Espanola/Little Snake/Mr. Merlot/BBQT

Written By Jeff MacCallum

Espanola - Espanola

Aaron Goldstein has poured his heart and soul into the making of his first album over the past ten years. He is well known for his collaboration with notable Canadian alt-country acts, but Espanola is a rock record with a hint of those roots.

Little Snake - LOST IN SPIRALS EP

Calgary’s Little Snake challengers listeners to redefine their definition of music on Lost in Spirals. The EP has the effect of disorientation which is caused by multi faceted electronic attacks coming from every direction. 

Mr. Merlot - City Sex Vol. 2

Like the title states, City Sex Vol. 2 is the second instalment in Mr. Merlot’s city sex series. He channels his big city Vancouver life into seductively groovy tunes that mirror the attractive hustle and bustle of the major metropolis. 

BBQT - Nice View 

Nice View is a bright new indie rock EP that is here just in time for summer. It carries all the excitement and positivity with it of BBQT who relocated from St. John’s to Montreal to get into the middle of things.

Jeff MacCallum

Jeff MacCallum is our founder. He created Cups N Cakes simply because he had a love of local music. Soon the platform grew beyond the confines of his scene in Edmonton to include all of Canada.

"I did it all very DIY. Everything you see was me learning on the fly. I'm a carpenter not a musician, or a journalist, or a publicist... I'm a carpenter and a weird crazy music fan that thought he could do something fun that might benefit something I care about"

Over the years, MacCallum's commitment to elevating Canadian music earned him a spot as a Polaris Prize Juror, a WCMA Juror, a consultant for music festival curation, and a dear friend to independent music in Canada.
