Vultures At Dawn Debut with “Outlaws” – A Desert Rock Anthem for the Marginalized and Defiant

Canada’s Vultures At Dawn Unveil Debut Single “Outlaws” – A Grit-Laced Ballad for the Modern-Day Vagabond

Emerging from the sun-scorched horizon of Canada’s underground music scene, Vultures At Dawn introduces themselves with a ferocious debut single titled “Outlaws” (Texas Chainsaw Marigold). The track serves as a raw, soul-baring statement from a band that blends desert rock swagger with a deep sense of identity, resistance, and survival.

Fronted by Buck Summers, a compelling vocalist with a voice soaked in dust and defiance, the band crafts a sound that feels both timeless and rebellious. “Outlaws” was born from a harrowing personal experience — a real-life horseback escape from police. Summers wrote the lyrics on the very night they returned, channeling the adrenaline and chaos of that brush with danger into a track that pulses with urgency and passion.

This single, the second song ever written by the group but the first to be released, offers listeners a glimpse into their mythic world: a place where fugitives ride under blood-red skies and survival is its own kind of victory. The band has a growing arsenal of live material — at least five other songs performed in their theatrical shows — with more in development.

Recorded in the eerie stillness of a historic church after hours, the song carries with it the weight of sacred rebellion. Raven Steel’s gritty guitar riffs, Sebastian Black’s seismic basslines, and the ominous echoes of Dallas McCoy’s oboe build a haunting atmosphere, all grounded by the tribal intensity of Doc’s drumming. Together, they create a sonic landscape that feels both ancient and defiantly modern.

Vultures At Dawn is quickly carving out a reputation for immersive, high-energy live performances, which blend music with storytelling, soundscapes of life on the run, and ritualistic stage presence. Their audience — affectionately referred to as a ‘volt’ of vultures — continues to grow, drawn in by the band’s witchy mysticism and unapologetic ethos.

With nods to the heavy grandeur of Black Sabbath, the operatic flair of Queen, and the raw desert grit of Kyuss, “Outlaws” sets the tone for a band that plays by their own rules, lives by the beat of their own drum, and tells stories not from the center — but from the edge.

Vultures At Dawn have arrived, and with “Outlaws,” they invite you into a world where music is rebellion, identity is power, and every sunset could be your last.
