Wattmore Light the Fuse with “Canadian Whiskey” – A Sharp-Tongued Toast to the World

There’s always that one song a band’s warned not to release; the one that’s “too much,” “too risky,” or “not radio-friendly.” For Wattmore, that song is “Canadian Whiskey.” Naturally, they released it anyway. Released on September 26th, 2025, the track walks the line between satire and sincerity, turning the classic country drinking anthem into something far more subversive and a whole lot more fun.

“Canadian Whiskey” starts with a wink but ends up saying something bigger. It trades the usual red, white, and blue bravado for a global toast to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, France, and Australia. It’s a rowdy roll call of nations united by good liquor and better humour. It isn’t anti-anyone, but it is unapologetically pro-everyone else. Co-written with country legend and lyrical provocateur Allan Caswell, and produced by Lindsay Waddington, the track captures everything that makes Wattmore tick: sharp writing, reckless charm, and a refusal to colour inside the lines.

Musically, it’s pure Wattmore chaos. The guitars snarl more than they sing, the rhythm section feels half barn dance and half back-alley scuffle, and the production hums with live-wire energy. It sounds like someone bottled a gig and shook it until it fizzed over. The chorus lands like a punchline you can’t help but shout along to, and beneath the humour sits a knowing nod to global camaraderie — the idea that maybe a drink and a laugh can bridge a few divides.

With a growing reputation for bending country until it almost snaps, Wattmore continue to carve out their own unruly corner of the genre. “Canadian Whiskey” is equal parts mischief, message, and musical muscle. It’s the kind of song that gets you smiling before you realize it’s made you think.

So pour a glass, lower your standards, and hit play. Every good rebellion deserves a soundtrack.
