Songs of the Week: October 02 - 08, 2023
“There's Never Enough Voices” by WAASH
You may know Vancouver’s Andrew Bishop, as he’s played with (or alongside) about 73% of all Vancouver bands, including Twin River, Alex Little & The Suspicious Minds, dwi, and White Ash Falls.
Now, Bishop is branching out with a brand new group, WAASH. The first single, “There's Never Enough Voices”, is a swirling, shoegaze tune that Bishop says is “about trying to come to an understanding about the intentions within your actions and the realization of your past mistakes. Quite often we get caught in the moment and don’t understand the consequences.”
The self-titled, debut EP comes out November 20th, and you can check out the first single below!

“I Really Like Your Style” by Combine The Victorious
A new single from Vancouver’s Combine The Victorious has been released, and on top of that, it’s the first one they’ve written with new member and guitarist Dan Clement.
The song starts out soft and airy and then builds up into a fun little reggae track you can dance and sway to.
The band will be performing at the Cascade Room on Thursday October 19th as part of their After Dark series.

“WannaBe” by Autogramm
A couple weeks ago, Vancouver’s power-group Autogramm dropped their first single from the upcoming album, Music That Humans Can Play.
“WannaBe” (no, not that one) delves deep into the band’s 80’s influences, with a chorus that will instantly get stuck in your head.
Drummer/singer The Silo explains that, “WannaBe began as a way to say to the most important person in my life that I will stand beside them no matter what their direction, self-opinion, or physical state of being. Upon further reflection, I thought it could apply more broadly to all of our relationships in life: it’s a declaration of love and support to any friend, child, or lover who is going through a change in their self-perception; the idea that gender, occupation, size, skin, are all merely physical manifestations of being and will never matter as much as the person underneath it all.”
Autogramm features members of Black Mountain, Destroyer, Lightning Dust, and lots more, and you can hear the full album Music That Humans Can Play when it’s out November 14th.
