Canadian folk-influenced indiepop trio Wild Remedy presents the single 'Take The Punches' from their debut 'Songs From Home' EP, timed in sync with the launch of their Central Canadian tour dates. This is an honest collection about the realities of growing up and becoming, all set to dance-worthy rhythms and unforgettable melodies.
Making music that radiates like a beacon of hope, this all-female trio of Ottawa-born musicians' music is rooted in a love for chilling harmonies and all things folk. Just recently, the trio shared the video for 'Wild Remedy', created and animated by Jordan Van Der Linden, having shared 'What I Did Find' and the near-title track 'Home Song' earlier.
In these five tracks, Wild Remedy breathes fresh life into the Canadian folk genre by taking listeners on a journey of self-discovery to an inspiring soundtrack that will leave a lasting echo in the listener's heart. 'Songs From Home' is Wild Remedy's invitation to be part of something truly inspiring, invigorating and soul-nourishing. Their endearing brand of storytelling is also a vulnerable reflection of the trio’s heart and a please where listeners can find solace and contentment in their music.
Wild Remedy is made up of Amy Russett, Colleen Roberston and Shay Mahoney, who now has one foot in Ottawa and one in Montreal. Influenced by everything from alternative pop to folk-rock, gospel to disco, the band has been an emerging force in the Canadian folk scene since 2022, entertaining audiences with their catchy originals, new takes on folk classics, and haunting harmonies.
With strong harmonies and upbeat folk acoustics as strong points, Wild Remedy's songs range from a classic stomp-and-holler sound that makes you want to dance, to thought-provoking indie vibes that leave the listener feeling uplifted. Wild Remedy spins a beautiful sonic web between singer-songwriter offerings, indie pop and Canadian folk - perhaps what it might sound like if Joni Mitchell and Boygenius had a not-so-secret folk band.
“The release of this EP is monumental not only in our musical career as a band, but also our journey as artists and musicians, ourselves. Each song is a glimpse into fractions of our life stories, and to be sharing it with the world is a privilege. These songs have been written as a result of some of the hardest moments we’ve lived through over the last two years, but to take those challenges and make them into music is such a beautiful resolution to those stories. We’re eternally grateful to be on this journey together and with each person who listens,” says Shay Mahoney.
Stirring the heart and echoing a bright sound and iconic harmonies, Wild Remedy pays homage to their folk roots. Their music offers the simplicity found in many Americana-Country songs, while drawing from the dynamic storytelling key of indie-folk.
Having bonded over their mutual love of music and songwriting, the trio met in 2020 and finally and made their local debut in 2022, performing at farmers markets around the Ottawa area. With Amy’s powerhouse vocals and guitar, Colleen’s smooth alto tones, and Shay’s ability to sing and play anything (including guitar, mandolin, cajon and harmonica), folks started to take notice. In 2023, the band released their first two original single songs, involving producer Nate Hardy, which were met with loads of love and grew them a grassroots fanbase.
The 'Songs From Home' EP is available via Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. Wild Remedy's 'The Wild Tour' with fellow Canadian indie folk trio Wild Bloom takes place in the last few days of June, followed by a handful of shows in July and August.
