The Darcys

The Darcys is the ever-evolving musical project formed by Toronto’s Jason Couse and Wes Marskell. For The Darcys, each album is a distinct era designed to explore the duo’s creative headspace through vibrant imagery and playful lyrics. With “Running For The Hills,” The Darcys offer a glimpse into their next chapter, a forthcoming EP due in 2022. The song is powerful and triumphant with its sidewinding guitar riff, explosive chorus, and hopeful lyrics about looking forward, not back. “I’m well aware that the bright lights of LA can often be a mirage, but I needed to live it for myself,” says Marskell, of the pop-minded alt-rock track that was influenced by the duo’s move from Toronto to Los Angeles. Over the past 10 years, The Darcys have released five diverse and critically acclaimed albums, earning them more than 22 million streams, nominations for a JUNO Award (Alternative Album of The Year), the Polaris Prize, and an MMVA, as well as praise from outlets such as Billboard, SPIN, NPR, American Songwriter, and Esquire. The duo recently launched “The Glory Days” podcast, an NFT, and a grant program for emerging Canadian artists.
