With funding from FACTOR and MFM, and the help of local producer/engineer Chris Burke-Gaffney, The Treble’s first E.P. saw a 3-piece acoustic project evolve into an exciting 5-piece
band. Consistently receiving airplay on several radio stations, coverage in local print media, and dubbed ‘One of my favourite releases of the year’ by HOT 103’s Young Mike, ‘Shaking Hands and Taking Names’ is a product of an honest love of music, friends, and seeing the world.
Loving nothing more than to perform live, The Treble are ever thankful for the opportunity to use the stage to engage audiences new and old. Most recently spurred on by enthusiastic crowds at Dauphin’s CountryFest and a sold-out CD release party, The Treble are constantly inspired by the opportunities provided to them by their fans.
With a knack for doing things their own way, The Treble, in collaboration with the Canadian Red Cross, recently performed 24 shows in 24 hours, as a means of raising funds in support of relief efforts in the Horn of Africa. The Treble pride themselves on creating honest music with an ambitious message, and will continue to pay tribute to their hometown by sharing their music and experiences with those from all walks of life.

The Treble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like some kinda dark desert road?
With no hands on the wheel
I can feel you wherever I go
I'm going 100 miles an hour
Heading straight for the edge of this world
And if I fall into nothing then I'll know
So what if I sold my soul
To anyone, anyone
Anyone who asked for it?
So what if I sold my soul
To anyone, anyone
Anyone who asked for it?
Kings and queens of the wreckage we've been
I didn't let you drown
Tired at sea, I've been doubting my dreams
But I believe it now
How come every time you walk in
Feels like a tropical storm
With not a cloud in the sky
I'm a thousand miles from the shore
I'm going to batten my hatches
And brace myself for the worst
I feel you coming right at me
Don't say that you haven't been warned
So what if I sold my soul
To anyone, anyone
Anyone who asked for it?
So what if I sold my soul
To anyone, anyone
Anyone who asked for it?
Kings and queens of the wreckage we've been
I didn't let you drown
Tired at sea, I've been doubting my dreams
But I believe in now
I believe it like whoa
I believe it like whoa
Straight ahead
Put my riches to rest
Say I believe it now
I believe it now
But I
I sold my soul for the vessel we came in on
We'd lost control
Kings and queens of the wreckage we've been
I didn't let you drown
Tired at sea, I've been doubting my dreams
But, I believe it now
I believe it like whoa
I believe it like whoa
Straight ahead
Put my riches to rest
Say I believe it now
Kings and queens of the wreckage we've been
I didn't let you drown
Tired at sea, I've been doubting my dreams
But I believe it now
I believe it now
The song "Kings and Queens" by The Treble is a reflection of a tumultuous relationship, using metaphors of being lost at sea and driving towards the edge of the world. The lyrics suggest a sense of danger and uncertainty, as well as a willingness to sacrifice oneself for the other. The line "So what if I sold my soul to anyone, anyone who asked for it" could refer to a promise made to the other person or the idea of being willing to do anything to be with them.
The chorus, "Kings and queens of the wreckage we've been, I didn't let you drown, tired at sea, I've been doubting my dreams, but I believe it now," suggests that while the relationship has been difficult, the singer is committed to it and believes in it despite their doubts.
The verses use vivid imagery to convey the intensity of the emotions involved, such as the comparison of the other person to a tropical storm and the feeling of driving towards the edge of the world.
Overall, the song expresses the complexities of a passionate relationship that is teetering on the edge but still has hope for redemption.
