Nick Ferrio sings "Quit The Band" but what is he saying?

Peterborough player Nick Ferrio’s new album, “Have A Nice Day” has a song on it called “Quit The Band.” Is it a reply to Sappyfest alumni Shotgun Jimmie’s “ Join The Band” - is this a feud!!!

Not so fast Hombre. . .

"Quit the Band is a story song all about how everyone should join a band.” (Nick says in a press release) “The first verse tells the story of the first band I played in, and how amazing it felt to start a band with friends. The second verse is about a turbulent tour I did in Europe, where we were robbed and had our window smashed out of our van, but we kept on, because the show must go on! It was a wild experience, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! So everyone: start a band!"

Nick Ferrio singing for change on new track 'How Will I Know'

Slowcity.ca pal, Nick Ferrio, has released a video for his single, “How Will I Know”. All of us involved in the arts wonder whether what we make is of any relevance - but then we say fack it and keep on keeping on.

In a press release Nick says:

‘“How Will I Know” is a philosophical song; it’s about my relationship with music and thinking about why I’m drawn to make it, especially in today’s day and age, with the music industry changing. We’ve all heard over and over again about how the music industry is in the pits and how culturally music isn’t as valuable as it once was. I guess the nagging question in this song is, is music still worth something? The answer to that is yes. Music has the power to transform, to give meaning, to create connection, to make change. Ultimately, music is powerful. And because of that, music will survive whatever happens to the music industry.’
