Calling All Captains Announces New EP “The Things That I've Lost”, Shares New Song “A New Type of Grey”
Canadian punk-rock band Calling All Captains, consisting of Luc Gauthier (vocals), Connor Dawkins (guitar/vocals), Brad Bremner (guitar/vocals) and Tim Wilson (drums), has announced their upcoming EP “The Things That I've Lost” will be released on January 9, 2026 via New Damage Records.
The EP comprises 7 tracks and chronicles themes of burnout, grief, and fractured identity with unflinching honesty.
From the EP, the band released the first single called “A New Type of Grey” on September 18, 2025.
The track was written by Brad Bremner, Connor Dawkins, Luc Gauthier, Quinn Cyrankiewicz, and Tim Wilson. Produced by Quinn Cyrankiewicz and Connor Dawkins.
The accompanying music video was directed by Dylan Hryciuk.
The band frontman Luc Gauthier said of the song, “Our new song ‘A New Type Of Grey’ touches on the in-between feelings of looking at the world in a black and white way. Succumbing to your insecurities and focusing on your weaknesses can lead to black and white thinking. As to say if something isn’t 100% good, then it’s 100% bad. However, that is not the reality. Our own hopes and dreams can fester into wonderful things if we can find a new type of hope in the black and white.”- He continued, “The music video for “A New Type of Grey” is one that is very personal to me, being indigenous. Before doing music full-time I was working within the social services field directly with Indigenous youth as a cultural support worker. I’m thankful to have had that position as it allowed me to support their identity and provide opportunities for any cultural activities for extra curricular outings. [Kinship care is being placed with a family members but still being a part of the foster care system (which is why the foster care worker drops her off still)] Massive thank you to all the actors and crew who worked 3 full days and nights to make this happen.”

The new EP is their first project in two years since the 2024 EP “(e)motion sickness”.
Luc Gauthier said of the EP, “This is the most personal release we’ve ever put out. These songs came from a place of reflecting on everything we’ve been through, personally and as a band. It’s raw, but it’s real. And I think people will feel that.”
