Daryl Uhrin, originally from Windsor, Ontario, is making a remarkable comeback to the music scene with his latest work, Everybody’s Side Project. His musical journey began in the early 2000s, where he was the lead vocalist and keyboardist for Amid Morning Sky, and later became the lead singer, synth, and keyboard player for We Were Thane. His experiences in Windsor solidified his passion for music and performance. However, he took a 15-year hiatus from the music world to focus on his career in manufacturing.

Now residing in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Daryl is releasing a three-song EP on July 11th titled Searching for a Ray of Hope which embodies the essence of Everybody’s Side Project.

“I Hate Where We Started,” taken from the EP, reflects on the tumultuous beginning to a relationship of Daryl’s with a girl who pursued him without revealing that she had a boyfriend. The intense and driving pop punk tune blends spoken word and sung sections, featuring vulnerable lyrics which capture the messiness of true emotions, like “the heart on your sleeve is dripping all over.” 

This was the easiest song I have ever written; the vibe and lyrics have been on the tip of my tongue for ages. It’s a true story that I have been waiting to tell all my friends. It serves as a long overdue release, helping me process past emotions and remind me of my growth. – Daryl Uhrin
