Description:
Inspired by such wide-ranging influences as folk, punk, classical, soul and country, Black Lungs crafts fiercely literate lyrics
and strikingly uncomplicated melodies with a raw intensity that comes from the heart and hits the listener point blank in the chest.

As guitarist with Canadian hardcore band Alexisonfire, Black Lungs’ architect Wade MacNeil is no stranger to the music scene.
In addition to extensive touring all over the world, including 4 Australian tours, the band has earned a #1 debut with their latest album ‘Crisis’, 2 Platinum records, 1 Gold record, and a JUNO (Canadian Grammy) for New Group. Black Lungs’ originated when MacNeil found himself amassing a collection of songs so introspective and personal, he wanted to sing them himself. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Billy Bragg, MacNeil seamlessly weaves folk sentimentality with punk ideology.
While the studio album features Ian Romano (from Dine Alone Music labelmates Attack in Black) on drums and old-friend
Sammi Bogdanski on piano, MacNeil recruits a revolving line-up of likeminded musicians/ friends including members of Alexisonfire, Attack in Black, Cancer Bats and Moneen when taking Black Lungs on the road.

On ‘Hold Fast’, the first single from the album, MacNeil delivers a nostalgic message with anthemic conviction. On ‘Fire and Brimstone’, MacNeil croons provoking lyrics “Will you let me go to hell however I choose…” juxtaposed by strings and
classical piano lines. Black Lungs offers something for every disenfranchised music lover. Far removed from the attacking sounds of his band Alexisonfire, MacNeil’s raw guitar lines and harsh, whisky-soaked vocals lend a soulful edge to the album.
