We were getting antsy at band practice and decided to jam to some other people's music. This was us playing one of our favourite cuts from The Beatles album "Abbey Road". We tuned down a but 'cause Aaron was full of boogers.

Come Together (Beatles Cover)

After the success of their debut EP "Generation Why", creative forces have overtaken The Noolands and questions about the very fabric of their existence have been raised. The continued, looming friction of "the industry" has caused a break in the band's understanding of the world they live in. Everything they'd ever been told was true, but they continue to trust in themselves and in their best friends. 

Through a series of serendipitous events, a song was recorded called "Record Man". The song that is the very subject matter the lyrics consistently poke at and represents the important decisions a band must make. One day maybe we too will be grasped by the hands of the record man.

A jangling new single by Canadian band The Noolands! “Grenadine” sounds a little rock and a little roll, with a touch of gypsy soul and a whole lot of groove! Inspired by the people you always want by your side, in good and bad times. With a raw, straightforward production style, the song brings back memories of simpler days with fresh, new sonic surprises at every turn. Facing the dark things in life is tough enough without something sweet to wash it down.

More than a song, “Too Close” is an expression. Feeling boxed in, out of control and starved of choice is a potent emotion we’re all too familiar with. The moments that galvanize us can sometimes be the same moments that destroy us. It’s about that situational tipping point that we obsess over, but ultimately can’t control. You seem to get closer as you run away from your problems while you watch others on the same, repeating a loop. Like cars on the other side of an anxious highway.

You can turn around and head the other direction before you’ve gone too far, but sitting still is never an option. Your mind will race as you find your place because you fear by the time you have it figured out, it will be too late. Our new song expresses this with it’s scrappy, disco-rock vibe and poignant lyrics. Everything is always what it seems, so don’t get too close...

============


(Verse One)

Too close, you’re out of control
Don’t listen, don’t wanna know
What you’ve got has already slipped away

So sweet, more of it please
Nobody listens to me
Nobody listens to me at all

(Verse Two)

Generational discrepancies
Boot-strappin’ but I’m on my knees
I’d pay the price but giving it up is free

Low blow but it’s good to know
Ya want the best for me, you told me so
But nobody listens to me at all 

(Pre Chorus)

Everything is always what it seems, it seems my friend
Everything is always what it seems, it seems my friend
Everything is always what it seems, it seems my friend
Everything! Yeah yeah!

(Chorus)

Everyone who wants to stay, we started here on every day
And everyone who wants to go, the lights are out and there’s no one home
And everybody always says, the days go on and they never end
And everywhere it seems there’s something stuck there in-between this mess

(Post Chorus)

Woooo ooh oh ooooh!
Woooo ooh oh ooooh!

Too Close

Using our phones and the magic of the internet, we got to jam as a band again from our homes so we can stick together while we're alone! 🍷🐴 It was actually pretty fun! Should we do more of these? Maybe a cover?

Check out the full song & music video here: ffm.to/grenadine

Grenadine Acoustic (Isolation Edition)

Using our phones and the magic of the internet, we cover "Crime of the Century" by Supertramp (feat. Joshua Doerksen) 🌌 Always feels good to get together for a jam, whatever it takes! What should we cover next??

Crime of the Century (Supertramp Cover)

More information: thenoolands.com/1992

1992 is a bittersweet summer tune that explores the human fear of change. The nostalgia woven into the song invites the listener to go back to a time when certain patterns prevented a fuller expression of their innate love and authenticity. The message & lyrics can be interpreted as taking accountability for a new type of future. One of higher consciousness. The soundscape of 1992 illustrates the desire to start things over with hopeful instrumentation peeking through fragmented echoes of the past, wrapped in a vintage tone. The best part is that it was all recorded and mixed alone from home, truly an inside job. Overall the song is about accepting troublesome parts of who we are and to face ourselves instead of running away. Overcoming limitations and conquering fear were the key ingredients to this song, and we hope that it gives friends & fans a glimmer of hope in uncertain times.

============

Nothing to do, thinking of you
It’s the summer of 1992

Skies are grey, your eyes are blue
I don't know why your so hard to choose

Second guess, something to prove
I should know what I’m gonna do
And I know…

It’s killing my love!
It’s killing my love!
It’s killing my love!
It’s killing my love!

Gettin’ away without making a move
On the other side of what I’m going through

Don’t need a map where I’m headed to
There’s no address for a pint of view

When I'm lost gotta make a u-turn
around my attitude, ‘cause I know...

It’s killing my love!
(Killing my love)
Killing my love!
(Killing my love)
It’s killing my love!
(Killing my love)
Killing my love, my love, my love!

You’re killing my love!
(Killing my love)
Killing my love! Oh!
(Killing my love)
You’re killing my love!
(Killing my love)
Killing my love…

Na na na na na na na na naaa na na naaa na na (x8)

1992 (Killing My Love)

July 21st 2020

The Noolands are an eclectic group of longtime Canadian friends from Barrie Ontario with a tendency to float between rock genres and yet still maintain a uniquely focused and familiar vibe. Over the last 5 years, the group cultivated their fanbase organically from the ground up with two EPs, rounds of singles and music videos, eventually producing two charting songs, sold out shows & festivals around Canada and becoming a beloved staple of their hometown music scene and beyond. Their latest nostalgic summer release 1992 melds sounds similar to Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire and Wilco with the unstoppable momentum of Oasis. The song explores the fear of change and accepting troublesome parts of who we are. Remaining on the outskirts of the industry, the band continues to quickly maneuver obstacles together and freely change direction to continue deepening their connection with friends and fans in a new world with many new songs...
