Executive dysfunction means I can’t remember to post about new releases until six months after we release them, but I’m pretty damn proud of this one. “Taking You to War” is as much a nod to the Nashville Sound as it is to generations of anti-authoritarian rockers. – Rachel Cholst, The Boot Read More: The Cancellations…

I bought my first guitar amp this week, and then I saw Slothrust and Calva Louise
I grew up around music. My dad played keys and sax in bands in Chicago, bringing me along whenever clubs thought it wasn’t a big deal to have a ten year old bouncing around on the side of the stage. I started playing pretty early on, moving from flute to sax to bassoon before falling…
New Release: “Happy Endings (Aren’t for Us)” by The Cancellations
My Nashville-based but cross-country rock band The Cancellations released our first single of 2022 yesterday!

We miss you, Derek. I…

Tragedy, however awful, breeds incredible art, and so there was a massive influx of beauty in this terrible year. This song was written in 2018…
