contemporary music genres and yet have an unmistakable
continuity as a body of work. Whether it’s the title track
“The Truth”, “Soundproof”, “Anywhere But Here” (heard in a
new episode of Degrassi,) “Weigh Me In” or the quirky bonus
track “Ain’t Thinkin About You”, you can hear the sound of
a rising star with a genuine soul and spirit belying his
age and experience.

“Brian Melo is the real thing” – Brian May, Queen

The Truth is the second album from the Hamilton, ON native

and 2007 Canadian Idol Winner who has already toured ex-
tensively and has a solid airplay and sales base. Brian

 BROOKE FRASER
Flags is a dreamy, alternative-pop collection that showcases
her agile soprano, lilting melodies, and knack for telling her
stories through the lives of vibrant characters on songs like
“Betty,” (co-written with Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman and Ben
West of Detroit indie duo The Real Efforts of Real People),
“Crows and Locusts,” “Jack Kerouac,” and “Ice On Her
Lashes.” “I’ve never used as many characters or as much
narrative in my songwriting as I have on this record,” Fraser
says. “On my previous albums [2003’s What To Do With
Daylight and 2008’s Albertine], I was singing completely as
myself, which is why I think I got so burnt out from touring.
Albertine was inspired by incredibly significant events and
people and every time I’d sing I’d go back to that moment
where my heart was ripped open. So singing such heavy
songs nearly every night for three years took a toll. On
Flags, it’s still me speaking, but it’s me speaking through the
voices of different characters and their stories. It’s more
survivable.” The album also features a co-written duet with
Aqualung’s Matt Hales, titled “Who Are We Fooling.”

 O.M.G.!, Rusko’s definitive watershed
release for dubstep – the sound he
has successfully pioneered worldwide
– is finally getting a formal vinyl lp
release. It just so happens to be a
special, limited run of gatefold double
lp’s, made on marbled vinyl. This
record has cemented Rusko’s status
as one of the most exciting, rapidly
ascending talents in the wider world
of electronic music. O.M.G.! sees
Rusko marrying dubstep to a broader
palate of synthetic styles, bringing
'RXEOH together UK and US dancefloor
sounds and uniting a seemingly

/3
disparate array of guests through his
visceral, fun-loving production. The
result is a unique sunshine-soaked
pool party of a record. Opening with
the devastating dubstep wobbler Woo
Boost, Rusko then takes Amber
Coffman of Brooklyn indie rock group
Dirty Projectors on an unexpected
detour through UKG and garage with
summer anthem, and current single,
Hold On. Other guests include Ben
Westbeech, Rod Azlan, Redlight,
Gucci Mane, and some co-production
by Crookers themselves!
