Kill the Artist

"Like" our page and share with #birdsdontsingincaves to enter a draw for a Caledon Hills Brewery gift pack! Our newest and biggest release in over a year. This song is inspired by the allegory of Plato's cave. It's basically his attempt at explaining how do we know what's true and real. After seeing so much negativity on social networks, I felt it applied well to Plato. He explains people chained in a cave..staring at a wall..and to them it's all they know and the absolute tr...uth. They see a shadow of a dog and as far as they know, that shadow is a living breathing thing. One person escapes and finds a whole world. All the shadows are just reflections of the real things. That person goes back to explain it to the others who become violent, calling him dumb and refuse to believe what they see is not true. Just remember to remind yourself, there is more out there beyond this wall, and you shouldn't just believe what you see. Not even this. The drums were performed by the talented session drummer Matthew Bellissimo just before we picked up our full time drummer Reuben Bakker. The drums were also recorded by Harley Tamblin at Acrylic Recording who also mixed and produced the song. The rest of the instruments and vocals were recorded by Dayne Gerous at We Love Sound Inc over lockdown.

Even in my small town, the councilors are trying to build a $20,000,000 hangout out for themselves. It benefits the public and community in no way, its just a fancier room to talk about how they have no money to invest in the community, like all the youth centers they've closed down. At least wait until after covid. Good on this guy for making a stand.

What a time to be a band called Kill the Artist... These lyrics from the song we are just finishing recording seem to get more meaningful to me as each day passes.

I would like to assure anyone who might like our music, we will never be on TikTok...mostly because I don't know what it is or how to get on there....

Some lyrics I'm pretty proud of. I'm sure the thought has come to some of you scrolling through facebook, seeing some comments or opinions that make you mad. This lyric came from anger, then hopefulness. I hope we can all get together soon. <3 We wrote this song a few years ago but we're bringing it new life with the new band line up.

With building our new band lineup we are working on some new recordings that will come from people who will never stop making music. Our last release "Bird's Don't Sing in Caves" came out last year and managed to get a spin on 102.1 the Edge. If you haven't seen the beautiful video done by 4-Reel Media we encourage you to experience it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KikZsbfEMdo
