Metalcore/post-hardcore band Lungless was formed a few years back in 2014. Since then they have released their debut EP "Inhale" with a follow-up EP "Exhale" with another EP release soon after titled "The Love That Remains". Sometime later they would release yet another EP titled "Tired\\Eyes", this being their most newest source of content, with shows set up for this next year coming up. The band goes on to talk about themselves and their music!
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Lungless is somewhat of a "super group" of local Toronto bands. It all started after our old band Constellations called it quits. Our singer at the time had left to pursue a career and the rest of us weren’t really read to call it quits. So Nick, Greg and Myself started writing and with in a couple months we had written and recorded our first EP Inhale. Curtis our drummer used to play in a band called Drag The Lake, a Toronto Deathcore band, he joined Lungless just over a year and a half ago.
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
The band name was actually Nick’s doing. He was texting someone and his phone auto correct a word to Lung Less and he immediately messaged our group and said "I’ve got the name… Lungless" and we kind of all agreed on it right then and there.
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
Lungless is based out of Toronto Ontario, Canada. Our music scene is really in a weird state at the moment. The local scene is actually at a low point in my eyes from the power house it was 5-7 years ago. The metalcore scene is on the rise again which is nice but locals only shows are generally not as popular as they used to be. There is some really solid acts from around the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and those bands are: Cold Shoulder, Falsifer, Letdown, The Parallel, Throne to The Wolves, Words Like Wildfire, Certainty, The Northern and Perfect Limbs.
4. How would you describe your style?
Our style is a combination of metalcore, post-hardcore, Nickelback riffs and Budweiser.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We have released 4 EP's to date; Inhale, Exhale, The Love That Remains and our newest release ‘ t i r e d \\ E Y E S’ all of which are available on online on what ever streaming service you prefer. People can expect aggressive, dynamic and melodic music when they chose to listen to any off our records. We’ve always chose to wear our hearts on our sleeves when we write music and we encourage our listeners to find their own personal meanings in our songs!
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
We actually released a new record called "t i r e d \\ E Y E S" on November 23rd! It’s available off our website or on any major music streaming service.
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
We are just finishing a little release run of shows around Ontario and Quebec. We plan to do some more local tours in early 2019 and we will be heading back down into the states in May with our friends in Samara. We are also planning on going out to the east coast in Canada in the summer and then some U.S. dates as well.
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
We are hoping to just play as many shows as we can and enjoy this as much as we can. The more people that know who we are the better!
9. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
All our music is available online via Spotify, Apple music, Google play or any other major streaming service. You can purchase digital copies through iTunes or through our band camp. Physical copies of our music is available on our website (www.Lungless.com) or through our bandcamp.
10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
Make your own meanings. We try to be as honest and upfront as we can with our music so we hope that you feel something and make your own interpretations of that.
