Roam by Wil – Degrassi Season 13 Episode 28

After apologizing to Drew, Eden asks if they could get coffee, but he turns her down as he has feelings for Claire.  Meanwhile at the science fair Alli is admitting that she wants Dallas to be her boyfriend.  This is a bone chillingly beautiful song from William Mimnaugh (Wil for short), who is about as Canadian as maple syrup, the Rockies, and Degrassi.  He’s currently on his fifth studio album, and cites Ray LaMontagne, My Morning Jacket and Gomez as influences.

Too Much by Ourlives – The Fosters Season 1, Episode 21

Icelandic band Ourlives have contributed this acoustic track to The Fosters, when Dani and Brandon share a charged moment, pulling each others’ clothes off.  With a sound reminiscent of Radiohead and Muse, their debut album We Lost The Race came out in Iceland in 2008, creating a stir.  They released a US EP, Out of Place, in 2011 … and we think they are poised for big things to come. 

Under The Earth by Yeah Yeah Yeahs – The Originals Season 1, Episode 18

This Yeah Yeah Yeahs track has the perfect amount of bluesy hammond organ melded with some weird sounding percussion and vocal effects to make it a great choice for this episode of The Originals in which Monique, Abigail and Davina go on the rampage with their powers.  The Yeah Yeah Yeahs formed in New York city in 2000 and have gone from strength to strength, scooping up armfuls of Grammy and MTV Music Award nominations and supporting the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and The White Stripes on tour.

You’re No Good by Linda Ronstandt – Supernatural Season 9, Episode 17

Whether or not you’re a fan of the flared pants in the video, this classic rock song is a timeless hit that scored Linda Ronstandt a number one in 1975.  It’s playing in the background as Crowley confronts Dean to ask him why he’s not treating the Mark of Cain as a gift.  The song title is pretty appropriate given that Crowley is the King of Hell!  Listen to the sweet guitar lick below.

Celebrating Nothing by Phantogram – The Originals Season 1 Episode 17

This track sounds like the best bits of Goldfrapp during the Supernature era, and Phantogram vocalist Sarah Barthel certainly could be the illegitimate singing child of Alison Goldfrapp!  This nifty little electronica/trip hop track is playing as Genevieve and Klaus kiss after one too many drinks.  Phantogram are now on their second studio album, Voices, and are currently embarking on a north American tour.
