ifitbeyourwill Podcast #199 • Jacob Brodovsky
Jacob Brodovsky joins If It Be Your Will to talk about Tell the Kids We Tried, the strange business of making art, and the increasingly ambitious project of keeping it together. We get into songwriting, fatherhood, community, climate dread, and why Canadian indie music seems uniquely qualified to make existential crises sound charming. There’s melancholy, wit, guitars, and just enough optimism to keep the whole thing from collapsing. A smart, funny conversation with one of Canada’s quietly great songwriters—and proof that “we tried” can be both a shrug and a pretty decent philosophy.
In some cases, songwriters discover their writing is premonition only after living through the experiences their past-self penned. In 2025, Jacob Brodovsky lived through a loss of community that, at the time, he didn’t realize he’d foretold while writing his sophomore LP, Tell The Kids We Tried.
The award-winning indie-folk songwriter, based in Treaty 1 Territory, began recording with a group of trusted friends and heroes. He brought a batch of songs to producers Gavin Gardiner and Champagne James Robinson (Moonriivr), only to quickly discard many of them in favour of brand new songs stemming from a “Song Every Week” songwriting challenge that the Winnipeg music community takes part in every Winter. killbeatmusic

ifitbeyourwill Podcast #198 • Gvth Dvddy
Two records in two years, and GVTH DVDDY are clearly not slowing down. Their latest self-titled album pushes the sound even further into the dark—massive guitars, strange textures, raw emotion, and songs that hit with the weight of lived experience. On this episode, we go back to Kevin Robinson’s years in Viva Voce, trace the path that led to GVTH DVDDY, and get into what happens when a band keeps pushing forward instead of looking backward. Heavy, hypnotic, epic, and completely human—this is GVTH DVDDY at full volume.

ifitbeyourwill Podcast #183 • Josaleigh Pollett
Josaleigh Pollett has quietly become one of indie music's most compelling voices, expanding from intimate folk confessionals into lush, emotionally charged songs where synths, noise, and vulnerability coexist. On this episode of ifitbeyourwill, we discuss the making of If I Let It Quiet, recording across continents with longtime collaborator Jordan Watko, the strange gift of physical distance, and why learning to be seen may be the hardest—and most rewarding—part of making art.
The work of Pollett and Watko has received a slow burn of recognition over the years. Following Pollett’s warm and rootsy solo debut ‘Strangers,’ the duo initially found acclaim together in 2020 with their ‘No Woman Is the Sea’ album. They reached a broader audience with 2023’s electronics-infused ‘In the Garden, By the Weeds,’ thanks to support from notable outlets, including NPR Music’s All Songs Considered, as well as awards and end-of-year lists.

ifitbeyourwill Podcast #182 • Andrew Sa
This week on ifitbeyourwill, Andrew Sa joins the podcast to talk about American Rough, his striking debut on Bloodshot Records. We trace a path from childhood karaoke nights and family musical roots to country music, identity, belonging, and the voices that shaped him along the way. It's a conversation about finding your place in a tradition while making room for something entirely your own.

Westside Cowboy • Kick Stones (The Boys) | Later... with Jools Holland • 2026
Kick stones and the cars shoot past
You know you got a face like a bullet when you talk like that
Pull my shirt and the cheap stitch cracks
How do you like that? How do you like that?
And the rain sounds like bells, the plastic covered cars swim totally fine
Have you heard that thе boys are gone this time?
Kick stonеs and the cars shoot past
You know you got a face like a bullet when you talk like that
Pull my shirt and the cheap stitch cracks
How do you like that? How do you like that?
And the rain sounds like bells, the plastic covered cars swim totally fine
Have you heard that the boys are gone this time?

