On the heels of their April release ‘Dig Me Out’ - an emotional and heavy-hearted ode to the lost children of North American residential schools - Miesha and The Spanks are ready to shed some weight and break into summer with high energy new single “I Can’t Wait."
Known for their bold and explosive sound, “I Can’t Wait” sees the pair deliver a fun and raucous slice of garage-rock gold, brimming with vibrant textures. Produced by The Buzzcocks’ Danny Farrant and channeling their diverse array of power-pop and punk influences, this new release sees Miesha & The Spanks in renewed spirits - a taste of what’s to come as they work to complete their upcoming full length album. “I Can’t Wait” can be heard on season 2 of Rutherford Falls, now streaming on Peacock TV in the U.S.
On their new single, Miesha Louie says, “‘I Can’t Wait’ is meant to be a sweet summer jam, somewhere between a fond callback to summer shenanigans and daydreaming about what’s coming up next. We’ve got some laid-back garage beats, big gang vocals and oohs, hand claps, tambourine - good vibes are all over this one.”
“I think writing ‘I Can’t Wait’ was a particular challenge. It’s a song with so many good parts and it’s hard to not overplay on everything,” Sean Hamilton elaborates on the recording process, “It would be fun to have rippin’ drum fills over all the pauses and screeching lead guitar over the chorus - but just getting out of the way of how the song naturally wanted to settle was the right thing to do.“

Miesha and The Spanks are Miesha Louie and Sean Hamilton.
Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album. BikeBoy29
