Their new hit single RWLYD (Really Wanna Let You Down) has reached the 29th spot on the Canadian alt-charts and has become a crowd favourite at their shows.
鈥淚t鈥檚 been really fun (to play live) and when people do know it that鈥檚 even better,鈥� said Monowhales vocalist Sally Shaar.
鈥淲e always like to involve the audience as much as we can. I feel like even before we put it out, we were playing it live and testing it out and it just felt so good. Everything surrounding the song was positive, so even now putting it out it鈥檚 doing well and we had a good feeling about it all along.鈥�
Since releasing their new single and embarking on the Canadian tour, Shaar says she has a new appreciation for the support they have outside the greater Toronto area.
鈥淐algary and Red Deer stations have recently picked up the song. There鈥檚 a lot of new stations featuring it, so I think it鈥檚 awesome that it鈥檚 getting more national play. We鈥檙e excited that more and more people are down to play the song outside the province and hopefully we can grow that outside the country.鈥�
