The four person lineup, comprising Dylan Gross on bass, James Terranova on drums, synth player Brian Sweeney, and Michael Rubin on guitar and vocals, play their music with an energy and urgency that&#8217;s impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Donna&#8217; is a pop-rock love song whose verses build up to an instantly sing-a-long chorus. It&#8217;s designed for audience interaction, and the video for the song gives the listener an idea of what to expect from their live performances. The Inoculated Canaries are set up to play in front of a factory&#8217;s industrial fan, while a co-worker teases each member of the band in turn, before ultimately making her choice. It&#8217;s a fun clip, and a fun song, that will have you humming for hours afterwards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about The Inoculated Canaries on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.TheInoculatedCanaries.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.
