We’ve been turning up the volume “Lately” with Kala’s new track

Cover Art

“Lately” is the brainchild of two Canadian friends and talented artists, Kala and Todd Barriage. What started as an instrumental for Todd’s band, Theatria, quickly transformed into a pop-punk banger with Kala’s fresh spin on lyrics and melodies.

The moment I hit play, the punchy drums, fast riffs, and captivating vocal effects had me hooked. What really stood out to me were the vocal melodies and the raw and relatable story behind the lyrics. One of my favorite sections was the breakdown when Kala sings “finally got closure” leading into a big guitar progression and drawn out chorus. If you love a well produced pop-punk track that you can yell at the top of your lungs, give “Lately” a look!
