What would southern Ontario rock sound like if it was Every Time I Die?

This song.

This is the kind of sound I wouldn’t be bummed out by if all rock and roll ended up sounding like it for the next decade or so. It’s a concoction of turpentine, fat-ass tones, and whiskey; a heady brew, and one that you’ll find yourself going back to over and over again. This song is a revelation, a blueprint that other bands might inevitably start to follow. You heard it here first: Wellington County just gave birth to a band that’s putting rough-ass tones on a level.

Grab a bottle from behind the bar, run out into the snow, and pass out with this fire in your ears!

Run Time: 3:28
Release Date: February 4, 2016
