Wattmore, the Australian duo made up of brothers Aiden and Kai just released their latest single Canadian Whiskey, a perfect snapshot of who they are. On the surface, this single is a classic country drinking song, but the song is far from ordinary. Co-written with Allan Caswell, a veteran songwriter and known mischief-maker, it’s loaded with dry humor, rebellious spirit, and a wink that says, “We know exactly what we’re doing here.” The song embodies everything Wattmore is about: unpolished honesty, smart sarcasm, and a raw energy that’s impossible to fake.
Wattmore is a breath of Fresh air and they communicate almost entirely through guitar solos, sarcasm, and eye rolls so sharp they could cut glass. To fully appreciate “Canadian Whiskey” you need to understand the brothers behind it. The Duo have built their reputation on creating music that carries life. Their ability to write songs that feel alive — imperfect, fierce, and unfiltered.
If you’ve listened to their previous singles like “Romantic Side” and “I Don’t Miss That Woman,” which climbed the Australian Country Radio charts, it would be no news that Wattmore stands out and have shown that they have a unique voice.
“Canadian Whiskey” kicks off with the sound of guitars that immediately set a familiar country vibe, but don’t get comfortable — Wattmore quickly spices things up. The guitar work from the brothers is aggressive yet precise, sounding as if the instruments were not just played but hammered into submission before being woven into the song’s fabric. This isn’t a gentle strum; it’s a full-on assault and it’s exhilarating.
Lindsay Waddington’s production deserves serious praise here. Waddington expertly shaped Wattmore’s energy into a tight, radio-ready package. The session musicians add polish without diluting the track’s edge, supporting the brothers’ jagged guitars and vocal interplay with steady, driving rhythms that keep the song moving like a well-oiled machine ready to burst at any moment.
The story of Rebellion, self-deception, and the myths we tell ourselves about drinking and toughness are interwoven into the Lyric. There’s a perfect blend of fun, attitude and a bit of Chaos. It sounds like two brothers just being themselves, flaws and all. The duo leans into their origniality, uniqueness and their musical quirks make listening to “Canadian Whiskey” an experience that’s as refreshing as it is entertaining.
Beyond the music itself, Wattmore’s story is part of the appeal. They’re not industry robots — they’re guys who argue over guitar tone, mock themselves, and write songs that sound like inside jokes with the world. Their journey from local Australian stages to national radio shows like EKKA Showdown shows their grit and growing influence in the country scene. And with “Canadian Whiskey,” it’s clear they’re just getting started.
Canadian Whiskey is not just a song, it’s a Force. They were told not to release it, warned it might “get them cancelled,” and they did it anyway. That’s the spirit of true artistry: taking risks, breaking rules, and making music that matters to you first. The song captures that outlaw energy perfectly; raw, loud, and unapologetic.
If you’re searching for Music that carries a personality, you’re just where you are meant to be. This isn’t just another country drinking song; it’s a fresh, rebellious breath of air in a genre that often plays it safe. It’s the sound of two brothers who refuse to conform, who turn awkwardness into art, and who make music that’s as smart as it is fun.
Pour yourself a glass, hit play, and let Wattmore remind you why music should sometimes be surprising, and unapologetically honest. With “Canadian Whiskey,” they’ve made a track that’s not just worth listening to — it’s worth raising a glass to.
