The Edmonton hard-pop band, Whale and the Wolf, recently teamed up with producer Brian Moncarz (Our Lady Peace, The Tea Party, The Trews) to solidify their impending rise to the top of the rock game.
Their song “Sharp Knife” focuses on harmful temptations such as certain relationships, substances, pop culture and social media. Things that seem harmless at first may end up changing over time and become controlling or damaging.
The main item that the band drew inspiration from was cell phones. We rarely allow ourselves to be more than an arm’s reach away from a dopamine hit in the form of a notification icon that keeps us coming back for more. In other words, it’s an unlimited gas that fuels the flame of jealousy, vanity and desire.
