Neon Dreams

“Sick Of Feeling Useless” is the new single from the Halifax duo, Neon Dreams. The video is a creative combination of 2,474 images, forming a stop motion visual that sees lead singer Frank Kadillac and drummer Adrian Morris performing their new release. It is out now via Dreaming Out Loud.

“Before every session, we try to talk about how we’re feeling,” said Frank. “At this point, before the song was made, we were discussing with our good friend and collaborator Nathaniel Motte from the band 3OH3! about how it’s easy to feel helpless...like nothing we do matters that much. Then Nat said ‘ya know...I think everyone is just sick of feeling useless.’ It hit so hard with me because I felt that way my whole life growing up, I felt useless until I broke out of my shell...if my fans are different versions of me this is the biggest thing that connects us on this island of misfit toys. People that feel like they don’t matter in this world and are constantly searching for a place to belong, a place that makes them feel like a kid again.”

After writing from a place of sadness for so long, Frank felt moved to invoke positivity with his music. Though he and drummer Adrian had already garnered a gold single in “Marching Bands,” accumulated tens of millions of streams, and won numerous Canadian awards the singer-songwriter wanted to reinvent their sound. He promptly deleted a full album's worth of songs and started Neon Dreams anew. In 2019, the duo released “Sweet Dream Till Sunbeams,” an album comprising of nine uplifting songs about not fitting in and overcoming adversity. The pair have continued to drop new material this year, covering subjects from Frank’s painful youth to his mother beating cancer.
