Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ The Manic Boys And Girls Club Releases New Song “We'll Be Fine”
Toronto-based indie rock duo The Manic Boys And Girls Club, consisting of siblings Bela and Fernando Ferreira, released a new song “We'll Be Fine” along with a music video on March 29, 2023.
The song is the second single off of their upcoming self-titled debut EP, which is set to be released on July 13, 2023.
It was written by Bela Ferreira and Fernando Ferreira. Produced by Gavin Brown.
The accompanying video was directed by Ernie Vasquez, starring Louie Tucci, filmed in Los Angeles.
Fernando Ferreira said of the song, “I don't think either of us is really able to give life advice to anyone... but the idea is to have hope in the future. It's like, ‘Yeah, we’ve made mistakes,’ but all we can do is live in the present, look forward, and not have our future affected by whatever regret, or past, is weighing us down.”- He continued, “There are songs that come together super-fast and you know exactly what you hear in your head; this was not the case for 'We'll Be Fine.' I think, because it has always been a pretty important song to us, since the first demos or voice memo versions of its existence. So... we explored and spent many hours messing around with guitar tones and ambient soundscapes, we rearranged and made rewrite after rewrite a lot before mixing. Bela wanted to go back into the studio and re-do some vocals. Gavin Brown (who was producing and mixing) was very much against the idea. So, we did the obvious appropriate thing: We waited till he was away for a weekend, booked the studio and engineer, and, on our own, did it anyway!”

He said of the video, “I really believe that even when nothing around us makes sense, and as much of a mess as life may seem at times, for whatever reason, we are exactly where we are meant to be. We wanted this video to illustrate the freedom of letting go of these things that haunt us as we grow.”
The new EP comprises 5-track. The duo said of the EP, “Every song starts with a lyric and a melody. No matter how it is produced, every one of our songs can be a lullaby.”
They added, “The Manic Boys and Girls Club is more than a band. It is an escape from the submissive existence that was reality, an escape from the disposable music packaged for the masses, and an escape for any misfit looking to join the club.”
