Photo credit: Conor Cunningham    Today The Zolas reveal new single, “Let It Scare You.” The release comes hot on the heels of “Another Dimension (feat. Cadence Weapon)” which found the band defying expectations as they collaborated with rapper Cadence Weapon for a track that spoke to their love of hip hop. With “Let It Scare You“ the Vancouver-based band return with a single that reminds us that they know their way around a hook centered in the world of British-influenced pop rock. Of “Let It Scare You” The Zola’s Zach Gray says "This song came to me during a shaky time in my relationship. Normally my default reaction is to bail immediately and be alone because the idea of committing to something that needs work freaks me out. The title is a mantra I use for a lot of things, one of which is countering the impulse to gtfo at the first sign of trouble. You can be a neat freak with your apartment but not with your life. Things will get messy and that's a scary thing. Let it scare you."   LISTEN TO “LET IT SCARE YOU” HERE

2016 saw The Zolas released their Juno-nominated, critically acclaimed breakthrough LP Swooner. The follow up - featuring a new direction for the band - was planned for 2020 Yet, like with so many of their contemporaries, Covid led The Zolas to pivot and instead they launched a new campaign they dubbed “Z Days” which promised fans a new single on the 2nd of each month. True to their word the band has shared 5 singles this year including Octobrer’s “I Feel The Transition” which entered the US Submodern chart at #22, and has been added to several stations across Canada. The series kicked off in June with “Energy Czar” which was followed by July’s “Come Back To Life” and “Ultramarine” in August. September saw the band unveil “Wreck Beach/Totem Park.”   The tracks that have been featured during Z Days” touch on everything from waking up to Canada’s appalling treatment of its First Nations (“Wreck Beach/Totem Park”) to global wealth disparity (“I Feel the Transition”). Throughout The Zolas haven’t been afraid to get serious on the lyrical side of things. “Honestly every album I’ve ever written is about nostalgia and the apocalypse and these tracks have been no different” Gray notes, “but looking at it now these songs feel really specific to our moment in time. It’s a cross-section of conversations I’ve had  and overheard in these past few years. Conversations we’ve all been a part of whether we like it or not.”     The Zolas are Zach Gray, Dwight Abell and Cody Hiles.     More music and news are on deck from The Zolas!
