Vicky von Vicky delves into themes of love, loss, and life experiences, expressing themselves with candidness, vulnerability and a big serving of humour. Their distinctive sound draws inspiration from punk, grunge, classic rock, as well as soul and hip-hop.
This culminates in their five-track EP, Broken Chairs, slated for release on June 14th. In anticipation, they share the alt rock single “Freak Me Out” which follows a person through a traumatic event as they begin to feel the effects of it.

“After the recent solar eclipse, I experienced that weird feeling just before you are encompassed in darkness (totality). It was very eerie, the lighting and everything just seemed a bit ‘off.’ Although this song was written well before that experience, that’s pretty close to the feeling the primary figure is singing about in this song.” - vocalist and guitarist Michael Wynn
Friends became my frenemies
And foes became my friends
Laughing at our faults is like
A means into an end
Tell me about the dreamers
Are they dreaming once again
Indie rock band Vicky von Vicky from Toronto, Ontario features Michael Wynn on guitar and vocals, Rolston Miller on bass, and Tom Nesbitt on guitar. Originating in the late 1990s, the band was formed by former members of Trains of Winter (Kingston, ON), along with Paul Pasanen on drums and Wynn’s brother Chris Wynn (guitar) who was replaced by Nesbitt (previously part of London, ON's The Others). Within the local Toronto music scene, Vicky von Vicky quickly established themselves as an act to watch in their early years.
Following the release of two albums in 1998 (self-titled) and 2000 (Farmers & Artists), the band took a hiatus in 2001. In 2019, the band reunited, paying tribute to a friend and former band member. This “second chance” allowed Vicky von Vicky to regroup and make a triumphant return to the Toronto music scene. With a renewed focus, they are eager to unveil fresh new music and forge connections with people who like listening to something just a little different.
Broken Chairs Tracklist:
1. Jealousy
