Spring Tour Recap
Our first official tour is in the books, and holy forking shirtballs was it an epic one. We were only out for ten days but it felt like it went by in thirty minutes, or maybe two months, who knows. I could not be prouder of my bandmates for pulling it together and rocking the […]

“Taking You To War” – an atheist anthem by The Cancellations
“Taking You To War” is a worship song for those with nothing left to worship. It’s an ever-building folk rock tune where tender vocals are peppered with violin swells and a soaring guitar solo. At its crux, though, it is a song for the atheists, the agnostics, the deconstructionists — those who are just trying […]

It launches with a charming, wordy verse that builds to impossibly catchy floating harmonies in the chorus. When she hits the bridge we bounce to a minor key to get a touch of ’90s singer/songwriter throwback a […]

The Cancellations – ‘Walking With Weapons’ Official Music Video
“Walking With Weapons” is a dramatic build from lo-fi bedroom pop into a fierce anthem about the fear of walking alone. With last week’s SCOTUS ruling stripping rights from women and other people with uteruses, it couldn’t have come out at a more appropriate time. “Weapons” was written, performed, produced, and engineered exclusively by women.

Lyric Video for The Cancellations – “Happy Endings”
For “Happy Endings (Aren’t for Us)” we used a lot of Creative Commons photography from artists around the world. While we gave them credit in the YouTube description of the official music video, this lyric video seemed like the perfect place to tag each of them directly on their work. Check it out, read along, […]

The Cancellations – “Happy Endings (Aren’t for Us)”
The Cancellations’ newest song puts the misery in commiseration. It’s a deceptively upbeat tune with some killer violin and guitar riffs from Sarah Blick and J. Marsden, respectively. It’s the end of the world sing-along we never wanted but definitely needed. The video was shot remotely with half our members being scattered around the country. […]
