Hamilton, ON-based band, Delta Days have unveiled their new single, “Never End”. It’s the third single in the last year from the group who continue to push their sound into new melodic territories.
The track features a pulsating rhythm that explodes with fits and starts that help accentuate the manic feeling of constantly failing relationships. It’s a look at the darker period of a person struggling to find some solace.
Songwriter Ethan Paxton explains,
“It’s about dealing with all the bullshit that comes up in life, friends lying, friends dying and a sense of always searching for this well-being you can’t find.”
The track was co-produced by Wayne Petti, Michael Keire, and Delta Days at Threshold Studios.

Care to introduce yourself to our readers?
Delta Days is a project created by me, Ethan Paxton. I formed Delta Days in 2017 with some friends from high school. We all loved the same music so we used to jam in a leaky basement in the west end of the city. Pretty soon we started playing shows around Hamilton. By 2018, we’d released our first record, A Round Town, and started gigging all over Ontario sharing the stage with acts such as Cuff The Duke, Lee Harvey Osmond, and Basement Revolver.
Tell us a bit about your music and writing style.
My writing style is definitely more singer-songwriter based with nods to past writers like Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, etc. I never really want to pigeonhole my music style, I feel like I just write rock music. I’ve been told our first record was Americana and our new music has been labeled Alternative Rock. I’m inspired by a lot of sounds and whatever comes out is just what it is.
How have you been keeping creative during the Pandemic?
I’m always writing and playing music. The pandemic has just increased my ability to do that. It also helps that my roommate is Cohen from The Crowleys and we can just jam and record music whenever we feel like it.
If you were asked to suggest only one of your songs for someone to hear, which would it be?
As of right now, it’s between “Jonny” “Product of America” and the newest single “Never End”. Each song shows the band’s ability to adapt to different styles while highlighting the vocals and the story the lyrics tell.
