Melodic Punkrock vs. punked-up rock 'n' roll
Melodic punkrock with fast riffs, killer vocal harmonies, catchy hooks, and lyrics with strong opinions: MELONBALL play “melonic” punk and are present in different corners of the genre. They deliver a unique mix of politically-charged skate punk and striking melodies. Fronted by the standout voice of lead singer Oli, MELONBALL carves out their own spot in the skatepunk scene.

Since 2021, they've hit stages at Manchester Punk Festival, Punk Rock Camp, Punk Rock Holiday, KNRD Fest, Music 4 Cancer, and gigs with A Wilhelm Scream, Punk Rock Factory, Authority Zero, and Belvedere. MELONBALL toured the UK in 2023 and played 10 shows across East Canada in 2024. Their debut album BREATHE dropped on March 31, 2023, via Thousand Islands Records (USA/CAN) and Lockjaw Records
(UK), followed by the acoustic EP eup•nea in April 2024.
For fans of: Not On Tour, Bad Religion, F.O.D., Millencolin

A staple of the Toronto scene for over a decade, The Anti-Queens are an ultra-hard-working, punked-up rock 'n' roll quartet. They've become infamous in their hometown of Toronto for their insanely high-energy, take-no-prisoners live performances.
They've toured across Canada, the United States, and Europe as direct support for bands like Danko Jones, Streetlight Manifesto, Cancer Bats, Protest The Hero, illScarlett, and The Bronx, to name a few. The Anti-Queens are no strangers to the big stage, having rocked festivals such as 77 MTL, Montebello Rockfest, Music4Cancer, Rock La Cauze, Pouzza Fest, Park Jam London, and more.
The Anti-Queens released their second LP, DISENCHANTED, in May 2024 – produced by Dave ‘Brownsound’ Baksh and Steve Rizun. The band has previously self-released two stellar EPs (Grow Up/Stay Young and Start Running) and their killer full-length debut on Stomp Records in the fall of 2019. With a second US and Canadian tour and a summer European tour on the horizon, they're ready to take on the world.
