Toronto-based act A Weekend at Ramona’s, composed of musicians Chris Munro and Ben Nunes, are releasing their high-energy new single, “I Never Get It Right.” This raw, alternative rock track channels frustration, confidence, and unrelenting energy, perfectly capturing the band’s signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and the drive to push their artistic boundaries.
Innovation lies at the heart of “I Never Get It Right.” Co-writers Munro and Nunes broke away from traditional pop song formats, embracing a freeform structure to craft a track that feels spontaneous and fresh. Producer Keegan Porter helped refine the song’s raw energy, incorporating unique production techniques like running vocals through a driven guitar pedal for added grit.
The song was inspired by the frustration of everyday missteps and the desire to create a high-energy rock track that resonates powerfully with a live audience. One of the most impactful choices was recording the vocals through a guitar amp. It added a gritty, unconventional texture that perfectly matched the song’s spirit. – Chris Munro
