Dual Variant – “Against All Odds”

Dual Variant are a twin-led alt-indie rock duo from London, Ontario, and their new single “Against All Odds” keeps their momentum moving in a strong direction. The track is built around distorted bass, explosive drums, and raw melodic vocals, and it sounds bigger than you would expect from just two musicians working with that setup.

What I really love here is how tight everything feels. There’s a real connection between Anthony and Nicholas LaBarbera that gives the song its punch. The bass drives hard, the drums hit with force, and the vocals bring that extra edge that pushes it over the top. It never sounds overcrowded, but it never sounds small either. That balance is not easy to pull off.

The message behind the track focuses on pushing forward when things get difficult. It connects on a personal level, especially if you’ve ever dealt with doubt or setbacks and had to keep going anyway. You can tell this song means something to them, and that honesty makes it land stronger.

Following their 2025 releases “Lover Girl” and “A Better Tomorrow”, this single keeps building their presence in modern rock. If you’re into gritty, high-impact rock that feels real and direct, Dual Variant should be on your radar this year. Go follow them on social media and keep up with what they’re putting out next.
