A rock band years in the making, The Wandering Off, comprised of Emily and Kyle Corner have a long history behind the scenes and backstage in the music industry. In 2023 they stepped on to the stage and into the spotlight with the release of their debut, full length, self-titled album. 

T.W.O as they fittingly abbreviate, are a duo set to ignite a revival of raw, gritty quirky alternative rock. 90’s kids pulling from their earliest influences, Hole, Letters to Cleo, Third Eye Blind to capture a spectrum of rock sounds. An experiment that took shape in a home-built studio during the pandemic the duo crafted and produced the album recruiting sound wizard, Warne Livesey and drummer Blake Manning to finish at famed Noble Street Studios. Their debut single "Hey There," reminiscent of Sheryl Crow, carries a powerful message about not taking life too seriously, earning recognition as a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting competition (Rock Category) and being picked up on radio stations internationally. 

The duo, now husband and wife, have been wandering behind the scenes since 2005, but most memorable was their 2010 engagement working for Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair revival. No strangers to concert production, Emily and Kyle have been behind the scenes on some of the biggest Canadian music festivals in the past two decades, serving the show and artists. Their life in music has spanned across working for Universal Music, as booking agents, and assembling massive festivals supporting artists, and now putting themselves and their art in front.

In an era of singles and EP’s, The Wandering Off took the bold step and “old school” approach to debut with a 12-track full length album. Fans of an era when you listened to an album front to back; releasing a body of work was important to the group. Gritty, cheeky, raw songs singing about lived experiences, deep and confessional on mental health, judgement, with uncensored lyrics. Perhaps the second single and 5th song on the album “F Off” demonstrates the duo’s cavalier attitude and fearlessness in expression, showcasing their sense of humour too. “F Off” is a cheeky anthem, bright and bold offering listeners permission to sing their feelings when that person, place or thing pushes that brash expression to the surface. 

For The Wandering Off, there are no apologies for sharp lyrics, the honesty is intended to cut through and connect. Emily’s melody’s deliver poignant, authentic words with sincerity. Musically, T.W.O’s debut album is for listeners ready to pack for a ride, with swings and sways of gritty, jangly and thumping guitar driven songs anyone tuning in will crisscross sonically through the emotional spectrum 

They are just a couple of kids who came of age through the Y2K era, forever drawn to the nostalgia of late last century alternative rock, still resistant to “growing up”.  Each with a quarter note tattooed behind their ears, music has been a constant thread for the two, who have wandered from behind the scenes to the stage. Having the time of their lives, The Wandering Off are discovering unending delight in the art of crafting music and making some serious noise.
