The Penske File / Stomp Records.
Artist: The Penske File
Song: Bad Dreams
From: Brantford, Ontario
The band consists of James Hall, Alexander Standen, and Travis Miles. The childhood friends recorded their new album, “Half Glow,” at Drive Studios in Toronto.
Here is what Miles said in a statement about this single and music video:
“This song existed in many iterations before the final version. I had the riff and chord structure kicking around for months, maybe years. At one point all of the lyrics to the tune were completely different. What really unlocked this song was a moment backstage, somewhere on tour in Germany. There was an acoustic guitar and a fully stocked fridge. Me and Alex were swapping some new song ideas and he played a version of the first verse that hit me in a special way. It seemed to sum up what I was trying to say with this song and a lot of the other tunes on the album. Months later, at home, I put that verse into the chord and melody structure of the tune and re-wrote much of the lyrics surrounding that sentiment. In essence, the song is about clawing for optimism amidst an overwhelming fear of the self and the modern world.”
