Rosedale is a pop-rock act from Toronto, Ontario. Real name Mike Liorti, the Canadian musician is gearing up for the release of his self-titled album later this month, and Legendary Kids Press was able to speak to him about the record and his plans for 2016.
How would you describe your music to those who have never listened to you before?
I’d describe my music as aggressive power-pop, but I think genre titles are distracting opinions.
Who were your musical influences growing up?
Blink 182 and all their side projects, Radiohead, The Ataris, Coldplay, Underoath, Postal Service, The Starting Line, The Used [and] Moneen, just to scratch the surface. I’d been to so many concerts growing up and those bands were the most memorable.

Like Pacific are a pop-punk band from Toronto, Ontario. With the release of their new album and a tour with scene heavy-weights Neck Deep and State Champs slated for this month, the band are gearing up for a pretty busy 2016. Recently, Legendary Kids Press was able to speak with bassist Chris Thaung to discuss the year ahead.
How would you describe your music to those who have never listened to the band before?
Melodic and angry.
How did the band come together?
Jordan [Black, vocalist] actually started the band in 2010 with some friends from the area of Durham region, about 40 minutes from Toronto. They had some tough luck finding a dedicated bass player and, at the time, I had just come off being an inactive musician for two years. I threw up an ad on Craigslist, as did they, and we just kind [of] found each other. Both guitarists and drummer left about a year and a half ago, so Jordan and I relocated to Toronto and decided to take another stab at this, and here we are today.
