Winnipeg’s Scott Hinkson is turning up the volume and sharpening his edge with his sixth studio album, The Betterment, out January 31, 2025. The record finds Hinkson embracing his love for punchy rock hooks and biting social commentary, with the legendary Kellii Scott of Failure anchoring the album on drums. It’s a collaboration that feels both natural and electrifying, with Scott’s precision bringing new life to Hinkson’s
meticulously crafted songs.
After years of genre exploration, Hinkson decided it was time to go all-in on a rock record that demands attention. The Betterment is packed with sharp guitar lines and lyrics that take aim at the age of social media and the endless quest for validation. Tracks like “Permutations” and “Rental” don’t just question our modern obsessions—they dare listeners to take a hard look in the mirror.
