The title track of Tristan Armstrong’s forthcoming album is a cathartic release of rock-and-roll energy inspired by the dualities of urban life and a longing for home. Written during his early days in Toronto after moving from Vancouver Island, the song melds raucous rhythms with an undercurrent of melancholy, creating a dynamic sound that captures the bittersweet transition of leaving behind the familiar to chase a dream. Rooted in rock, indie, and roots traditions Armstrong’s full-length debut album The Lonely Avenue displays his signature guitar-driven aesthetic and vintage rock-and-roll swagger that evokes both grit and nostalgia.
