New Single ‘RAVEN LAKE’ Out May 13
We’re super stoked to announce our new single ‘Raven Lake’ will be available to stream/download May 13th! We’ve written and released a lot of songs over the years, but there’s something about ‘Raven Lake’ that is really special to us. We think it’s one of the best songs we’ve ever written and to say we’re excited for folks to hear it would be an understatement! Drums for the song were recorded at RHC Music in Toronto by Ross Citrullo, the rest was recorded and produced by us, and the song mixed by the legendary Gavin Brown (Billy Talent, Thee Days Grace, Mother Mother, The Trews). ‘Raven Lake’ is a contemplative but still high energy tune that features a driving drum beat from Adam Cannon, pulsing bass from Dave Marini, a killer solo by Jon Daly, and an emotional vocal from Nick Cino. Nick had this to say about the song:
“‘Raven Lake’ was written at the real Raven Lake near Dorset in northern Ontario. I had rented a cottage that was the end of a long drive through a dense forest, but led to an oasis on the lake. It’s about how we all desire to escape somewhere that is remote and quiet, away from the all the noise and pressures of everyday life. We go to these places not only for rest and relaxation, but also for reflection and, if we can find it, redemption.”
PRE-SAVE ‘RAVEN LAKE’ HERE and it will be ready and rocking for you on May 13th!
Take a look at the ‘Raven Lake’ artwork below, designed by our own Jon Daly. We also shot a video for the song that we’re really excited for everyone to see, news on that soon!

New Single ‘MANIACS’ Out Now!
We’re so stoked to say that our new single MANIACS is out now on all streaming services across the universe! To say this song is a long time in the making is an understatement – it was written well before the pandemic and we started recording it right before shit hit the fan. We were eventually able to get in the studio between lockdowns to finish the song. The track started with a chorus idea written by Dave before the rest of us dove in and helped flesh out the song. Lyrically, it’s about being so in love it drives you crazy. Musically, it’s got a little bit of a stomp to it before we unleash the riffage.
The song was mixed by the most excellent GAVIN BROWN (Billy Talent, Three Days Grace, Mother Mother, The Trews). Gavin has produced so many great songs that we love, to have his special touch on ‘Maniacs’ was a real honour.
We’re super proud of this track and hope everyone digs it, more new tunes to come! Check out the video below and stream the song now on your favourite streaming service.
New Single ‘MANIACS’ Streaming Everywhere October 1st!
Fool’s Union are excited to announce their brand new single ‘Maniacs’ will be streaming everywhere October 1st. Their first new material since 2020’s ‘I’m Givin’, the new single was mixed by legendary producer Gavin Brown (Billy Talent, Three Days Grace, Mother Mother, The Trews). ‘Maniacs’ is about being so in love that it drives you crazy. It brings together an almost country-esque stomp that leads into a blazing riff-tastic jam that will make it extremely hard to stop head banging. If you injure yourself in the process of rocking too hard, please seek immediate medical attention.
