UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Northwest Passage (Official Video)

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS on “Northwest Passage”: “This song means a lot to us as a band, we like to put it on during those long drives on tour and it always brings us right back home. We originally recorded it to be a bonus track for our last full length album Apex, but we loved the track so much we knew it needed special treatment. We held on to it for a bit and eventually decided to release it as its own 7" vinyl EP with another Canadian cover song as the B side. The song “Northwest Passage” is all about touring through Canada, which Stan Rogers did a lot, and how it equates to being an explorer looking for the passage all those years ago. It really hits home with us, we&toured through Canada too many times to count, so we know just how Stan was feeling. That&where the name of the EP came from too; every time we hit the road on tour it&like we too become Explorers, with the great big unknown stretching out before us.”
