Since forming in late 2022, also-ran has quickly established themselves as an exciting up-and-coming band. Diving headfirst into the Winnipeg Pop-Punk and Rock scene, also-ran has played alongside bands like Avenue 46 and Alone I Walk, creating connections with local venues and cultivating their fan base.
The name also-ran comes from a feeling of mediocrity. Meaning “A loser in a race or other contest”, the band takes the negative connotation of the word and wears it as a badge of honour. The name serves as a tongue-in-cheek way of saying “We know what you think of us and we don’t care”.
