Diving At Dawn ‘The Humbling of a Good Man’
Talking about the track, Pete explains “‘The Humbling of a Good Man’ is a soundtrack to everyday life. Dreams fall by the wayside, ambitions get cut to the quick and lives aren’t lived to the fullest. The song finds the protagonist at the end of a journey, the end of a dream, crash landing back into suburbia and trying to make sense of where he’s been and what’s to come”.
Nate Mercereau premieres “Righteous Energy” via JazzTimes
“My album Joy Techniques is about going as far as manufacturing positivity when you need to. Making and performing this record is an intentional creation of that space. ‘Righteous Energy’ is the light sizzle of synchronicity, the clean burning fuel of inspiration. It’s about feeling connected to the source and knowing you’re sharing that with your people,” says Mercereau. Recorded with just a guitar with the exception of the drums, the song uses a driving hypnotic percussion and bass pattern with a lazy guitar synth melody on the top. “I often like the sound you get when juxtaposing two different feels between the groove and the melody.” – photo credit: Alyssa Rowatt

Necking became a band before playing a note of music together. The origin story of the Vancouver-based powerhouse post-punk quartet starts at a party where all four members met for the first time and began boasting untruths about their group’s musical accomplishments. Following a series of fake names including Britney Bitch and Four White Guys, they picked up instruments for real, quickly earning a rep for their live wire performances and no-holds-barred humour. This continues on the band’s debut LP, Cut Your Teeth, a collection of songs about dating woes, cybersex, and self-improvement. Ultimately focused on the friendship shared by the women of Necking, their main motivation is making themselves laugh.
