The band was originally named NC17 but had to change their name due to some dispute with a US band of the same name. The original drummer was Morris Palter (from inception to 1997) who is now a reknowned percussionist and assistant professor of music.
The band released 5 studio albums in their time, but Greig Nori disbanded Treble Charger in 2006, ending its 14 year existence.
Greig Nori continues to work for Bunk Rock Entertainment as the manager/producer of Canadian Rock Band Sum 41.
Bill Priddle is involved with many projects post-Treble Charger, working with Broken Social Scene and Don Vail as well as releasing an album of solo material as The Priddle Concern
Trevor MacGregor was the drummer during what was the last 9 years of Treble Charger, thus making him the longest drummer to stay with them. He is now currently the drummer of Four Square.
On January 20, 2012, it was confirmed that the band will reunite (without Martin and MacGregor).
Brand New Low
Treble Charger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But then I give up and see that look in your eye,
'cause if I took that fall I'd be to blame,
And if I hit the wall I'd still be the same.
Wasting your time with your so-called friends,
The ones you adore, and the ones you pretend,
And it's kind of sad... at the raves,
*Cuz in my mind, it's all a waste of time,
And there's no excuse at all..
Then I realize, surprised you were right all along*
CHORUS:
And I want to know...
[Have I gone too far?]
Have I sunk to a brand new low?
And I want to know...
[If I've gone too far?]
'cause I've lost all my self-control..
Guilty as charged, I've been convicted and tried,
Was it too much to ask for you to take my side?,
'cause there's nothing here to defend..
When it's always me that you blame in the end.
*Cuz in my mind, it's the perfect crime..
And there's no.. excuse at all..
Then I realize, surprised you were right all along*
CHORUS:
And I want to know...
[Have I gone too far?]
Have I sunk to a brand new low?
And I want to know...
[If I've gone too far?]
'cause I've lost all my self-control..
Nothing is what it seems.. to me..
We're sleeping without the dreams..
Without you, nothing defies me..
When I'm slipping away..
It's only you that can find me..
And I'm over my head, again, I'm fallin..
And I meant you well.. (?)
And I want to know..
Have I gone too far...?
And I want to know..
Have I gone too far...?
And I want to know..
If I've gone too far..
'cause I've lost all my self-control..
'cause I've lost all my self-control..
Now I've sunk to a brand new low..
Brand new low..
There's nothing I can do without you,
Brand new low..
There's nothing in here without you,
Brand new low..
I'm slipping away without you..
Have I sunk to a brand new.. low?
The lyrics of “Brand New Low” by Treble Charger revolve around the theme of self-awareness, self-doubt, and relationships. The opening line, “Over and over I keep wondering why,” suggests that the singer is stuck in a cycle of questioning, doubting themselves and their choices. They are seeking validation and a sense of direction from someone close to them. However, they acknowledge that taking a fall or hitting the wall will be their own doing, no matter what guidance they receive.
The second verse seems to be directed at a romantic partner, with lines like “guilty as charged, I’ve been convicted and tried / was it too much to ask for you to take my side?” The singer seems to be feeling tried and judged by their partner, possibly due to their own lack of self-control. The lines “'cause there’s nothing here to defend / when it’s always me that you blame in the end” indicates that the singer has made repeated mistakes in the past and perhaps given up trying to defend themselves.
The chorus repeats the line “Have I sunk to a brand new low?” which implies a sense of shame and self-loathing. Overall, the song delves into the emotional struggles of the human psyche, examining the insecurities and doubts that plague relationships and the need for validation.
