The Black Lungs "Hold Fast (Sink or Swim)"

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 06:54:54 +0000

The Black Lungs is fronted by Wade MacNeil who is also the guitarist for AlexisonFire. I’m guessing he just wanted a side project to be able to be the lead singer but it hasn’t been the most successful venture – all of the members of the band have quit so, when they tour, Pat Pengelly from Bedouin Soundclash will be playing drums, George Pettit from Alexisonfire will be playing bass, and Haris Cehajic from Moneen will be playing piano.

I have to say that, based on the song “Hold Fast (Sink or Swim),” I’m not terribly impressed. I really applaude Wade’s effort to try something new but sometimes, guitar players should, well… play guitar. Watch the video and decide for yourselves:

Wow… I don’t actually know how I feel about this song. I like half of it… that’s a start. I think the guitar chords are pretty hot, in all honesty, but I’m not a huge fan of how the chorus sounds. It’s not because it’s too “hard” for me, I just don’t particularly like how it sounds. Still, the video is amazing and has, actually, been recognized – it won the 2007 MuchMusic Video Award for “Best Cinematography.” Check it out:
