Art punk
Bad Waitress’ antsy art punk revels in fits of fury and ego, spitting in your face and winking, ferocious and playful. The Toronto-based four-piece plays like they’re conspiring or casting a spell, each member wielding a different power, with howls, erratic drum fills, and fiery riffs fueling one another. Their music exudes a spirit of improvisation and conviction. "We play with conviction. There's nothing apologetic about it," says Katelyn. "Even with our bizarre song structures, we don't hide anything in our music. It's just very... I don't like the word raw, it’s overused, but... raw.” Their debut full-length album, No Taste, finds strength in mood swings, from upbeat “groovin down the street” songs like “Strawberry Milkshake” to “I'm gonna fucking punch everyone” songs like “Lacerate.” Nicole says, “It’s good to listen to when you're walking alone at night. I get really anxious, but I feel powerful when I listen to this album, like I’m fucking untouchable. It’s basically a self-defense album.”
