With their upcoming performance at this year’s inaugural NXT LVL Emerging Artist Festival in Ottawa, and nomination for a Capital Music Award for Album of the Year (gala hosted on May 22nd, 2025 at Southam Hall at the National Arts Centre (1 Elgin Street) https://ottawamic.com) for their fourth album “Undefeated”, geek culture rock duo Double Experience are sharing their follow up single “Expensive Taste”.
The song speaks of the simple pleasures of life ruined by the ever-expanding reach of modern consumerism and was written to contain the geeky core of Double Experience, but enveloping it in the most layers of candy coating they’ve ever dared to attempt. As a band very familiar with touring, the duo wrote songs that would enhance their visceral concerts in sweaty bars and clubs. This time around, their music has a clear, crisp sound and a new sheen of consummate professionalism. The band explains the single further:
“Take, for instance, the pastime of video games – an innocent slice of escapism now rife with microtransactions designed to make those without feel inferior. In other words, do not let vanity get the better of whatever makes your heart flutter. If you aren’t feeling the warmth of the midsummer sun by the end of “Expensive Taste”, you’re already dead inside.”

About:
By taking influence from Coheed and Cambria, Weezer, and Palaye Royale, Double Experience bounces between sounds in a quest to compose music as diverse as an arcade gallery. In doing so, Double Experience has bonded with a passionate global fan base with their undeniable live prowess amounting to nearly 1000 concerts across 18 countries, opening for all manner of acts, from Badflower to Danko Jones, from JJ Wilde to Galactic Empire.
By day, mild-mannered band members Ian Nichols (vocals, bass) and Brock Tinsley (guitar) deliver band-oriented workshops and panels at conferences, conventions, and festivals (IndieWeek, MAGFest, Ottawa ComicCon), teaching up-and-coming creatives how to take control of their destiny, similar to the duo’s musical alter-ego. The band has co-written songs with Jayson DeZuzio (Imagine Dragons), and in 2016, their Destiny-themed anthem “The Glimmer Shot” caught the attention of the game’s developers at Bungie.
Their fourth studio album “Undefeated” was released in May 2024 via Colfax Music Ltd. and was inspired by the fans through live streaming on Twitch, and has all things nerdy, and is all about perseverance.
