Fake Shark to release new album “Afterglow” Jan 12th & Embark on Cross Canada Tour with Hotel Mira

Vancouver’s Fake Shark are set to release their new album “Afterglow” on January 12th before embarking on a cross Canadian tour with Hotel Mira. Afterglow features their recent single “Exactly What I Thought You Were,” which debuted at #1 on the Breaking Alt Chart, the 13-track album features other fan favourite hits, like their Top 30 radio smash “Save Me” and infectious anti-summer anthem “Bummer Summer,” in addition to a handful of freshly minted originals that will have fans bopping along across the country.

On the album, the band shares: “Afterglow is a record about surviving a time and a situation where a lot of people I care about didn’t. It’s about hopefully coming out of the other end as a stronger and smarter person. It started in a way we’ve never started a record before. Usually, I, Kevvy, will just write on my own throughout the year, and we would get together as a band in a studio with an engineer to lay down bed tracks. This time, we decided to rent a mansion on the water, hire an amazing engineer named Karl Dicaire, and set up a recording room in this library, and also show up with no ideas. Each day wed get up, have a coffee, and Alex would get on the drums, me on bass, and wed work out a structure for a song, just instrumentally, and then everyone would join in with ideas, I’d write lyrics while they were tracking, and you’d have a finished song by the end of the day! It was so inspired.”

On Jan. 17th Fake Shark will be embarking on a cross Canadian tour with fellow Vancouver alt-rockers Hotel Mira, playing from Victoria to Ottawa and everywhere in between! You can check out the tour dates below!
