Canadian band Monowhales made an impact in 2017 with their debut single ‘Take It Back’. The song was part of a collaboration with producer Al-P (Death From Above 1979, Young Empires) that resulted in their debut EP titled ‘Control Freak’. Countless appearances across Canada followed over the coming years, including support slots for K.Flay, Sloan, and Marianas Trench. Continuing an upward journey, Monowhales was awarded the Jim Beam INDIE Award for Best Alternative Artist/Group of the Year in 2019, and saw multiple songs from Control Freak featured in Netflix’s ‘Spinning Out’ series and the CBC drama ‘Northern Rescue’. Success continued in 2020 with the release of a new single “All or Nothing” in late August 2020.
The band members Sally Shaar, Zach Zanardo, and Jordan Circosta are back with a new single called ‘Out With The Old’. This is an anthem for the disenfranchised, centering on the loss of innocence and entitlement which we’ve all experienced over the past year. Despite the recent global challenges, the band has a positive perspective – Maybe the world isn’t what you thought it was, or maybe it’s even worse than you could have ever imagined but, Like it or not, it’s our generation’s responsibility to carve a path forward. This song is the feeling of being made to choose where there’s no choice at all, but taking a vicious grip on hope despite everything going on in our lives. The band is moving forward with positivity despite the darkness we’ve all experienced, working towards more caring, nurturing, and inclusive ways of thinking and treating one another. Check out the track!
