Trumpets filled the Garage with bright notes during this spirited performance of "Growing Younger" by Michou. The pop-rock band hails from Windsor, Ontario, and their sophomore record, Cardona, builds on the strengths of their debut album Myshkin (2008). "I hope we don't grow apart," sings Michael Hargreaves on this joyous cut from TORO.

TORO brings you some golden footage from the vault with this performance by Halifax band In-Flight Safety. We recorded this cut in the Garage back in April 2009, when the band was touring on the strength of their album We Are an Empire, My Dear. You're sure to enjoy the smooth, melodic sound of "Amy Racina" from the record. "I'm gonna make it back, I'm gonna make it home," sings burly frontman John Mullane.

After nearly three months of touring Europe and Canada, indie-folk band Ohbijou returned to Toronto, much to our delight. The band stopped by the TORO Garage to play us "Jailbird Blues" from the 2009 LP Beacons. Listen to the tender vocals of Casey Mecija, who plays electric piano on this track, accompanied in true Ohbijou fashion by violin, cello, bass, drums and glockenspiel. It's a hauntingly perfect song for the holiday season.

Singer Marc Morrissette and support from the rotating lineup that is Octoberman warmed up the TORO studios with a rendition of "I Was Wrong." The melodic song captures heartbreak and regret with level-headed earnestness, and you can find it on the album Fortresses, the band's third full-length release. Morrissette formed Octoberman in Vancouver, but later relocated the band to Toronto.
