  • RHR Signs Two Composers – Joel Thompson and Erasmus Talbot!

    0fLf7k5aG9o

    While gathering new tracks for the RHR production music library, we have found two composer / sound designers that were so great that we signed them to the RHR sync roster as well! Both are available for bespoke work and have pre-recorded tracks that could fit your project. More information on these guys, Joel Thompson and Erasmus Talbot, below!

    JOEL THOMPSON is a Yarmouth, Nova Scotia native -which just happens to be my hometown as well, don’t ya know. After graduating from the Berklee College of Music, Joel started his career as a composer / multi-instrumentalist / mix engineer in Los Angeles. His resume includes work in film and television, including on HBO’s Big Love, ABC’s Forever, Nat Geo’s Great Migrations, and The CW’s iZombie. Please let us know if you would like samples of Joel’s work!

    ERASMUS TALBOT 0f Stockholm, Sweeden, started as a sound designer and composer at Disney Interactive and now runs his own composing and sound effects studio, working for BBC, Warner Brothers, Microsoft, and more. He is currently the composer for the UK video game series Elite: Dangerous, now in its second season. Check out a ‘behind the music’ video for that project, featuring Erasmus, HERE. You can also check out the Elite: Dangerous OST on Spotify!

  • It’s our pleasure to announce… JON EPWORTH & the MIRACLE SWEAT!

    a2732704009_16

    I’ve been pitching this album since last year, but it’s finally released! I absolutely LOVE Jon Epworth & The Miracle Sweat. If you know Jon from his days in Dean Malenkos and / or his solo stuff, you will know that this is still classic Jon – just grown up and a little more sophisticated.

    Epworth now has a new point of view and some important things to say. You have to stay keen to the lyrics and you’ll get it, but ultimately – this is a soul / funk record full of Epworth’s signature combo of attitude and energy. Think Faith No More meets the Dap Kings. Think dancing in the kitchen while cooking or dancing in the street in New Orleans… think FUN.

    Have some fun!

  • Christina Martin and Sorrey release new singles/ videos!

    Two of our top ladies here at RHR have released new videos for their current singles. Take a looky below!

    Christina Martin – You Ran From Me.

    Directed by Kristy Wagner at home in Nova Scotia, this video is shot beautifully. It features a gorgeous horse, also 🙂 -oh and Miss Christina looks very much like the rockstar that she is. We love her so!

    Sorrey – My Fault.

    Our synth pop queen from PEI, Sorrey, has released a new video for the track, ” My Fault” from last year’s BRILLIANT debut Thick As Thieves. Fontwoman Emily Sorrey tells Exclaim!,

    “The song is about a white-flag approach to an argument and resorting to the path of least resistance. There’s a certain immediate relief in surrender, and the video aims to capture the melancholic nature of this type of resolve.”

    Hey Em,… nailed it!

  • Sorrey / Not Sorry – New Signing for RHR Sync!

    a2889261041_10

    “Dream Pop Outfit” Sorrey has been on the lips of many an industry pro and music fan in Atlantic Canada since the July 2015 debut EP Thick As Thieves. Fronted by songwriter Emilee Sorrey, the band hails from Charlottetown, PEI – a place well known for turning out some of Canada’s most excellent pop and rock bands in the past decade or so, including Two Hours’ Traffic, The Danks, Paper Lions, and most of the Alvvays members. Sorrey keeps this tradition alive, and we are so happy to have Sorrey as part of the Rocking Horse Road family!!

    Sorrey is available for sync, and as with most of our roster, is a one stop shop artist!

    The first single, “Washington” was described by Exclaim! as “dreamy” and “...a shining example of their bubbly, summertime-friendly sound – despite the fact that it tackles the emotional subject matter and complicated personal relationships.” Take a listen to the full EP or check out the single below.

  • New Signing: Roxy & The Underground Soul Sound

    Roxy is real tiny – about 5 foot nothing. But Roxy, she got some soul. And Roxy, she got a killer band and a great writing partner in her Ian. We’re very happy to welcome our new exclusive signing, Roxy & The Underground Soul Sound to the RHR roster!

    “Inspired by the sweet sounds of Motown, Southern Soul, R’n’B, and Funk, “Roxy and the Underground Soul Sound” create original soul music that harks back to the “good ol’ days” yet maintains a youthful and current edginess.”

  • New Signing: Ominar

    a0573393086_10

    When my SOCAN rep sent me a few links to check out, I clicked on Ominar, expecting to hear a metal band. Instead, a dark-but-cool indie / alt pop vibe, and a sweet-yet-haunting voice starting playing at me. I was hooked almost immediately. Track 1 ended with a line that hit me in the face and I realized I just heard a super laid back but really sexy song .. and I was like, “what the hell is going on!? I think I love!”.

    Anyway – I sent this girl an email immediately and she is now our new signing. Two albums deep now, this Halifax-via-Victoria transplant is an incredible addition to the Rocking Horse Road roster. Check her out:
