About Cannons
The most visible Cannons for collectors is the indie-pop trio from Santa Clarita, California, featuring Michelle Joy on vocals, Paul Davis on drums and keys, and Ryan Claphamm on guitar. Their track Fire for You gained wider recognition after appearing on the Netflix series Never Have I Ever, and the song climbed to number one on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. This version of Cannons has built a presence through streaming and sync placements, making their vinyl releases relevant to indie-pop collectors.
Beyond California, the name Cannons has attached itself to several other projects. A noisy hardcore three-piece operated out of Minneapolis on Depth Charge Records before going on hiatus, with members redirecting energy into the post-punk band Landm(ark)s. Ex-members of Bear Vs. Shark (Mike Muldoon and John Gaviglio) formed a Cannons project centered in Brooklyn after relocating from Michigan. A rock and post-punk outfit from Philadelphia operates under the moniker as well. There's also an Israeli indie-pop group formerly known as Cannons Of Pedro. Going back further, an Oi! band from Japan in the early 1990s used the name while involved in the SSS (Samurai Spirit Skin) movement.
On The Groove Hunter, we're tracking 5 editions across multiple Cannons releases, including Shadows, Fever Dream, Heartbeat Highway, Everything Glows, and the BAA Heartbeat Highway Metallic Gold variant. When hunting for these records, the artist name alone won't narrow it down far enough, so checking release dates, label information, and featured musicians is essential for landing the right pressing.
