Wattmore serves a Sharp Shot of Rebellion with Their Bold New Single “Canadian Whiskey”
From the heart of Brisbane, Australia, comes a country duo that refuses to play by the rules. Wattmore, made up of two brothers with guitars, sarcasm, and absolutely no filter, delivers a fiery dose of satire and swagger in their latest release, “Canadian Whiskey.” It’s the kind of track that laughs in the face of “safe” songwriting cheeky, self-aware, and gloriously unpolished in all the right ways.
“Canadian Whiskey” might pass as your typical country drinking anthem. But listen closer, and you’ll hear something far sharper bubbling beneath the humor. Written by Aiden Wattmore, Kai Wattmore, and legendary songwriter Allan Caswell, this track dismantles the idea of conformity in both sound and message. The brothers were told not to release the song that it might get them “canceled.” Naturally, that was all the motivation they needed. What emerged is less a drinking song and more a declaration of independence, dressed up in steel strings and dry wit.
Produced by Lindsay Waddington at LWM House Studios, “Canadian Whiskey” is a controlled explosion of personality. Waddington manages to turn Wattmore’s chaotic creative chemistry into a radio-ready single without diluting its rough edges. The track that sounds like outlaw country got jumped by folk and bluegrass behind a bar, leaving everyone bruised but grinning.
The guitars don’t just sing they snarl. The vocals drip with irony, playfulness, and just enough bite to make you wonder whether you should be laughing or thinking. And that’s exactly the point. Beneath the smirk lies a clever satire on nationalism and cultural pride, turning the genre’s clichés into something deeply modern. The song isn’t anti-anything it’s pro-everyone else. Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, France, Australia if you’re not on a throne, Wattmore raise a glass to you.
Already spinning hot on Australian Country Radio and tested live on the EKKA Showdown stage, “Canadian Whiskey” cements Wattmore as one of the most daring acts in contemporary country. Their sound feels alive, unpredictable, and human every lyric a wink, every riff a dare. So pour a glass, lower your standards, and hit play. “Canadian Whiskey” is brash, brilliant, and completely Wattmore neat, no chaser.
