The Bankes Brothers Channel Raw Emotion on Catchy New Single “Get To Know”
Victoria-based rock outfit The Bankes Brothers return with “Get To Know,” a rhythmic and high-energy single that captures the emotional push-and-pull of trying to connect with someone whose guard is still up. With sharp hooks, a raw and melodic core, and the band’s signature dynamic style, it’s another bold step forward for the rising Canadian quartet.
“This song came from that feeling when you’re really trying to break through to someone who’s not letting you in,” shares frontman Nelson Bankes. “It’s about the tension between wanting to hold on and knowing you might have to let go. We tried to keep it raw and honest.”
Energetic and unfiltered, “Get To Know” leans into the emotional complexities of connection while delivering the kind of anthemic rock sound that’s made The Bankes Brothers one of Canada’s most talked-about live bands.
Since the release of their debut EP In Waves, produced by Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat, The Zolas), The Bankes Brothers have toured across Canada with Jesse Roper, lit up stages at Edmonton Folk Fest, Laketown Shakedown, Phillips Backyard Weekender, and more.
With a new Gus van Go-produced EP on the horizon, The Bankes Brothers are moving into their next era with confidence. Singles like “Bedroom Wall,” “Waited All Night,” and now “Get To Know” showcase the band’s evolution – channeling everything from classic rock swagger to indie-pop charm.
