In what will most likely be the final (or near final) post here (no real reason, it just seems like we are all super burned out, I know I am. Thanks go to the chat for keeping this site on life support), I am coming full circle here (my first post was a Cursed post) and am bringing you UNWELL, a (still ongoing) pandemic project from Chris Colohan. In his own words, 
"I started making solo music just over the pandemic, & it was right as things were returning to fake normal that it really got rolling. Learning to play and record simultaneously with the total lack of moderation skills compounded by mad ADHD left me with over 100 songs spinning all at once, all of them 90% done. They comprise four full LPs of different genres (& one double one, possibly). I’m going to start posting a song from each so I have to finish what I started"

As stated above, a song from each is available on Bandcamp. They range from creepy spoken word, to moody acoustic to atmospheric doom & psych. In addition to more or less having his total musical output be the inspiration for this blog, I don't think there is anyone in the scene who doesn't owe something to him in some way or another, whether it be the reason for starting your own band or just benefitting from his natural kindness and him just being an all around good dude. Hopefully this is just the beginning of more Chris Colohan as we know it.

And for a bonus, UNWELL will be playing live for the first time at the 2024 Prepare The Ground music festival in Toronto. This festival is happening May 31-June 2 across 5 venues, and it looks like Unwell will be playing on Sunday June 2nd.

But wait, there's more. BURNING LOVE (both lineups) will also be reuniting to play their final show on Sunday June 2nd at Prepare The Ground as well. This is fucking crazy news and as long as I can get my passport straightened out in time, I will definitely be attending. Just kidding, Pat, Burning Love's guitarist, just recently broke his wrist, so unfortunately they will not be playing Prepare The Ground. Look for something from them in 2025, if the universe doesn't ruin that too. I got a passport and tickets for Sunday so I'm still going. I'll be mad, but I'm still going.
