Kendra Sheetz Toronto’s melodic punk lifers Wasting Time released a new single entitled “Ripped Blue Jeans” along with an accompanying music video.
The track captures that feeling of late ’90s freedom, cracked sidewalks, stickered guitars, the smell of sweat and stale beer in community-hall venues, and long summer nights when the world still felt small enough to dream your way out of it. The song hums with the spirit of a simpler time, before algorithms and playlists, when discovery meant burning mix CDs or catching a new band between Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtracks. You can almost see the baggy Dickies, chain wallets, and flannel shirts tied at the waist
Formed in 2017, the band has built a catalog rooted in melody and sincerity: five EPs, three full-length albums, and a streak of singles. This new single was mixed and mastered by Matt Gauthier at Arc Studios, and offers the first taste of the band’s upcoming full-length, Are You Out Of Your God Damn Mind?, due out later this year!
