We recently had the stellar opportunity to check out the new single, “The Wednesday of my discontent”, from Boston, based foursome, Charming Arson. You can listen to “The Wednesday of my discontent “ Here

“The Wednesday of my discontent “ from Charming Arson is absolutely charming. We believe it is absolutely impossible not to fall completely in love with this melodic gem .

There is so much musical goodness surrounding, “The Wednesday of my discontent “ that it is utterly mind blowing.

“The Wednesday of my discontent,” hits the streams today, ( Friday, June 19.)  

Later that night, the foursome head north and cross state lines into New Hampshire for the release party at The Shaskeen Pub in Manchester, part of an inspired bill of guitar-driven rock and roll alongside TELL and Falsely Accused.

The Wednesday of my discontent,” Charming Arson’s first shot of new music since 2024 EP Another kind of vision, will be included on a forthcoming six-song record due out later this fall. But in the meantime, the new single finds the band – Stefano Bellezza (lead guitar, backing vocals); David Cameron (lead vocals, rhythm guitar); Dave Gould (percussion, backing vocals); and Aaron Clark (bass guitar, backing vocals) – exploring new sonic territory that further expands their prog- and psych-leaning power-pop sound into something boldly modern.

“When I first came up with the chorus, I automatically started singing ‘this is the winter of my discontent’ as a placeholder,” Cameron admits. “Obviously, quoting The Bard is a bit much. I switched ‘winter’ to ‘Wednesday’ as a joke, and it made me laugh out loud. Then I just loved it. Wednesday is such a pedestrian day of the week, and declaring something to be ‘the Wednesday of my discontent!’ feels so comically melodramatic.” 

But Cameron notes that there’s also a certain kind of pathos to it.

“‘Winter’ as a metaphor is majestic and rich with meaning, but ‘Wednesday’ is so ordinary it’s poignant,” he adds. “I’m sure that all of us, one way or another, can localize our deepest disappointments into the Wednesday of my discontent.”

For a song that hits just right any day of the week, you can’t go wrong with “The Wednesday of my discontent “ , from Charming Arson.
