Toronto power-pop punk trio Talk Show Host is delivering another single off the upcoming debut full-length ‘Mid-Century Modern,’ out June 4th.

The song “Crisis Actors” is now streaming on all DSPs. Check it out HERE.

Lead singer & guitar player Chris Veinot says, “Crisis Actors” was written a couple of years ago and I distinctly remember worrying that the lyrics might seem dated by the time we released it, especially after we had to delay the record due to COVID. Fortunately (?) I didn’t have to worry at all! Hooray? Yes, it’s about stupid internet bullshit, but at its core it’s about trying (and pretty much always failing) to empathise with someone who doesn’t seem open too empathy.

The video was another lockdown concoction and evolved as a kind of visual history of how my relationship with the electronic world has evolved since the early 90s. But mostly it was an excuse to play ZZT again. Everyone remembers ZZT, right??
