Whatever Happened To...#24: Scarlet Canary

 Scarlet Canary was a Denver-based rock quartet. I was fortunate enough to see this band play a few times in the Upper Midwest and became friends with the band members. The group ended a few years ago, but they were definitely fun while they lasted. 

The band formed in 2011. Its most recent lineup consisted of husband and wife Allen and Hannah Maddox on guitar and lead vocals, drummer Marcus McGowan and Marcos Gonzales on bass. They released four EPs (Distorted Reality in 2012, To the Heart in 2014, Arise in 2015 and Perspective in 2017) and weren't afraid to drive hundreds of miles for a show. I was impressed when they traveled 12 hours from CO to MN for a sword metal festival. Even though it wasn't exactly their genre, they put on a great set and thoroughly entertained the attendees.

Scarlet Canary called it quits in 2018 as the members pursued other ventures. Hannah and Allen are now fronting a new group named Heartsick Heroine. They are leaving the Denver area but promise to keep their current group afloat. I wish all of the band members well and look forward to welcoming the couple to my home state. 

Well, that's all I have for now. Next time, I'll write about Drain STH, a great European group that I never got to see live. Until then, have a great holiday weekend, everyone!
