Vancouver’s The Get Arounds Release Gritty Power-Pop Video-Single “Black and White”
Vancouver’s premiere power-poppers The Get Arounds have just released a new video in support of their new full-length album, I Wanna Live. The video for “Black And White” was shot in Vancouver, with Wazo Productions, a new company owned by Kelly and Juniper from the band Clone. Singer Lana Ryma reflects on the process, “We had a great experience filming with Wazo and can’t wait to do another one. The set took a few days to prepare and filming took about 8 hours. Plus not to mention editing time. Crazy how much work goes into a 3 minute song! It was shot at Powell Street Studios which is a multi use recording studio, production space. The song is a reflection on an old friend and the realization we are living in very separate worlds now. People change. Life goes on. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s challenging. And now we agree to disagree. The chorus idea came about from an acid trip Carman had a long time ago, when he fell asleep his dreams were all in black and white!”

“Loving Kindness” was one of the songs Joseph wrote in a borrowed vintage camping trailer parked in his driveway in the midst of the pandemic.
