Quebecois Power Trio Genticorum Hits US in January

Genticorum will be touring the US in January in support of their upcoming album La Bibournoise (dates below). Like old world storytellers, Genticorum spins Quebecois tales of mischief and a few of heartbreak and lament. Though well studied in the Quebecois tradition, they don’t take themselves too seriously. This is evident in their unique combination of sounds and storytelling, and a band name that comes from a nonsensical word.

Crown City Rockers – “Body Rock”

Crown City Rockers are all for good times and even better music, a philosophy that they stand by on their bangin’, party-worthy single “Body Rock.” The catchy chorus and melody are as infectious as the beat, so expect some swaying and swinging to go down whenever this track’s busting out of your speakers. With a hook like “So-so-socializin’ on a Saturday night / and we’re just movin’ to the music…
