V01d finally has new album out after 6 years + releases long lost 1st album as bonus disc
Toronto-based musician Joe Byer, aka V01d, is releasing his second album, “Greeted As Liberators”, this Friday – yep, that’s tomorrow – on Artoffact – you can order it here straight from the label. The album is the follow-up to 2009’s “This Is Not A False Alarm Anymore”.
It took Byer several years to complete “Greeted As Liberators” and as a nice extra for waiting that long the album’s first edition will be released in a double-digipak, with the second disc including, for the first time on any format, V01d’s unreleased first album, “Prototype”.
Joe Byer will perform at the Toronto Sound Festival on November 19th.

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
