Most people have at least one artist they tell themselves they must see live one day. Some years they just don’t come to your city, or the dates don’t work out, or the album releases don’t come as often as you’d hoped.

Old Soul, a rock band together for nearly a decade, released their new album, Undercurrent, two weeks ago. I streamed it soon after it dropped. It was early morning on the bus to work, and I wasn’t expecting the tone change for this album after having listened intensely to their first album, Overgrown, three years ago. The audience was given context for this upcoming project: flowing water, the colour blue, and a siren lounging along a rock face.

Founded in 2013, GAMERella has spent over ten years building a community of gamers across Canada and in its hometown of Montreal, Quebec. Celebrating over 10 years with thousands of alumni across the country, the GAMERella Game Jam will be happening November 15th and 16th, alongside the 2025 Montreal Games Week. Every year, GAMERella invites game lovers from beginners to experts to join in on the weekend-long game-making workshop, where they team up with other folks to create a game over two days. GAMERella is a springboard for many people interested in the video game industry from underrepresented communities (women, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, etc.).
