Toronto Duo Channels Raw Emotion and Unconventional Energy in Explosive New Single
Toronto-based alt-rock duo A Weekend at Ramona’s, composed of Chris Munro and Ben Nunes, are making waves with their high-energy new single, “I Never Get It Right.” The track is a raw, unapologetic dive into frustration and determination, channeling the duo’s signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and innovative soundscapes. It’s an anthem for those who stumble but refuse to give up, offering a cathartic release wrapped in electrifying energy.
At the heart of “I Never Get It Right” lies a spirit of fearless experimentation. Co-written by Munro and Nunes, the song rejects traditional pop structures in favor of a freeform approach that feels fresh and immediate. The duo worked with producer Keegan Porter, whose unconventional techniques helped bring their vision to life. One standout decision was running Munro’s vocals through a guitar amp, creating a gritty, distorted texture that perfectly matches the song’s raw intensity.
“The song was inspired by the frustration of everyday missteps and the desire to create a high-energy rock track that resonates powerfully with a live audience,” Munro explains. “Recording the vocals through a guitar amp added this gritty, unconventional texture that really captures the spirit of the track.”
The lyrics reflect a relatable theme of imperfection and persistence, underscored by a dynamic instrumental backdrop. Lines like, “And I got a cigarette to burn, but don’t got a lot of air to breathe,” evoke a sense of urgency and struggle, adding depth to the song’s high-octane rhythm. The result is a track that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant, a hallmark of the band’s approach to songwriting.
The creative partnership between Munro and Nunes began under unlikely circumstances. The two first met as competitors in a 2018 Battle of the Bands but quickly recognized their complementary talents. What started as friendly rivalry soon evolved into a unique collaboration, blending elements of indie rock, alt-rock, and heartfelt storytelling.
Since forming A Weekend at Ramona’s, the duo has consistently pushed the boundaries of their sound. Their commitment to experimentation and authenticity shines through in every release, with “I Never Get It Right” serving as their most ambitious track to date.

With “I Never Get It Right,” the duo continues to evolve their sound while staying true to the emotional core that defines their music.
“This track is about letting go of perfection and just feeling the energy,” Nunes adds. “It’s messy, it’s raw, and that’s exactly how we wanted it to feel.”
The single also highlights the duo’s collaborative synergy with producer Keegan Porter. Known for his innovative production techniques, Porter played a key role in refining the song’s raw energy.
