  • Rock Duo Meneely Brant Serve Up Groovy New Single, “Coming Days”

Four months after the release of their debut EP of the same name, Albertan musicians Al Brant and Dennis Meneely, have released their latest single, “Coming Days,” under the moniker Meneely Brant.

Watch the YouTube video of “Coming Days” here:

The four-minute, 20 second-spanning rock tune is driven by Dennis’s fantastic and inventive piano playing as well as an infectious vocal track by Al — which is complimented and layered beautifully with the harmonies of an uncredited, and powerful, female voice. On top of these key sonic elements, there’s an incredibly emotional and melodic guitar solo right at the end, which makes for a fitting grand finale.

Since the 1990s, Al and Dennis have been esteemed and highly-respected players on the local music scene. Before becoming inspired to start the Meneely Brant project, the duo serves as members of Tacoy Ryde — a Canadian roots rock band.

Though the band didn’t make it into the 2020s, the two have stayed in close touch since and a few years back took to the liking of being in each other’s musical orbit once again. Shortly after, Meneely Brant was established and the recording process ensued.

Coming Days — the EP — dropped last November and features the songs “Just an Illusion,” “This Time for Sure,” “Unexpected,” “End of the Line” and of course, the groovy title track. The record was recorded at Danlyn Studios in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

The collection is composed of songs built on strong melodic and harmonic structures, intelligent and thoughtful lyrics, and tasty and top-drawer vocal and instrumental performances. The two speak highly of each other’s writing styles, saying that there’s an almost “telepathic understanding” of where the other will/wants to go in the middle of the writing process.

“I’ve always gravitated towards rock and roll and that’s evident here,” says Brant of the EP. Complimenting those words, Meneely said: “We’re carrying this torch for fusion rock … but that’s just who we are.”
