Toronto’s Young Wolves THE FAME Are ‘WIDE AWAKE’…

Posted on by JL

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

Band: THE FAME

Who: Fresh Canadian foursome formed in 2017, through friends, and craigslist ads.
Their sound is a combination of Beatlesque melodies with the passion of nineties alternative rock. Inspired by artists such as Nirvana, Oasis, Strokes, Red Hot Chilli
Peppers, White Stripes, and Bob Dylan.

Pick: WIDE AWAKE – debut single that “focuses on the topic of self-reflection and the happenings of everyday life.”

Score: Wow! Talking about a loud and clear debut. Towering guitars, zealous swagger, impassioned vocals and an anthemic chorus so forceful that it makes your speakers tremble. Oh yeah, here’s a titanic mid-tempo crackerjack that leaves you speechless afterward. This hungry young Canadian foursome is unquestionably wide wake. So
will you when you hit the button right here…
