Cannons on Their Songs “Fire for You,” “Bad Dream,” & more | Sony Spotlight

We talked to Sony Music artists Cannons about becoming a band, what it’s like to have a song go viral overnight, and how their new single “Bad Dreams” was inspired by the pandemic.

[@shahbazsheikh3545]

7 years in the grind... before any recognition... Respect to these artists.

[@mrgregw]

It helps if you have massive talent. Most people never find success with their dream in music. It's like pro athletes.

[@Steve-bo6ht]

Paul Davis has incredible production talent really wish he could have said a few more words in the interview

[@jianfalco2133]

Exactly! 💯 It's inspiring and awesome how he mixes and produces their tracks. Makes me wanna learn music production and I can't even play a single instrument😂

[@the5pointsconglomoratemedi541]

Wow! I did not picture Michelle having that voice based on her singing voice, both voices are cool and distinct. These guys are so cool and amazing!

[@kings17court]

Major props to Paul Davis for immaculate production .... always.

[@azurite4296]

Huge fan of Cannons! Bad Dream is my favorite song of all time.

[@fabrizi7362]

It made me cry

[@NevrrPresntt]

Bad Dream, Talk Talk, Fire for You, Ruthless, Stuck on You, Bright Lights, Holding On, just a few that i love

[@Sharsung]

Wait until you hear Hurricane! Love 💕 Cannons

[@mitchaser5159]

@@NevrrPresntt I like evening star the most

[@michaelmuller5762]

For me too. If I had only one band to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be cannons.

[@thejose24]

My favorite band, I can’t get enough of Cannons!

[@tireachan6178]

Unbelievable Band! These folks are overflowing with talent and yet are so likeable and humble. I'm Irish and I'm making it my business to play Cannons every time anyone gets in my car to spread awareness so someday we might get a Dublin Show!

[@333lavender]

Incredible band! I do the same!

[@theresahardy9754]

A show u will definitely love!! I just met them in Atlanta and they Crushed it!!

[@franciss.fernandez7581]

This band is simply amazing and I'm very glad I found them.

[@michaelnelson8336]

Cannons will remain on my playlist forever . So glad I found y’all . Can’t wait to see you perform live !

[@nolanwertheimer8049]

Saw cannons live yesterday at majestic in Detroit, it was insane. Machelles stage presence is beyond this world and she sounds even better in person

[@NeorecnamorceN]

So glad I came across y'all's music. When I'm not cycling through your playlist, I'm just listening to one song on repeat. Your cover of Golden has been my latest obsession haha. Can't wait to see what y'all do next. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Boostd4]

I found the Golden cover just recently...if I didn't know it was Harry Styles I'd swear these guys created it.

[@mosesplasencia231]

Love the chemistry... That's how it works without limit . Don't let fame n money tear Yu guys apart from within . Your music is awesome . Each with it's unique personality . Love Etttt. Dew. Etttt dew ett! Lol Stay above never let your feet forget the ground .

[@MrPink-wc5op]

Been playing Cannons songs on repeat. They are amazing!

[@thombarett1205]

Keep doing exactly what you're doing. Your sound is perfect. That isley cover was awesome

[@sujeylopez7]

I love you guys! I listen to your tracks daily! No exaggeration. I can't wait to see you live and always look forward to your next track. Recommended to all my friends and they love you too! Keep making magic and thank you for making every day more beautiful with your music 🎵🎵💜💜💜💜

[@DJ_CURIOUS]

I love your music and have been introducing your music to all my friends. Looking forward to seeing you perform live. Can’t wait to hear more, keep it up 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@moeafram2520]

In a world of so many manufactured artists, I love these kind of stories...so much respect for those grinding out in the belief of their dreams - the reward is so much sweeter when you put in the work... Heard them for the first time as ambiance music at a sushi restaurant of all places and soon had their entire discography - such a great retro vibe.

[@toji6856]

Literally love your music.....can't wait to get tickets to see you guys live!! Hurricane is pure gold.

[@MCR1565]

I’m a fan! You guys rock! Thanks for taking the time to share! Hoping to see you guys soon!🙏💖🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Boostd4]

I'm really excited to see more work from Cannons...such an awesome group.

[@MirceaLazar]

Love the sound! Need more of you guys!

[@ltfletchhh]

My favorite band, I really like you guys! Great guitar, great bass, great singing, everything is perfection!! ✌👍❤

[@oliverfader]

So stoked to see these guys making it! Loved when The Chromatics were doing all the same visuals/Lynch homage over a decade ago - fun to revisit with a fresh soundtrack!

[@Chaz2yacom]

these kids rock I love the soundscapes and her voice. Badass Production.

[@toddjones3046]

The vibe of the cannons is mystical!! If you are not on the board, you can’t ride this wave! Cheers Todd

[@nicolekawano]

Love their songs!!!!

[@lorindamulder3836]

Big respect for you guys keep playing and singing you guys are good ❤❤

[@Christianjofresilva]

Tienen influencias de todos los grupos que me gustan , cocteau twins, garbage, Daft punk, royksopp, me devolvieron la fe en la música, creí que nunca escucharía algo tan bueno como en esos tiempos, son excelentes

[@SmR8008]

I can relate to getting faith back in music. I discovered Cannons by accident and cant stop playing them.

[@VaduzVaduz]

Escucha Onuka de Ucrania, ahí vas estar en otra dimensión Musical.

[@tastyfrzz1]

I love baby, golden, goodbye, and bad dream the most but they're all good.

[@julielewis2574]

Soooo happy I found this band!! I’m in love with them. Seeing them in concert in March. I can’t wait!

[@IMV81]

Happy for all of you, just discovered you this morning 01.21.23. Now tied as my favorite TOP 3 next to: Arcade Fire, DaftPunk and now Cannons. Stay humble. You guys rock!

[@cynarm7717]

Cannons love you so much I've waiting for another super hit!. Love your music style! ✨

[@gregm8080]

It's been almost a year now since I discovered Cannons and I've barely listened to anything else. They're the perfect blend of nostalgia, synthpop, and just the coolest funky grooves. They've distilled the essence of several genres and times into a perfect blend and created a catalog of music that has satisfied me for longer than any other band I've heard. IMO, Cannons is crushing it.

[@ashlieday6943]

This has become my favorite song. Honestly you guys probably make up my top 3 with fire for you, sof. Keep killing it, I'm obsessed.

[@dguizart83]

I Love you Cannons

[@danielruiz919]

Your music is awesome , please keep making those amazing songs

[@AlGuien82]
