In addition to just being extremely cool, Sounds of Toronto is also incredibly inspiring. Not only did creators dig up EP’s and past performances, but they’ve also looked into how the music scene affected social activism and vice-versa.

“Sounds Like Toronto features artists whose music provides messages of hope and healing, calls to resist and for social change,” said Heritage Toronto executive director Allison Bain said in a statement. “Their work resonates today. Sounds Like Toronto highlights how music can keep us connected to our city and to each other.”
