The Corps is a melodic skate punk band from Vancouver, Canada. Examining personal and societal issues through the lens of the DC comic book universe, the band has seen international success with their unique lyrical content. Told from the perspective of heroes and villains alike, each song contains a fantastical tale that encourages repeat listens and exploration into the featured themes. The Corps have had the honour of playing alongside many of their biggest influences including Propagandhi, Belvedere, Satanic Surfers, D.O.A., Chixdiggit, Gob, and The Dreadnoughts, to name but a few.
Dead Rights emerged from the ashes of 2020, transforming chaos into creative energy by unleashing a powerful wave of unapologetic punk rock. Hailing from Vancouver Island, BC, Dead Rights’ music is heavily influenced by the ’90s melodic punk and hardcore scene with a slight metal edge. Their music strikes a balance between a fun, party-like atmosphere and a platform for expressing deeper topics, fighting tyrants and the oppressors of this world, one track at a time. With a strong, intense punch in their sound, the production maintains an immediate and warm ambiance. Fans of NOFX, No Use For A Name, Dillinger Four, and Bad Religion will undoubtedly find a connection with Dead Rights.
