I first came across Quadra Sound through a clip of the band covering one of my favourite Alice in Chains songs—and honestly, it sounded so good that I wanted to dig deeper.

Quadra Sound are a four-piece rock band from Vancouver Island, but they are building more than just a collection of songs. Through social media, playful videos, and their own podcast, they are creating a whole world around the band and finding direct ways to connect with listeners.

In this episode, I speak with Nick Fascione about the role social media plays for an independent band, the unexpected video that reached more than a million views, and why sharing more of himself online has encouraged him to be vulnerable.

We also get into the band’s years of development, working with producer and songwriter Brian Howes, and the freedom that comes with starting again and reshaping your identity.

The conversation eventually brings us back to Campbell River and a deeply personal song about growing up in a small town, wanting to experience more of the world, and remembering where you came from.

Listen to the full episode to hear how Quadra Sound are balancing creativity, personality, ambition, and the work of building a band today.

Inlet Wire—your direct line to BC artists.

Vancouver band daysormay joins Inlet Wire for a conversation about sound, trust, and learning what to strip away.

Aidan Andrews, Carson Bassett, and Nolan Bassett have been making music together since they were kids, but this episode is less about how the band started and more about what changes after years of writing, producing, and playing together.

They talk about becoming more intentional as adults, moving from production-heavy ideas back toward the core of guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, and how Ableton, live arrangements, and aluminum instruments have shaped the heavier direction of their sound.

We also get into creative disagreement, why they try ideas musically instead of arguing them out, and the memory behind songs like “Ego” and “UV.”

In this episode of Inlet Wire, Eric Chan speaks with Sarah and Bobby from Focus Your Audio, a Vancouver duo making thoughtful, emotional songs about connection.

They talk about starting as an acoustic duo, growing into a fuller band sound, and finding a writing process that gives each person space before bringing the song together.

The conversation also goes into the story behind “The Long Goodbye,” a song inspired by Sarah’s experience as a nurse and a family living through dementia.

Sarah and Bobby also reflect on working in the studio with Mike Young of Mother Mother and producer-songwriter Adam Hurstfield, and how those collaborations helped them think more deeply about texture, vulnerability, and emotion in recording.
