The 2014 Juno nominees were announced today and I am not going to list them all here because I’m not made of internet so click here if you are so inclined: CANADIAN MUSICIANS!
Some local (or basically local) folks made the list, click around and get familiar:
Matt Mays (rock album of the year for Coyote)
Henry “Cirkut” Walter (songwriter of the year on Katy Perry’s “Roar”; Pitbull’s “Timber” and Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball”; Jack Richardson producer of the year award for “Wrecking Ball” and Robin Thicke’s “Give it 2 U”)
Ryan Hemsworth (electronic album of the year for Guilt Trips. We are still claiming him, goddamnit)
JRDN (still claiming, as above. R&B/soul recording of the year for Can’t Choose feat. Kardinal Offishall)
Classified (rap recording of the year for Classified, single of the year for “Inner Ninja” with David Myles)
Dean Brody (country album of the year for Crop Circles. he’s sort of local? Maybe you’ll see him at the Chester version of Salim’s)
Robin Thicke was nominated for a bunch of things, AGAIN. Suggestion: Watch this instead of raging about that fact.
