DTTB Ep. 58 – ANOTHER POWERHOUSE OTTAWA VOCALIST. THIS TIME KILLING ROCK COVER OF ARIANA GRANDE. MUST SEE
Just a couple of weeks ago, in Episode 55 of DTTB I had the band Complicit ft. Ella Wile on vocals for a cover of “Blinding Lights” by The Weekend. Fair to say, she turned some heads.
Complicit is a side project from Cevilain drummer Andrew Parmalee (Parms). Who happens to run Fill The Void Studios out of his house and is also a music teacher. So, he knows what’s what when it comes to the Ottawa music scene. Cliff (Cevilain vocalist & guitarist) joins us on the podcast and provides some backup grit (girth?) to the chorus. Cevilain, just released a MASSIVE single with Adam Gontier called WARS. That was featured in Episode 53
This video was released this past Friday, I didn’t know Alanna Sterling before, but I’m glad I do now. They absolutely CRUSH this version of “Positions” by Ariana Grande. If you’re not familiar with the original (I was not), check out the video.
Complicit manages to take these songs and angst them up to 11, so to say. A good song is a good song, it just depends what style you like best.

Most recently he was Program Director, Music Director and Afternoon Drive Host at Ottawa’s Rebel 1017 where he essentially got to create all the programming and curated the stations playlist, primarily from his own music library. His passion for music was clear to anyone that listened to his show. Darryl always made great efforts to elevate independent and emerging artists and built up a reputation as an interviewer. Darryl Spring says, “Artist interviews rarely happen on radio anymore, when they do its brief and offer little depth, and that means music fans are really missing out. The goal of my podcast is to provide people who are passionate about rock with a new and innovative connection to the Canadian Music Industry and the bands and artists they love and support.”
