it all. Massive thanks to our dear friend, Brian Hogue from c0ndu1t for the introductio...

This was a biggie. Craig, Dimetre and The Army Kris are joined by arguably one of Canada's finest guitarists/musicians/songwriters/singers.... etc. The legend, Derry Grehan from Honeymoon Suite chats about everything from his first projects, to their latest project called: "Alive." Their first studio album in 16 years! We adore this band, and Derry is awesome. Massive thanks as always to our frien...

Our pal Derek Lewis brought us this fantastic Toronto Industrial music duo, Trick Casket. Connor and Joey are PROPER industrial musicians, and this conversation was so much fun. As you'll hear, the guys bring all sorts of influences and genres to morph into a wicked, new Industial sound, which is both post punk and classic Industrial sounds, mixed with powerful screamo type vocals. Keep an eye out...

The gents in Mellohoney checked out our episode with their friend, (and ours) Cola from The OBGMs, and reached out to us to check out their music. Mellohoney are AWESOME. From their humble beginnings in local Durham region bands, to opening for Death From Above 1979 and working with the legendary Dave Schiffman, these guys are poised to have an incredible 2024, and beyond. Get at the boys at Insta...
