The Dirty Nil are back with a new single, Bye Bye Big Bear.
The stadium-worthy rock track was inspired by a convenience store the Toronto power trio could see from the window of a house they lived in together in downtown Hamilton. They commented:
"For five years we lived together at a house in downtown Hamilton. For five years we were sustained by the Big Bear convenience store, located directly across the street. There we were nurtured with sparkling water, protein bars and cigarettes. There we witnessed an untold number of human dramas play out in the parking lot, ranging from the hilarious to the hopelessly sad. For five years it was our clubhouse, our pirate ship, our prison. So we say farewell, thank you for everything: Bye Bye Big Bear."
Singer and guitarist Luke Bentham added: "We were there through our 20s and having the best time. When we turned 30, though, it felt like time to spring from the nest, so we all put our separate plans into motion, and then I immediately started to miss everybody."
