Hide AdThe Juno Award-winning band most recently released their single, “NOMAD,” a buoyant and provocative love song which follows the releases of singles Fire In My Soul (which has since been certified Gold) and Taekwondo (which was also released as an EP & short film).
Also, just in time for the festive holidays, the band released Holiday Beard Ballads, Vol. 1, which features band member Mike “Beard Guy” Taylor’s piano performances of holiday classics.
But the five piece phenomenon, based in Burlington Ontario, has gained its world-wide following in part due to its interpretation of already well-known hits.
For example, Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” exploded on YouTube garnering well over 35 million views in less than a fortnight and their recent cover of “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran has been viewed more than 11 million times on YouTube.

“We love to pack it up and hit the road. There’s nothing like performing live. We are so excited to visit so many new places throughout Europe and I can’t wait to drop our new show on our WOTElings.”
