Listen to Gen And The Degenerates’ new single Wahoo, which marks the start of a fresh chapter for the band – one in which they plan to “grow and create new and interesting paths to follow…”
Gen And The Degenerates have just released a brand-new single, Wahoo.
The band – who in 2025 are now a trio comprised of vocalist Genevieve Glynn-Reeves, guitarist Sean Healand-Sloan and drummer Evan Reeves – are kicking off a new chapter of the band following a tricky time, not just in terms of their change in line-up but other personal struggles and moments of uncertainty.
“It was written in the immediate aftermath of the loss of a close childhood friend,” says Genevieve of Wahoo. “It’s a rant, or a kind of unhinged monologue, about those times when you try to speed-run through grief, or any difficult feelings, like you’re trying to ‘complete’ them, to get back to normal. The song also functions as a part of that process, trying to get feelings out as quickly as possible and translate them into something fun.
“It felt appropriate to put this track out now – especially with two of our members leaving, for reasons related to mental health. This song marks a brand-new era for us. People can expect a new sound, but with the same Degenerates spirit. Obviously, as a friend, it’s been a difficult transition. Jay and Jake’s leaving has been another kind of grief; however, the drastic shift has been invigorating in its own way.
“Myself, Sean and Evan are more dedicated to, and excited about, the journey of this band than we ever have been, and as an artist, I feel like the loss has left more space for us to grow and create new and interesting paths to follow and see where they go.”
