WANDA
TALKING VIOLET
Bio:
Wanda is a band from Toronto that will hit you with a wall of sound. Textures and definition are framed by a blanket of noise. Influences including The Swirles, Bowery Electric, and of course, My Bloody Valentine weave through our time on stage. Bandmates Emily and Kev hold down a solid rhythm section under layers of lush chords and emotive melodies from Jordan. With only three people, we fill any room to the brim!

Deep Dive:
Produced and mixed by engineer Justin Meli (Universal Canada) and mastered by the iconic Heba Kadry (Slowdive, Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Haley Williams etc.) the band’s lively sophomore album “Everything At Once” packs a memorable punch. Title track “Everything At Once” and single “It’s Gonna Be Good” continue to chart on SiriusXM, averaging 400 plays on “The Verge” each month since May 2024 - “It’s Gonna Be Good” notably hitting #2 on the station’s chart in September. Editorial playlists such as “New In Alternative” (Spotify), “New In Rock” (Apple Music) and “Fresh Finds Canada” (Spotify) have also featured the album’s tracks throughout its release. With international PR support via LaMisson (France, UK) and PLUS (UK, US), national marketing support via Flying Colours (Toronto) and radio campaigning via CIRCA/Frontside (US), Talking Violet has cast a wide net in the alternative world via “Everything At Once”, currently charting 14 weeks on the NACC Canadian (peak #10) and NACC top 200 Chart (peak #50).
