White Lung is a Canadian punk rock band that has been wielding their musical influence since forming in 2006 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Founded initially by vocalist Mish Barber-Way, guitarist Kenneth William, and drummer Anne-Marie Vassiliou, the band later brought in bassist Hether Fortune to round out their lineup, which has seen some changes throughout the years. White Lung's sound is characterized by rapid-fire tempo, slicing guitar riffs, and Barber-Way's piercing yet melodious vocal delivery, all blended into a combustible mix of melodic aggression that evokes the spirit of punk while infusing it with a modern edge.
Over the span of their career, White Lung has released several critically acclaimed albums, with "Deep Fantasy" (2014) and "Paradise" (2016) standing out as landmark records that helped cement their status in the contemporary punk scene. "Paradise," in particular, showcased the band's ability to balance intensity with accessibility, earning them nominations and awards, including a nod from the prestigious Polaris Music Prize. With songs like "Hungry," "Kiss Me When I Bleed," and the explosive "Below," White Lung has demonstrated their prowess in crafting songs that are as emotionally resonant as they are sonically compelling. Their grit and dedication to their craft are evident in both their recorded work and the raw energy of their live performances, where they connect deeply with their audience. Despite their growth and increasing recognition, White Lung remains true to their DIY roots and punk ethos, making them a respected force in the music world.
