Canadian Indigenous rockers The Hello Crows preview their debut full length album with new single ‘Red Flag’. The Wabanaki-based band incorporates their native traditions with straightforward heartland rock sounds. ‘Red Flag’ showcases this sound with reverb drenched guitar and heartfelt vocals. The album was recorded at band member Dylan Ward’s Shiftwork Studios.
Castle Records, Atlantic Canada’s only Indigenous run label, will release the self-titled album on all platforms on 30th September, Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Day. The band will be touring extensively throughout Canada to support the release.
