Record Store Day Canada is proud to announce that legendary Canadian rockers Honeymoon Suite have been named the official Record Store Day Canada Ambassadors for 2026. To celebrate their role as Ambassadors, the band will release a special, Record Store Day exclusive version of their hit-packed compilation The Singles, issued on Limited Edition Translucent Red Vinyl and only available at independent record stores across Canada.

This exclusive collector's item features some of the biggest songs in Canadian rock history, including "New Girl Now," "Burning In Love, " "Wave Babies," "Stay In The Light," "Feel It Again," and "What Does It Take" (from the One Crazy Summer soundtrack). It also includes the band's hard-hitting contribution to the Lethal Weapon soundtrack.

"We are thrilled to be the Record Store Day Canada Ambassadors for 2026, " says Honeymoon Suite’s lead guitarist and songwriter, Derry Grehan. "To me, vinyl isn't just a format; it’s how I fell in love with music in the first place. There’s a magic to holding the jacket, reading the liner notes, and dropping the needle that you just can’t replicate. We’ve always been a band that lives for the fans and the music, so getting to champion independent record stores, the place where that magic still lives, is a huge honor us."

“We are so excited to have Canadian music legends Honeymoon Suite representing us as RSDC Ambassadors in 2026,” says Ryan Kerr from Record Store Day Canada. “With an arsenal of great music under their belts, The Singles album is hotly anticipated by fans coast to coast. Honeymoon Suite’s catalogue represents some of the greatest and most memorable music in Canadian history, so we are proud to be working with them to bring that music to fans through our country’s incredible independent record stores."

“Match Made In Hell,” the debut full-length album from Bad Marriage via RFK Media and Amplified Distribution, officially hit the streets worldwide on Friday the 13th of March. Riding a massive wave of positive response to the presale campaign, over 30K immediate organic views on the official music video, and packed houses on tour, it seems the honeymoon has officially begun.

The first single/title track has already impacted Apple’s “Breaking Hard Rock” and “New In Rock” playlists. The release has already been front-page news on all the major rock media sites. And the hardcore fans (lovingly known as the “Bad Marriage Society”) are unanimously standing at the altar in praise as they begin to consummate this sonic love affair by cranking up the album over and over again.

CDs and vinyl LPs are available now at https://rfkmediashop.com and https://badmarriagemusic.com, and of course all major online retailers like Amazon, Tower Records, and Target. The CD includes an extra bonus track that wouldn’t fit on the vinyl version, plus 12 other songs joined forever in unholy matrimony on this timeless collection. The LP with gatefold is pressed on mixed ‘blood moon’ colored 140-gram vinyl.

This powerhouse band out of Boston has been winning over the fans and the media for several years now and is well-positioned for the big time, and the new album “Match Made In Hell” fully embraces the spirit of their classic roots while capturing a modern active rock sound. BadMarriage – guitarists Mike Fitz and Tommy Skeoch (who was a founding member of Tesla), vocalist Jonny Paquin, bassist Todd Boisvert, and drummer Michael Delaney – is already on the road and plans to stay there throughout 2026, with a full calendar of tour dates leading up to two appearances at this year’s Monsters On The Mountain rock festival August 22/23, on the bill with Bret Michaels, Night Ranger, and more.

Canadian-born Rick Hughes is the lead singer of the legendary heavy-metal band Sword and of the hard-rock band Saints & Sinners, during his career he has played hundreds of headline shows and has opened for Metallica, Motorhead, Metal Church, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Warlock, Anthrax, Black Label Society, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, WASP, Helix, Styx, and Lee Aaron.

His new solo album "Redemption" was produced by John Webster (Aerosmith, Tom Cochrane, Motley Crue, etc.) in Vancouver and Los Angeles and features some of the top metal and hard-rock musicians in the world, including an incredible reunion for its first single and video.

"After over four decades of touring and recording, it’s truly special to see this anniversary release come to life," Curran says. "The artwork, rare photos, and the discovery of the Cleveland Agora live audio from our very first show in the USA add a perfect finishing touch for the band and our dedicated fans.”

Dixon adds, "Our show at the Redwood Theatre will be the first time presenting the mighty Hatch sound in an Unplugged & Acoustic format. Still intense, with the same tightness and power that all these years together have built, but with more nuance and emphasis on the songs and vocals. We have some surprises planned and we can't wait to show off our skills in a new setting!”
