Wow this new track by The Watchmen, ‘Gasoline’ is a bouncy number with the vox bouncing between Michael Stipe and Eddie Vedder over a Northern Pikes not so pretty riff - but obv is Danny Greaves and Joey Serlin, Ken Tizzard and Sammy Kohn. Track is first new work in over twenty years and its a beauty on the road radio friendly beast of a number bursting as it does out of the speakers. The Watchmen have been on view of late winning the Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize for its 1992 debut album, McLaren Furnace Room and stepping periodically into live shows. They played the ol’ Shwarock city back in the Spring of this year and will play Danforth Music Hall Saturday Nov 21 2026. Yah, I’m all over this, bring back the 90s CanCon fab live bands, yes please, and The Watchmen were up there among the best man.
