Originally created as the name of his social media channel, SayWeCanFly was home to Barrie's early demos, which he began uploading in 2009. Although he grew up listening to hardcore punk and My Chemical Romance, Barrie's music is patient and sweeping, more fitting for a coffee shop than an underground basement gig. He released his debut EP, Heaven Is Hell, in 2013. Two years later, in addition to signing with Epitaph and joining the Warped Tour, he unveiled his first full-length, Between the Roses. Tours with the Ready Set, Tonight Alive, and Set It Off followed. His sophomore effort, Blessed Are Those, arrived in 2016 and debuted at number 15 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
