White Lung

White Lung was a punk rock band formed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in 2006. The core members were Mish Barber-Way on vocals, Kenneth William on guitars, and Anne-Marie Vassiliou on drums. The band gained early recognition within the Vancouver Emergency Room scene. Their debut full-length album, “It’s the Evil,” was released in 2010 and was named the punk album of the year by Exclaim! magazine. This early success led to a nomination for Punk/Hardcore Artist/Group of the Year at the 2011 Canadian Music Week Indie Awards.

Their second album, “Sorry,” released in 2012, garnered critical acclaim from publications such as Spin, Pitchfork, Magnet, and Rolling Stone. The band continued to evolve its sound with “Deep Fantasy” in 2014, leading to increased exposure and performances at larger venues. In 2016, they released their fourth album, “Paradise,” which showcased a shift towards more story-centric songwriting. White Lung concluded their career in 2022 with their fifth and final album, “Premonition,” announcing their breakup following its release.
