  • Bio // Jason Collet // Rat a Tat Tat
    BIO // JASON COLLET // RAT A TAT TAT Album: Rat A Tat Tat Catalogue #: A&C052 Format: DD / CD / 1xLP Canada Release Date: March 9, 2010 International Release Date: March 9, 2010 They say that life begins at 40, but in the case of Jason Collett, that’s not just some overly optimistic bumper- sticker slogan. To many indie-rock fans, Jason Collett is the wise, big-brother character in Broken Social Scene: the calm, cool, collected totem of stability in a band defined by drama and chaos — “our Tom Petty figure,” as BSS figurehead Kevin Drew once (half-jokingly) dubbed him. But this reading of Collett belies the restless, curious spirit that he’s exhibited throughout his solo career outside of Broken Social Scene. For someone who’s been a fixture on the Toronto live-music circuit for two decades, you could totally understand if an artist of Collett’s experience and vintage settled into a country-rock comfort zone, and kept strumming the same ol’ songs until his ears gave out. But at the core of Collett’s big brotherly wisdom is the idea that, the older you get, the more you realize there’s still so much to learn. To wit, Rat a Tat Tat: the fourth album to bear Jason Collett’s name, but the first to make you double-check who you’re actually listening to: as the opening elegy “Rave On Sad Songs” blossoms from a solitary serenade into an Irish-pub last-call waltz, we hear a voice that’s several degrees more conversational and starkly unaffected than the one heard on previous Collett signatures like “Tiny Ocean of Tears,” “Almost Summer” or “Out of Time.” But it’s a gesture that perfectly suits a song wherein Collett seemingly bids farewell to the maudlin confessionals that can define — and restrict — many a singer-songwriter.

  • Exclusive Album Premiere: Zeus, 'Busting Visions'
    PRESS KIT 2012 Exclusive Album Premiere: Zeus, ‘Busting Visions’ Toronto band returns with second album Toronto’s Zeus play a rootsy, melodic brand of rock that earned the band consideration for Canada’s Polaris Music Prize upon the release of their 2010 debut, Say Us. They’ve been issuing a steady stream of singles leading up to the release of their second album, Busting Visions, which comes out March 27th. In the meantime, you can stream the full release exclusively here. ZEUS PRESS KIT ROLLING STONE MARCH 2012 Could Toronto’s Zeus be the next great Canadian band? BEN CAPLAN At a sound check at Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern, with beers on their amplifiers, Zeus rips through their new album, Busting Visions. They switch instruments, obsess over sound levels and noodle inces- santly across the past six decades of popular tunes. Zeus have been touted by Broken Social Scene’s Jason Collett as the next great Ca- nadian rock band and now they’re headlining Friday night’s marquee event at the end of Canadian Music Week. For the four musi- cians from small town Ontario, the group may finally be arriving at a sound they’ve been working toward since they were kids. “I woke up the other day and something felt different. I can feel it, potential, and it makes for some nervous energy,” says Neil Quin, 26, one of three members of Zeus who writes songs, plays bass and guitar and also sings. “We’ve definitely put in our time and rose up through the ranks,” adds Mike O’Brien, 31, who fell in with his bandmates when Afie Jurvanen, who records as Bahamas, left their group to play stadiums with Feist.

  • 2010 Long List
    For Immediate release Toronto, ON (June 17, 2010) The Polaris Music Prize Long List was revealed today by Steve Jordan, Prize Founder and Executive Director. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the prize, which awards $20,00 to the best full-length Canadian album, judged solely on artistic merit, without regard to genre or record sales. This is the second year Polaris has made the Long List public. The Long List consists of the top 40 full- length Canadian records released from June 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010, according to an initial vote by the 198 members of the Polaris Music Prize jury. The jury consists of music journalists, broadcasters and bloggers from across Canada. No music industry personnel with direct financial relationships with artists vote for Polaris. “This year we are experiencing a growing excitement for the Long List. To see why one need only study the breadth and quality of the various records on this year’s edition,” said Jordan. Jordan also announced that the Long List is once again being presented by the Canada Council for the Arts. The Head of the Council’s Music Section, Russell Kelley, said "the Polaris Prize is given to the best album of the year based solely on artistic merit, a key criteria the Canada Council for the Arts uses in its decisions in funding the arts. Given this connection, it is a natural fit for the Council to support the Polaris Long List." The Polaris Jury will now vote on the Long List titles to determine the 10 album Polaris Music Prize Short List which will be revealed July 6 at the Drake Hotel in Toronto and broadcast live across Canada and the U.S.

    PRESS RELEASE // JASON COLLETT // IDOLS OF EXILE ARTS & CRAFTS TO RELEASE NEW JASON COLLETT STUDIO ALBUM ‘IDOLS OF EXILE’ IN CANADA ON JUNE 14, 2005 April 18, 2005. Toronto. Arts & Crafts is thrilled to announce that on June 14 we will be releasing Idols Of Exile, the new studio album by Jason Collett. Written during the two years he spent touring with Broken Social Scene and recorded this past winter with producer Howie Beck, Idols of Exile showcases Collett at his best. Collett’s 2003 Arts & Crafts release, Motor Motel Love Songs, was received with glowing critical acclaim around the world. A compilation of material from his earlier indie albums, the New York Times labeled it, “recommended to disillusioned Ryan Adams fans everywhere” while our own Now Magazine declared it “a marvelously intimate feat of singer-songwriting craft on par with Ron Sexsmith’s best work.” Idols Of Exile marks a powerful move forward for Collett; a summary of his time spent juggling a burgeoning solo career and a family, all the while honing his song craft touring the world with Broken Social Scene. The album features performances from many of Jason’s closest friends; including most of the Broken Social Scene (Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, Justin Peroff) and extended Broken Social Scene; Metric’s Emily Haines and James Shaw; Stars’ Amy Millan and Evan Cranley; Apostle Of Hustle’s Andrew Whiteman and Julian Brown; Do Make Say Think’s Charles Spearin; and Feist. Jason’s also enlisted some of Canada’s finest to play on Idols Of Exile including, Andrew Cash, Chris Brown, Tony Sherr, Bob Egan, Jason Tait, Afie, Julie Penner and Liam O’Neil.

A case study was conducted centring on the Toronto-based collective Broken Social Scene and its label Arts & Crafts, and original interviews were conducted with Stuart Berman, Charles Spearin, Jason Collett, Jeffrey Remedios, and Brendan Canning. An analysis of the major labels and a history of the sensibilities of independent artists establish the habitus of an independent artist at the end of the 1990s.