Andrew Sa • "Your Whisper” • (Live 2026)
Songwriter and Vocalist Andrew Sa has earned the title of Chicago’s premiere queer country crooner. Sa’s career has always been rooted in songwriting that highlights his easy and elegant voice, but when he met mentor and pioneer Patrick Hagerty of Lavender Country, his “Lonesome Andrew” persona was born. Diving headfirst into the catalogs of Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, and other classic songwriters that defined his adolescence as the child of a Karaoke Jockey, Sa easily slipped into this new but familiar persona. It wasn’t long before all of Chicago was seeking out his voice.
Sa quickly became the star of the touring revue Cosmic Country Showcase, an instant smash hit camp-country revue based out of Chicago. The city provided two important collaborators for Andrew, One of those was Kelly Hogan (Mavis Staples, Neko Case). Hogan instantly recognized Sa’s abilities and quickly the two were booking gigs across the city as a duo. The young and talented Liam Kazar (Jeff Tweedy, Sam Evian, Kevin Morby) also recruited Sa for a duet on his debut album Due North. Sa also created a stunning film, Andrew in Anotherland, which was a celebration of Chicago’s many voices that accompanied a live revue at the prestigious public amphitheater Millennium Park.

General Chaos • Can't Please 'Em All • 2026
Montreal’s General Chaos are sixteen years old, and they’re about to release one of the most dialed-in punk records to come out of the city in years. Their second full-length album, Can’t Please ’Em All, arrives May 8 on Stomp Records, and it doesn’t sound like a stepping stone. It sounds like a band that already knows what it’s doing. The kind of band you catch after midnight off Saint-Laurent, ears ringing, snow melting into grey slush at your feet, neon buzzing overhead. Across thirteen tracks, General Chaos lock into a style that balances speed, weight, and melody without overplaying any of it. You hear it right away. Rancid’s punch, Descendents’ discipline, Social Distortion’s structure, early Green Day’s snap, and the sharper political edge of Propagandhi. The guitars stay tight and efficient. The bass sits forward and drives. The drums are steady and controlled. Songs move quick when they need to, then settle into something heavier when it counts. Lead singles “Busted” and “The Idiots Have Taken Over” map that range, while focus track “Zipco” cuts through with a rawer, street-level narrative. “He drank and drank and drank until he was passed out on the floor,” Blondy sings, sketching out a character that feels pulled straight from real life, not dressed up for effect.

best of 2025 • Teethe • Magic Of The Sale
Teethe re-emerges with Magic Of The Sale, a soft but steelyfull-length album where the Texas band's four distinctsongwriters, singers, and artists ask a series of interlockedquestions about what it means to build a life in a time of sharedcollapse. The result is a sad and beautiful self-built world ofSouthern slowcore, where four people turn toward one anotherand drift forward, together. dead dog

best of 2025 • Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band • “New Threats From The Soul”
“If you don’t know it yet, it’s my privilege to tell you that Ryan Davis is one of the greatest songwriters of his generation. Bold instinct immediately insists that I lose the qualifications: he’s the greatest of his generation, he’s one of the greatest ever. Whatever. Posterity—if there is a posterity—will sort it out. Happily, New Threats from the Soul has beaten the Doomsday Clock to the wire, and we appear to have a little while left to revel in it, receive its revelations, and be revealed by it.

best of 2025 • Carson McHone • Pentimento
http://www.carsonmchonemusic.com/
Within seconds of Carson McHone’s Pentimento, one hears how the album organizes itself around this idea. Thrillingly alive in the music are exquisite articulations of pastoral folk with snatches of spoken word. Occasional riffs that call back to her roots in Texas build towards moments of organic and tactile rock. WRUV

best of 2025 • Case Oats • Last Missouri Exit
A spectacular record release show for Case Oats’ debut LP “Last Missouri Exit” at The Hideout, with lots of love, family and friends in the room. Casey Gomez Walker and her crew delivered an amazing set featuring the full album, a handful of new songs and a great cover of The Clash’s “Lost in the Supermarket.” TV Buddha opened the show with a killer set of originals and an intense version of “Roadrunner” by The Modern Lovers. It was a perfect summer in the city night!
