Karim Kanji and Gregg Tilston discuss their experience attending Canada's Rock of Fame event which was, in part, sponsored by Forty Creek Whisky. The hosts share their thoughts on the performances of various bands and artists, highlighting the talents of some lesser-known musicians. They also discussed the relevance of songs from decades ago and the importance of strong female voices in the music industry.

Karim and Gregg also mention the performances of Trooper and Crown Lands, who nailed their respective songs. They also raved about the performances by Lee Aaron, Platinum Blonde, Rough Trade, Parachute Club, Chilliwack, Lighthouse and others.

The hosts also discuss their differing opinions on approaching famous musicians and rock stars. They discuss the Canadian culture of not bothering famous people and how it can be different in other countries.

CHIII: The Come Up is STORRY’s debut album and was released three weeks before the pandemic hit. CHIII: The Come Up is based on a chapter of STORRY's life; a woman exiting the sex industry to enter the music industry, only to discover that both are equally misogynistic and problematic. The Deluxe edition marks her first time in a truly collaborative process with different artists/producers. Remixes include an old school R&B take on I Don’t Wanna Get High from Toronto’s Polaris Music Prize-nominated Junia-T, Toronto producer Jeia created a dancehall inspired remix of House & A Range, Roy Davis Jr. shares a drum and bass club-ready spin on Bow Down and London, UK’s Dustin Dooley produced the epic pop ballad anthem, Intimate Abuse
