The Golden Dogs’ new song “Permanent Record” was recently selected by actor Elijah Woods for his “Elysium” charity compilation. The compilation is available exclusively on iTunes and all the bands, which also includes Vancouver's Black Mountain, have donated their music for children who are battling serious medical conditions.
The track is also available on their upcoming album, Coat of Arms which hits stores July 27. Fans that pre-order the CD, LP or digital album will receive 2 album tracks by email immediately.

Polaris long-listed Toronto band Zeus released their latest music video for "How Does It Feel" off their latest Say Us. I've also included a live recording of "The River By The Garden" from the same album... just because it's a great song.
