Montreal musician Jackson MacIntosh was a vital figure in that city's indie rock scene in the 2010s, singing and playing guitar with his band Sheer Agony, playing bass in TOPS, co-running a studio that recorded Homeshake (among many others), and making records under his own name, too. MacIntosh got his start in the noisy indie rock band Play Guitar, playing a variety of instruments on the (Rated) PG album from early in 2010 and the self-titled album they released later in the year. Ballad-heavy and indebted to the smooth sounds of Todd Rundgren's early period, his debut solo album took three years to finish. My Dark Side was released by Sinderlyn Records in March of 2018. ~ Tim Sendra
