Victoria, BC four-piece The Bankes Brothers—brothers Nelson and Morgan Bankes on vocals and guitar, lead guitarist Carson Cleaver, and drummer Gray Oxley—sound like the youthful high of a late-night romance and the blissful stagger home the next morning. The sum of their forthcoming In Waves EP’s parts is something fresh, exciting, and uniquely vibrant within the current sea of sleepy vocals and sedated guitar tones.
Following up on the previously shared title track, “Things I’ll Never Learn” hears the band reflecting on broken hearts from relationships that they just weren’t suited for. The new single speaks loud and clear to that age old problem of being drawn time and time again to entanglements of the heart that just shouldn’t be.
