Confusionaires – “I Got A Heart”

The latest focus track from ‘From The Headache To The Heartache’ is the fun and upbeat rock and roll energy of “I Got A Heart”, contrasting with thoughtful and delicate emotional rollercoaster lyrics. “I Got A Heart” provides a tongue-in cheek narrative of fragility that most people like to hide behind,” explains lead singer ‘Fat Dave’. There is clearly no doubt now that The Confusionaires are ready and willing to take their brand of Rock & Roll safely and securely to the people who love it in a time when people are hungrier than ever for the kind of music The Confusionaires have proven capable of delivering and critics agree: “…a tight, jet-fuelled gallop of cheeky, post-Sun Session rockabilly frayed at the edges by blues-punk propulsion and general genre-leakage..” The Edmonton Journal.

CONFUSIONAIRES featuring the single ‘I GOT A HEART’ and the album ‘From The Headache To The Heartache’ The Confusionaires are a Canadian (Edmonton, AB) rock & roll trio that touts themselves as a ‘rockabilly band’ and, although their ties to traditional rock & roll are strong, their music and delivery are a few steps away from the early recordings of Rock & Roll. The Confusionaires are a rockabilly band for the modern era, and have more than just a firm grip on the spirit of Rock & Roll. Not long after guitar player & vocalist ‘Fat Dave’ Johnston’s previous band ‘The Fuzz Kings’ wound down, Dave figured it was time to turn up the heat based on some musical conversations he’d had with bass player, Jayson Aschenmeier, and drummer, Adam Stark. With the spirit of ‘on-stage reckless abandon’ in mind, the formation of The Confusionaires was inevitable for the trio. The consistently high-energy performances and musical precision that The Confusionaires have since delivered has allowed them to open for numerous bands including Nashville Pussy, Supersuckers, Gutter Demons, The Watchmen and Forbidden Dimension as well as opening doors to several events and festivals including The Beaumont Blues Festival, Heliocity Festival, the opening launch party for the CCMA Music Festival, The Edmonton Works Festival, The Stony Plain Summer Session Concert Series, the Up+Downtown Festival, just to name a few. With an energetic mixture of original music and renditions of classic songs, The Confusionaires have been creating a significant stir in the music community within a very short amount of time. And while doubt now seems to be running wild in the music industry, there is a renewed optimism for the success of The Confusionaires. They were a top choice for what became the first post-COVID19 concert in Canada, along with some of Alberta’s finest performers, playing to an audience of 200 socially distanced fans. On the heels of their independently released debut album “Make A Little Mess” (2018), follows their sophomore album “From The Headache To The Heartache” (2020) which continues to garner them high praise in their home country. “From The Headache To The Heartache” demonstrates the bands desire to find their own modern-rock sound within the traditional rockabilly genre. The band fuses punk energy with twangy guitars and upright bass, a high-energy release that anyone can enjoy.
