Yester Daze – Nothing, Perfectly: Yester Daze, hailing from Montreal, is a force to be reckoned with in the rock scene, delivering a potent mix of stadium rock energy and underground punk grit. Known for their electrifying live performances, whether in intimate venues or on makeshift stages, the band pours their hearts out with raw passion and authentic lyrics.
Their much-anticipated sophomore EP, “Nothing, Perfectly,” is set to conquer 2024 after two years in the making. From COVID-inspired jams to voice memo sketches, the band’s creative process is a collaborative journey, blending individual concepts into cohesive sonic narratives.
“Nothing, Perfectly” is a sonic rollercoaster, traversing grunge heaviness, alternative rock vibes, and pop-punk anthems. Each track showcases the band’s dynamic energy and musical prowess, drawing comparisons to the likes of Foo Fighters, Green Day, Billy Talent, and Sum 41.

Produced by Matt Nozetz of Avbury Studios and mixed by Dave Traina of The Damn Truth, “Nothing, Perfectly” epitomizes Yester Daze’s commitment to their craft and their evolution as artists. With each track, they bridge the gap between raucous guitars and catchy melodies, cementing their place in the rock landscape.
For frontman Brandon McShad, the EP is deeply personal, touching upon his own battles with mental health and self-doubt. Yet, amidst the darkness, there’s a glimmer of hope—a testament to resilience and the power of music to heal.
