Envy Of None Return With New 3-Track Single ‘The Thrill’, New Video Out Today

Following the release of their lauded second album Stygian Wavz in March, Canadian four-piece Envy Of None are back today with a 3-track single and a brand-new video. The new offering features an alternative version of album track, a demo version, and the album track itself.

Bassist Andy Curran states “Thrill of the Chase was one of the last songs we worked on before handing in the completed record. It started with Alf’s funky demo and Maiah loved it and was very vocal about completing it. She and I were wanting to add something up tempo to the record and this one, despite being a little left of center style wise seemed to fit nicely. It has a cool funky positive vibe that we enjoyed exploring, especially the outro dance party section!” 

Alfio Annibalini adds “At first glance, this track seems like an odd choice to include on the album, but once Maiah added her vocals, the track instantly sounded as if EON had walked through a new yet familiar door. And as a special bonus, the remix even features a cowbell!”

Alongside the digital release, Envy Of None will also be releasing ‘The Thrill’ as a 12” coloured vinyl version of the single with all proceeds from this release donated to UNHCR’s response to the Ukraine emergency. Speaking on the charity aspect of the single, the band shared:

“It is disheartening and infuriating that three years after Envy Of None initiated a fundraiser in support of the people of Ukraine, as they battle the invasion of their sovereign country by Russia, we are once again trying to do our part and ask you, sincerely, for your support in this repeated initiative.  Every little bit counts, and our hope is that our collective assistance will ease their burden even a little and we never have to do this again. While Ukraine’s most formidable ally loses interest and seems to support the Russian campaign of terror, it is left to us to do what we can.

We are proud of the work we have done and prouder still of our commitment to make the world a better place than it is.  With the purchase of this record, you too are helping ease their pain.  Thank you for your kindness and generosity.”

"The Evolving Mind of Neil Peart | Ayn Rand, Misinterpretations, and What a Politician Got Wrong" - New deep-dive video from The Tapes Archive

Yesterday The Tapes Archive Youtube channel published their latest deep dive video "The Evolving Mind of Neil Peart | Ayn Rand, Misinterpretations, and What a Politician Got Wrong".  This is a fan-made yet professionally crafted documentary that traces the Rush lyricist-drummer’s changing views on Ayn Rand, corrects long-standing media misreads, and examines how a politician later misused Rush lyrics. 

Created by Emmy Award–winning documentarian Alan Berry, a Rush fan for more than 40 years, the release comes in the lead-up to Neil Peart’s birthday on September 12, offering fans timely context and fresh insight as tributes proliferate across the rock community.  “This one is for the listeners who’ve debated Peart’s ideas for decades,” said Alan Berry, creator of The Tapes Archive. “As a lifelong fan, I wanted to separate myth from record—showing how Neil’s thinking evolved and why the shorthand takes miss the point.”
