by Walter Price
The recent stop-and-smell-the-roses single “Glow” from Toronto garage-pop outfit Faiyaz And The Wasted Chances is a raw ode to not only the city that has inspired it but also a sorta there’s more to life anthem as well. As a quote attributed to vocalist Faiyaz Shah explains, “Glow” is the song you hear on your 8-hour shift break to remind you that there’s worth in all of this. There are still moments worth experiencing and taking in, as small as taking a bath or as beautiful as the night sky.”
Welcome to suck my blood again
This city does it with no consent
Till you die, Till you die
Leave you high, Leave you high
Till you don’t have an ounce of blood
Till your jaded misguided as fuck
Alright
Chucka chucka ughhh
Dance to the glow the city falls asleep on love
Dance to the fever of the night
Dance to the glow the city falls alone
Dance to the fever of the night
Now its midnight
Now its three am
Now its five in the morning trains are back on
For fans of the subtly brilliant musicianship of The Libertines, the brash vocals of The Sonics, and the songwriting prowess of Cage the Elephant, this one is going to fit nicely on your favorite life-is-more-than-the-hustle playlist. And you can stream the raucous “Glow” as well as another powder-keg single, “Dead Animals”, now at the GTC.

“I wrote “Glow” at a time when I was working a full-time job while touring in multiple bands and sleeping on the floor. It’s the song you hear at 5:30am, half-dead waiting alone for a streetcar.” – Faiyaz Shah
