This is either our masterpiece or Exhibit A.\u000fThey told us not to release this song. They said it would get us cancelled. That was all the encouragement we needed. So here it is\u2026 our career suicide note, set to music.\u000f\u000fCanadian Whiskey is, on paper, a \u201cconventional country drinking song.\u201d Which is true, if you ignore the sarcasm, the side-eye, and the fact that it was co-written with Allan Caswell \u2014 a self-confessed leftie, boomer, hippie, and professional troublemaker. \u000fTotally coincidental. Probably.\u000f\u000fBefore anyone gets dramatic \u2014 it\u2019s not anti-American. It\u2019s just aggressively pro everyone else. Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, France, Australia. Hell, if Greenland makes tequila,\u000fthey\u2019re in too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cWattmore thing\u201d keeps catching fire:
\u00b7 Circus Life (the debut chaos)
\u00b7 Romantic Side (#3 on Australian Country Radio)
\u00b7 I Don\u2019t Miss That Woman (#7 on Australian Country Radio)
All with critics muttering things like:
\u00b7 \u201cIt\u2019s country but not quite. It\u2019s punk but not exactly \u2026 it\u2019s Wattmore and that\u2019s the point\u201d \u2013 Foxfire
\u00b7 \u201cClassic country on the surface until the punk undertones punch through\u201d \u2013 Miles Coleman
\u00b7 \u201cA perfect blend of bourbon-soaked Americana vibes and old-school country with a modern edge\u201d \u2013 The Other Side Reviews
Translation: nobody knows what box to put them in, so they just gave them good reviews instead.\u000f\u000fOn Canadian Whiskey , the Wattmore machine is in full swing:
\u00b7 Written by Aiden, Kai & Allan Caswell
\u00b7 Dragged into existence by Lindsay Waddington at LWM House Studios \u2014 the only man alive who can take Wattmore\u2019s racket, run it through a blender, and somehow hand back a radio single instead of a police report
\u00b7 Backed by some of Australia\u2019s finest country players (the kind who make it sound easy), plus the boys themselves on guitars that weren\u2019t just played \u2014 they were assaulted, interrogated, and dumped in a shallow grave somewhere in the mix<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result? Brash. Irreverent. Fresh. Smartarse. Basically Wattmore in a glass \u2014 neat, no chaser. So pour a glass, lower your standards, and hit play. Out September 26th, 2025 b ecause every great mistake deserves a soundtrack.\u000f\u000fWho Are Wattmore?\u000fWattmore are two brothers who communicate almost entirely through guitar solos, sarcasm, and eye rolls sharp enough to cut glass. They\u2019re awkward like suddenly forgetting how pockets work to somehow stumbling into brilliance while looking like they took a wrong turn at common sense.\u000f\u000fTheir songs are loaded with grit, mischief, and emotional sucker punches disguised as choruses. Expect dry humour, zero small talk, and the kind of honesty that makes PR departments break out in hives<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
