CAM KAHIN LIVE AT MILLS HARDWARE • GENERAL ONSALE FRIDAY OCT 17 @ 10AM
An alt-punk provocateur channeling raw emotion into a sound that’s as fuzzed-out as it is deeply personal, Cam Kahin hurls himself into an unstable world to embody the chaos of coming-of-age. Lauded by CBC as one of Canada’s “fearless new rock voices”, Kahin is loud, honest and enduring – reveling on the brink of self-destruction and the confusing pendulum swing for some semblance of peace. The 23-year-old grew up in Dunnville, Ontario, a small community with around 6,000 residents. Kahin always felt like an outsider there: he was the only person of color in town, there were no music venues, and what art existed there wasn’t for him. He escaped the small-town doldrums by listening to bands like Cage the Elephant, Biffy Clyro, and PUP. By age 13, he was sneaking out to hardcore shows in Hamilton and Toronto. Those shows pounded an energy and darkness into him that he brings to his music and live performances. Kahin released two singles in 2021 followed by the six-song Let It Sink In EP in early 2022— all recorded in his Dunnville bedroom—that shot him into the industry’s local alternative circles. His follow-up EP, When It's All Over, paint a bleak, honest portrait of a young musician: one who’s been bloodied and bruised by constant upheaval and an unfeeling world, but who’s committed to chasing the light at the mouth of an endless tunnel. It’s set against a suite of fuzzy prog garage rock and ear worm guitar sludge, with explosive crescendos that all claw at the weirdness of growing into a world of relentless instability. Cam Kahin isn’t just making noise—he’s forging a visceral, genre-straddling identity born from isolation, mental health battles, and fierce creative self-discovery. Releasing a new single in 2025 to hold fans over as he readies his upcoming debut album, his music hits like therapy: messy, unfiltered, and wildly alive. For those craving rock that bleeds honesty, this is just the beginning."
