Canadian duo Partner released their debut album, In Search Of Lost Time, in 2017, and we named them a Band To Watch and a Best New Band because of it. A couple months ago, they released a one-off, "Lost My Pick, Can I Borrow One," and today they've announced a new EP, Saturday The 14th, alongside another new track, "Long And McQuade."
It's named after a popular chain of Canadian music stores -- think Guitar Center, but Canadian -- and the two of them were so inspired by the classic rock-y boys those stores tend to attract that they wrote a whole song about it. As with most Partner songs, though, they commit to the bit and end up making something pretty great.
"We wanted to make a song for the musicians, and what experience is more relatable to a Canadian musician than going to Long and McQuade?" the band said in a statement. "The song just came out one day while we were talking about Long and McQuade and we liked singing it like Pearl Jam, so it stuck."
