The Ultimate Sonic Time-Capsule of the Steel City Sound CD — Now with 10 Bonus Tracks!

A Juried Time-Capsule of the Steel City Sound. Spring/Summer 2026. Hamilton grit. NYC & local curation. This album belongs in your collection!

Missed out on the limited-edition vinyl, or just want the absolute maximum dose of the Hammer's incredible music scene? We’ve got you covered.

The 905to212 presents The Sound Of Hamilton Indie Vol.1 on CD — an expanded, high-fidelity edition that delivers even more of the definitive sound of Hamilton’s indie scene for Spring/Summer 2026.

This CD version packs a massive punch. It features all 12 hand-picked tracks from the original vinyl release, PLUS 10 additional local Hamilton artists and bands that we couldn't fit on the wax. That is an extra 40 minutes of incredible, expert-curated local music spanning the best emerging talent our city has to offer.

Our powerhouse panel of judges — featuring Hamilton’s own Kyle Fisher (The Dirty Nil), NYC’s Dave Hill, and representatives from H1Massive, NYC’s Bowery Ballroom, Grant Avenue Studio, local community radio, and Y108/107.5 Dave Rocks — dug deep into the scene to build a tracklist where Hamilton grit meets NYC ambition.
