The last few weeks have been quite busy for Vancouver musical group Collision Course.

The energetic rock band, influenced by bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, and Guns N’ Roses, released their newest single “What’s My Name?” on August 27. It’s their fourth song produced since their inception in 2018. This energetic, high-octane track doesn’t let up at all from start to finish. It’s the type of song that would be a great fit on the soundtrack of the next sports video game from EA, or an excellent warmup song that would get the crowd amped up as the home team takes to the ice at a local hockey game. It’ll be sure to leave you headbanging by the end of it, especially if you’re a fan of rock such as myself. I could easily see them being the next big thing emerging from Vancouver’s rock scene if they continue to pump out hits like this.

A week prior to their new release, Collision Course performed at the Forest Cat Music Festival in Squamish. It was their first time performing since the pandemic put a stranglehold on live music, while also highlighting some new changes to the band’s lineup. Their current lineup consists of Anton Schindler on vocals, Brad Masciotra on guitar, bassist Daniel Prince, and drummer Josh Ertman, their newest member.

Last Saturday, they did a live stream show with alternative rock band Vogue Villains and grunge duo Animals Wearing Animals, both hailing from Van City as well.

Hopefully, these events are a sign of good things to come for Collision Course. These guys have a ton of potential to knock it out of the park if they keep delivering the same energetic sound they had on “What’s My Name?”. I’ll be keeping an eye (and ear) on them over the next little while. Be sure to follow them on Instagram and Facebook so you’re in the loop when these guys post more great music.
