September Update

Welcome back folks!

September is upon us and it is time for the monthly update!

We here at The Ottawa Sound would like to say thank you to those who read our articles and watch our videos. Sorry that we haven't been posting our history videos the last week or so but Kyle has been sick. They will be getting uploaded on the 11th promise!

We would like to congratulate Lees Avenue once again on the release of their EP and also a big congrats to Bearings for signing to their label, finishing their EP and booking a big tour with State Champs! The scene has been very busy this summer and we hope that all the fun continues as the summer ends and the school year starts!

The Ottawa Sound will be opening a new branch, The Ottawa Sound Concert Promotions! We are doing some research and planning and will release a full statement in the coming weeks!

If you want to book our photographer to come a take pictures of your shows, send us an email at theottawasound@gmail.com using the subject line: Photo shoot! Leave your show date, and relevant contact details. As well as a price range that works for you, we can do videos as well!
