The Sarandons

With their sophomore record, Drawing Dead, heartland Canadian indie rockers, The Sarandons, explore “ephemeral fragments” (Walter Kraus, Beatblogger), “hard truths” and “hope amid chaos” (Matt Adams, Vocal Media) to achieve what Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung calls “exquisite Americana” and Souffle Inedit calls “sincere and powerful” and “a must” for 2025. Earning a place on multiple ‘best of 2024’ lists, the five-piece captivates with Craig Keeney’s electrifying and inventive guitar solos and Damian Coleman’s fiercely melodic bass lines - but the true power is grounded in the band’s ability to cope with life’s wreckage as told through the lens of lead singer, Dave Suchon's lyrics.
