History
White Lung was formed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 2006. They first attained recognition as one of the standout acts involved with the Vancouver Emergency Room scene. Exclaim! named the band's first full-length album It's the Evil as 2010's punk album of the year. Anne-Marie Vassiliou is an ex-member of the band The Riff Randells.
The band was nominated for Punk/Hardcore Artist/Group of the Year at the 2011 Canadian Music Week Indie Awards. Their second album, Sorry, was released 29 May 2012 to critical acclaim from Spin, Pitchfork, Magnet, Exclaim! and Rolling Stone.
White Lung released their third studio album, Deep Fantasy, on 16 June 2014 through Domino Recording Company. It resulted in increased exposure and the band began to play larger venues. In 2015, the band announced that Lindsey Troy of Deap Vally had joined as a touring bass-player.
The band's fourth album, Paradise, was released on 6 May 2016. In contrast to previous records, the album had "more story-centric songs while Barber-Way find that live the older songs "have taken on a new meaning when I'm onstage. I conjure up a new kind of anger".
The band announced in September 2022 they will be breaking up following the release of their fifth and final album, Premonition, in December 2022.
