History
[edit]White Lung was 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 Vassiliou is an ex-member of the band The Riff Randells.[7]
The band was nominated for Punk/Hardcore Artist/Group of the Year at the 2011 Canadian Music Week Indie Awards.[8] Their second album, Sorry, was released 29 May 2012 to critical acclaim from Spin,[9] Pitchfork,[10] Magnet,[11] Exclaim![12] and Rolling Stone.[13]
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.[14] In 2015, the band announced that Lindsey Troy of Deap Vally had joined as a touring bass-player.[15]
The band's fourth album, Paradise, was released on 6 May 2016.[14] 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".[14]
The band announced in September 2022 they will be breaking up following the release of their fifth and final album, Premonition, in December 2022.[2]
