Inspired by the nostalgia of playing a concert, “King of the Bar” was born during the pandemic, reminiscing over the euphoria of putting on a live show. In particular, it pays homage to the legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, one of their favourite venues. “But this horseshoe’s luck just might have set me free from it all…” Pacific Estate explains. “This lyric describes what being in a band is all about, and that is the feeling we get when we are on stage together, putting our day jobs aside for night and getting to live our dream as musicians.”

Back in 2013, the idea of Pacific Estate came up by a few high school kids looking to play Rush covers,. Their unique brand of rock and roll features high powered vocals, intricate melodies, and an air tight rhythm section, that translate seamlessly into an energetic and floor-shaking live show. Following years of shows all across Ontario as both a headliner, and in support of larger acts like; I Mother Earth, Hollerado, Pkew Pkew Pkew, and The Temperance Movement, the band has recently settled into Arc Recording Studio to begin recording their debut album with Juno Award winning producer Julius Butty (Alexisonfire, City and Colour, Protest the Hero). Pacific Estate’s debut single “She” is set to hit stores and streaming services March 18, 2020.

The track is pretty amazing. The song structure, varied music elements, and band harmony…. everything is just great indeed! I like the rhythm line so much, which provides upbeat riffs combined with melodic alternative vocals. ‘Saturday’ combines stunning, emotive vocals with all the best of pop /alternative rock. In my opinion, Pacific Estate is the best pop-rock band that I have heard in 2020 releases so far! And I am looking for their upcoming songs for sure. Check out ‘Saturdays’ through here, and let me know what do you think.
