The ground-breaking, JUNO Award-nominated and SOCAN Award-winning Toronto alt-rock duo cleopatrick return with their new single “WHAAT”, an explosive, fuzz-drenched, distortion-heavy banger. Brash, visceral, and impossible to ignore, the track marks another bold step in the captivating duo’s evolution, offering fans their first glimpse into the band’s anticipated third full-length. Produced by cleopatrick and Zig Production House (the same team that created BUMMER), “WHAAT” is available now on all streaming platforms via Nowhere Special Recordings/Thirty Tigers, along with its official video directed by Adit Dixit.
“WHAAT is us showing off this rad new bounce we found,” shares guitarist/vocalist Luke Gruntz. “It’s loose, but confident. Something shifted in our process this past year. It feels like there’s been some channeling going on. We’ve been getting out of the way of the music and just letting it happen.”
To coincide with today’s release, cleopatrick are thrilled to announce an extensive North American, UK and European 2027 headline tour. Kicking off in Paris on February the 27th, the 36-date tour includes UK stops in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Brighton and a London show at Outernet on the 18th March, 2027. Tickets for all dates will go on sale this Friday, October 16 at 10AM local time. For a complete list of dates, please see below.
cleopatrick are also set to play a few Canadian shows later this week. On Thursday, the band will hit the Bronson Centre in Ottawa followed by performances in Quebec City on October 16th at Grizzly Fuzz and in Montreal on October 17th at Theatre Fairmount.
