Consider yourself on high alert in the most melodic way possible. Vancouver-based progressive rock quartet The Garrett Band have a hard rockin\u2019 heads up for everyone with their new single \u201cThe Warning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arriving directly on the heels of their current top ten Cashbox Radio Top 20 Pick Hit, \u201cSystematic\u201d, \u201cThe Warning\u201d is the sonic harbinger for the band\u2019s upcoming fourth album due out on Canada Day. With commanding, staccato strings interwoven with powerful lead guitar and kick drum strikes supporting lead vocalist\/songwriter Sean Garrett\u2019s soaring voice, the song pulls no punches about some big pitfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Warning is about addiction, self destruction and a change that needs to be made before it is too late,\u201d the band asserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You never had no faith, You always crossed the warning sign<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Garrett Band\u2019s members are accomplished with a capital \u2018eh\u2019. Singer\/songwriter\/multi-instrumentalist Sean Garrett and lead guitarist\/multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones have created music together for over 30 years in the Lower Mainland. Bassist Gary Koenig has performed with a who\u2019s who of Canadian blues legends such as Big Dave McLean and Dutch Mason and drummer Mike \u201cMachine\u201d Mallais has the distinction of being named Maritime World\u2019s Fastest Drummer, along with endorsements from esteemed percussion companies such as Yamaha and Sabian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The group\u2019s fourth album and the first under their new, all-inclusive moniker is set to hit the digital streets on July 1, earlier than originally anticipated but with a newfound, do-it-yourself sense of pride. Due to COVID-19, the band\u2019s 2020 tour dates in Canada and Sweden were cancelled, so they pivoted to streaming performances, writing and recording demos for the new album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe had demoed 30 songs and had a producer interested, but with travel restrictions, we weren\u2019t able to go to Qu\u00e9bec to record,\u201d explains the band. \u201cWe decided to record at our own studio instead and the results are turning out great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n With decades of live performing experience between them, this is a band that bursts with fine-tuned prowess on stage. Consequently, they can\u2019t wait to get back out there and rock international audiences again once it\u2019s safe to do so. \u201cThe love of music and what we do is always the motivation\u201d according to The Garrett Band, and now, they\u2019ll have an all-new set of rock anthems to unleash on the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Garrett Band\u2019s fourth album is out July 1, 2021 and the lead single, \u201cThe Warning\u201d is available now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/4FqVqse3qBOHwp3zOrz1BK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
