Union Duke – 123

For American artists combining genres like country, folk, pop and rock, the term β€˜Americana’ was invented. So why not call this melting pot β€˜Canadiana’ when served up by musicians from Canada? Union Duke is a great example of an act qualifying for this umbrella genre.

Following the release of their second album Golden Days, in 2016, the band have been touring constantly. Thereafter, they went into the studio, ready to share their lessons learned. They came out with a tape full of songs about love, distance, heartache and revelry. These will come out over the coming months.

123 is their fourth single in 2019 already. Union Duke explain: β€œThe original plan was to write a balls-to-the-wall drinking diddy with shades of psychedelia and no social commentary. Apparently, we’re too jaded for that now. Pretty quickly, it turned into a song about being young and getting drunk as a desperate act of escapism.”
