WATCH IN-STUDIO VERSION

FULL-LENGTH ALBUM COMING THIS SPRING

BAND ON NORTH AMERICAN TOUR THROUGH
APRIL AND MAY WITH STOPS IN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC

Toronto, ON – April 2, 2018 –  Today, Brooklyn-based collective, MEGATIVE, (Tim Fletcher of The Stills, Gus Van Go, Like Minds, and Screechy Dan) shares One Day…All This Will Be Gone, the third single from their new full-length album, set for release this spring via Last Gang Records. To capture the aesthetic of this post-apocalyptic track, the group recorded an intimate in-studio version. Watch it here. The single follows Can’t Do Drugz (Like I Used To) and More Time, highlighting the band’s unique blend of dark and deep subterranean dub, heavily influenced by the sounds that came out of the UK punk and reggae scene of the late 70s. The band is on tour in Canada and the US through April and May, with stops in Ontario and Quebec. See a complete list of dates below.

"You might think all the great things you accomplish in your life actually really matter,” vocalist, Tim Fletcher, says of the track. “You might build great empires out of your wildest dreams coming true. You might build kingdoms, and feel validated and vindicated and victorious. But we just want you to know, that one day, all this will be gone. And you will be dead, and no one will be around to remember you ever were. See you on tour this spring!"

Producer, Gus Van Go, adds, "The original concept for the song came up because, every time one of us was upset about something, Tim would wave his hands around and say, ‘guys...don't worry... one day, ALL this will be gone!’ And we'd somehow feel a little better...  perspective."

Part Gorillaz, part The Clash, laced with King Tubby-style dub FX and swirling sirens straight out of Massive Attack’s sound-system, MEGATIVE is the sound of all these jamming together in an underground basement after-party at the end of the world. Tim Fletcher’s (The Stills), vocals channel the haunting, cool detachment of a young Terry Hall (The Specials) and fuse with the moody subs generated by producer, Gus Van Go (Arkells, Whitehorse, Wintersleep) – of cult-Montreal punk ensemble, Me, Mom & Morgentaler – who has gone from frontman in his own right, to become a much-sought-after, decorated producer in the contemporary independent scene. Together, these longtime fellow conspirators have been plotting the birth of MEGATIVE for many years. The pair then got together with NYC production duo, Like Minds, and Brooklyn-via-Jamaica MC, Screechy Dan (Ruff Entry Crew), and started making songs, for themselves.
