History
White Lung is a Canadian punk rock band formed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 2006.[4] They first attained recognition as one of the standout acts involved with the Vancouver Emergency Room scene.[5] Exclaim! named the band's first full-length album It's the Evil as 2010's punk album of the year.[6] Anne-Marie is an ex-member of the band The Riff Randells.
The band was nominated for Punk/Hardcore Artist/Group of the Year at the 2011 Canadian Music Week Indie Awards.[7] Their second album, Sorry, was released 29 May 2012 to critical acclaim from Spin,[8] Pitchfork,[9] Magnet,[10] Exclaim![11] and Rolling Stone.[12]
White Lung released their third studio album, Deep Fantasy, on 16 June 2014 through Domino Recording Company. It resulted in increased exposure and the band began to play larger venues.[13] In 2015, the band announced that Lindsey Troy of Deap Vally had joined as a touring bass-player.[14]
The band's fourth album, Paradise, was released on May 6, 2016.[13] In contrast to previous records, the album had "more story-centric songs while Barber-Way find that live the older songs "have taken on a new meaning when I'm onstage. I conjure up a new kind of anger".[13]
