Kendra Sheetz Edmonton-based band Real Sickies has released a new single entitled “Triage” along with an accompanying music video for the song. The track will be featured on the band’s upcoming album, Under a Plastic Bag, via Stomp Records on March 14th.
“Triage” embodies the chaos and resilience central to the band and their new album. Inspired by a harrowing car accident Ben Disaster and his family survived after returning from a European tour, the track reflects a surreal mix of panic and perseverance. After their car flipped on black ice, Ben and his wife emerged unharmed, finding their dogs casually on the highway.
“As much as we wanted to go home, we went ice fishing as the shock wore off,” Ben recalls.
This experience fueled the song, which took shape under producer Joshua Wells.
“Josh really helped bring it to life. It wasn’t complete until we let it out in the studio—it’s chaos, but real. It asks, ‘What do you fix first?’”
The accompanying video, directed by Jesse Nash, adds frenetic creativity with miniature models handcrafted by Ben, including a matchstick airplane and a glitter-covered Titanic. Check out that video below and grab your Real Sickies music and merch from Stomp Records!
