Vickers Way//

Vickers Way is the fruits of labour of 6 Chinese-Canadians that have come together to create their own unique sounds. The six members all have vastly different careers outside of music and drastically different musical tastes, but together they create endearing catchy tunes enjoyed by a wide range of audiences. They are currently based in Richmond, British Columbia and their band name is derived from the location of their studio, a place that all six deem as their common music “starting point”. 


In 2012, founding members Eric (lead singer), Chris (former guitarist) and Roy (formerly guitar, now bassist) were part of a project band (Plato’s Cave). As they wrote more original material together, they recruited Tim (Roy’s former bandmate in Embryos) as their permanent drummer in 2016. Throughout the next couple years, the band collaborated with many different musicians however with numerous competing commitments the line up continued to change until 2019. The addition of Jimmy (guitar) marked the official beginning of Vickers Way.  2020 and 2021 was a turbulent time due to covid, but there were also some exciting new creative additions to the Vickers Way crew.   Chris has since gone on to focus on studies to become a doctor, while Riv (guitarist) and Beetle (guitarist / keys) have since joined to create more catchy tunes.  They are set to debut their first EP in 2022. Vickers Way is a hardworking, sincere group that are actively seeking opportunities to share their original sounds with audiences beyond the four walls of their studio.

Chris Clute//

Clute’s previously released track “Body” found himself questioning the feelings of unknowns and what it’s, which had been brought by a previous relationship. After going through the motions, Clute takes us on a midnight ride through the city. The forthcoming track, “Midnight Drive” came to fruition shortly after Clute and close friend/producer Sal Verma of Sound of Kalima heard The Weeknd’s tracks “Heartless” and “Blinding Lights.” In homage to the two inspired tracks they threw in some synthwave and 80’s/Stranger Things vibes. The creative process allowed Clute to take a new sound and tailor it to his unique voice and personality. It also opened the door to bringing in another vocalist on the track, Saya Helton, who he met at UBC University.

“Midnight Drive is a desperate drunken love song about someone trying so hard to salvage a relationship that is falling apart. They are so anguished by not being with this person that they would drive miles in an inebriated state just to see them.” He explains that, “The two verses and first chorus take us on a downward spiral going head first until we reach the bridge lyric “I just wanna feel good” which is the inevitable rock bottom for our main character. This person has come to terms with how much they need the validation that their lover provides. The character in this song is experiencing a momentary lapse in judgement with no regard for the consequences which is something we’ve all experienced at one point or another.“
