They were formed in 1992 by Paul Blanchard (vocals) and Gabriel Wilkinson (guitar), with an initial line-up that also included Derek Solomon (guitar), Phil Kusabs (bass), and Geoffrey Briggs of death metal group Entropy (drums). In 1994, Adrian Bergman replaced Briggs on drums and the album A Good Solid Flesh Crime was recorded. The final recorded output from Canis was 1998's “Sweet as a Sickle” session at York St Studios, which was recorded live over three days with Nick Abbott engineering. Soon after this session, the band broke up, with Bergman and Solomon moving to England, and Wilkinson moving to Nelson. Vocalist Paul Blanchard went solo as Hog Haul Valentine.

Dopamine Blues
Canis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now I see you're back for more
I need some time I have to wait
And now I think I want to stay
And I will see you everyday
I better live the pride-less, die of shame
Then I′ll see you anyway
But yeah, oh it's on, right now
This time I wonder
Will you trade her pride for fame to cure yourself?
And that′s another love
Forever and today
And day by day I fall away
I got my brain enough to see you everyday
I got my heart enough to see you and today
The lyrics of Canis's song Dopamine Blues weave together themes of love, addiction, and the struggle to break free. The opening lines speak to the singer's surprise at the return of their former lover, and their hesitation to engage with them again. The singer acknowledges their need for time, but also feels a pull towards the other person. Later in the song, the lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to sacrifice their pride in order to be with this person, even though they know it may not end well. The final lines hint at a deeper struggle within the singer, acknowledging that they are both drawn to and repulsed by this person.
One of the most striking things about this song is the way it captures the complex emotions and contradictions of addiction. The singer seems to be both aware of the destructive nature of their relationship and unable to resist it. The lyrics also touch on themes of self-destructiveness, with lines like "die of shame" and "fall away" hinting at a deeper despair. Overall, this song is a poignant exploration of the darker aspects of love and desire.
