Ontario’s All the Wasted Years keep the streak alive with Fast Lane, their third single of the year and one of their sharpest to date. Hailing from Timmins, the four-piece blends classic pop-punk urgency with polished songwriting and a live-ready energy that never lets up.
The track is fast, catchy, and built for volume. Big guitars, crisp drums, and a chorus that begs to be shouted back—it’s the kind of song that captures exactly what this band does best. Think MXPX by way of modern Ontario DIY: melodic, sincere, and full of drive.
The band—Nathan Radey, Darcy Larouche, Stephane Gaudet, and Eric Fortin—have been steadily building a following across Canada since 2010, and this release shows they’re not just riding momentum—they’re leveling up. With a full record on the way, Fast Lane feels like a gear-shift moment: leaner, tighter, and ready to go.
For fans of big hooks, honest lyrics, and punk that still believes in the power of a good chorus, All the Wasted Years are delivering—again.
