Who Wants To Know? Resolution by Dearly Beloved – A Raw Canadian Rock Gem
Alright, so here’s the deal. I’ve been spinning Who Wants To Know? Resolution by Dearly Beloved lately, and lemme tell ya—it’s one of those albums that grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. Hailing from Canada (yep, the land of maple syrup and polite chaos), this rock beast is out via Aporia Records. It’s raw, it’s gritty, and honestly? It feels like a punch in the gut—but in the best way possible.
Now, there are only two tracks on this sucker—“Who Wants To Know?” and “Resolution.” At first glance, you might think, “Wait, just two songs? What am I even doing here?” But trust me, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill tunes. They’re more like sonic experiences. Let me break it down for ya.
First up: “Who Wants To Know?”
This track kicks things off with an unapologetic roar. The guitars hit hard, almost like they’re daring you to keep listening. And the vocals? Oh man, they’ve got this raspy edge that makes you feel every damn word. There’s no sugarcoating here; it’s all raw emotion laid bare. I remember this one because halfway through, there’s this killer riff that just explodes outta nowhere. Like, I had to rewind it three times just to make sure my brain wasn’t playing tricks on me. It’s messy, loud, and kinda chaotic—but isn’t that what real rock should be?
Then there’s “Resolution.”
If “Who Wants To Know?” is the storm, then “Resolution” is the calm after it—or maybe the uneasy silence where you’re still catching your breath. This track slows things down a bit but keeps the intensity alive. The bassline groans and growls beneath layers of distortion, while the vocals take on this haunting quality that sticks with you long after the song ends. Honestly, it gave me chills. Not the cheesy kind either—the kind that makes you sit up straight and think, “Damn, did that really just happen?”
What I love about this album is how stripped-back and honest it feels. No frills, no overproduced nonsense. Just pure, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll energy straight from Canada. You can tell Dearly Beloved poured their guts into this thing. It’s not perfect—and honestly, I don’t think they wanted it to be. That’s what makes it special.
So yeah, if you’re into music that hits harder than life itself, check out Who Wants To Know? Resolution. It’s short, sure, but it packs one hell of a punch. And honestly? After listening to it, I kinda wished I could call up the band and ask them, “Hey, who does want to know?” Because whoever they made this for… they nailed it.
Random thought: If this album were a person, it’d probably have tattoos, smell like cigarettes, and show up late to everything—but somehow, you’d still wanna hang out with it anyway.
