Bad Wolves Sober hit No. 1 at rock radio last week, making the gripping mid-tempo number the bands fifth chart-topper. An impressive feat when one considers that Sober is Bad Wolves fifth proper single overall.
Indeed, each of the Tommy Vext-led Zombie rockers five singles has scored a No. 1 somewhere. In 2018, Bad Wolves smash Cranberries cover and Remember When — both from their debut album Disobey — topped Billboards Mainstream Rock chart. Subsequently, so did N.A.T.I.O.N.s Killing Me Slowly.
On a different chart, Disobeys Diamante-assisted Hear Me Now clocked at No. 1 on the Active Rock 7-Day ranking from Mediabase, another music service that tracks broadcast stats. This week, Mediabase sighted Sober at the top position for Active Rock airplay for the period ending June 14.
That gives Bad Wolves five successive No. 1 chart bullets to celebrate. An achievement made all the more touching since Sober tackles a sensitive subject that can often be a source of regret.
This song was a unique opportunity to talk about addiction not only from the perspective of the addict but also from the perspective of their loved ones, Vext says of the tune.
He continues, The message is very different from traditional songs that seem to always perpetuate a mentality of self-victimization which is exactly the kind of misguided thinking that perpetuates the mental obsessive side of alcoholism and addiction. In the end, the moral of the story is about holding on to not giving up on ourselves or the people who are trying — who are really, really trying to make and better themselves.

WEATHER WARNING
ISSUED BY: ENVIRONMENT CANADA START DATE: MONDAY DEC 8, 2025 4:16 AM END DATE: MONDAY DEC 8, 2025 8:26 PM
STRONG WINDS AND A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED.
LOCATIONS: PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN AND SOUTHERN MANITOBA.
TIME SPAN: TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TO WEDNESDAY MORNING.
REMARKS: A LOW-PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP JUST EAST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS OVER SOUTHERN ALBERTA MONDAY NIGHT AND TRACK SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN AND WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA ON TUESDAY.
A NARROW BAND OF FREEZING RAIN IS POSSIBLE BEGINNING TUESDAY MORNING, EXTENDING FROM KINDERSLEY TO ESTEVAN, PRESENTING POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
AS THE SYSTEM PROGRESSES EASTWARD, HEAVIER SNOWFALL IS LIKELY ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN SASKATCHEWAN AND SOUTHWESTERN MANITOBA, INCLUDING THE PARKLANDS. WHILE EXACT ACCUMULATIONS REMAIN UNCERTAIN, A GENERAL RANGE OF 10 TO 20 CM IS ANTICIPATED, WITH HIGHER TOTALS POSSIBLE OVER ELEVATED TERRAIN.
BEHIND THE SYSTEM, WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN AND COULD PRODUCE BLOWING SNOW ACROSS SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN ON TUESDAY. HOWEVER, WARMER AIR AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING RAIN IN SOUTHERN AREAS MAY LIMIT BOTH SNOWFALL AND THE EXTENT OF BLOWING SNOW THERE. THE WINDIEST LOCATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO SEE REDUCED NEW-SNOW AMOUNTS, EXCEPT IN SOUTHEAST SASKATCHEWAN WHERE SUFFICIENT SNOWFALL COMBINED WITH STRONGER WINDS MAY STILL RESULT IN LOCALIZED BLOWING SNOW.
METEOROLOGISTS ARE ACTIVELY MONITORING THE EVOLVING SITUATION, AND IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED LATER TODAY.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO SKSTORM@EC.GC.CA, CALL 1-800-239-0484 OR POST REPORTS ON X USING #SKSTORM.
