Our new single ‘AMERICA’ is out everywhere TODAY! It’s a love letter to the country in which many bands want to break it big. Like other Canadian acts before us, we see America as the promised land where bands go to realize their musical dreams. We’ve made the pilgrimage to the US a few times during our career, playing stages in New York City’s Bowery district, filming videos in Times Square, rocking out in Cleveland, and soaking up the sun in San Diego—the experiences have consistently been magical. Our love of American hard rock has always been tempered by an equal love of Motown soul, sun-drenched Beach Boys-esque harmonies, and Black Crowes-style southern rock. The influence of the US on Fool’s Union’s brand of rock ‘n’ roll runs deep.
The track “America” combines the Southern roots rock sound of The Band and the catchy Brit rock stomp of Oasis into an undeniably memorable three minutes of music. The song features a dual harmony vocal from Nick and Adam that is equal parts Rick Danko & Levon Helm and Liam & Noel Gallagher. If America needs a new national anthem, here it is.
