All roads lead us back to new — right, Arkells?

This week, we've got the Hamilton band's hopeful new jam leading the way into one-shot summer. Other exciting picks topping our list include the lead single from Tush's forthcoming debut album, as well as cuts from new EP drops by Status / Non Status and the Sheepdogs. Hear Inuk artist Aasiva's moving tribute to her mother and the first song from Wade MacNeil's (Alexisonfire) new psych rock project (featuring Daniel Romano), Dooms Children.

Here's your cover(s) story: Sebastian Gaskin & HAVS take on Daniel Caesar's "Best Part," Riit does a rendition of AWOLNATION's "Sail" and Ken Tizzard puts his spin on "Mad World" by Gary Jules. There's also remixes of k.d. lang and Marie Davidson.

And of course we have highlights from this week's best album releases! Get a taste of the new Mustafa, Kandle, N0V3L, Needles//Pins and Loscil records.

Kick off your weekend with The Eh! List below, presented by Mary Brown's Chicken & Taters — all Canadian and proud of it!
