WomboPost-punk wunderkinds Wombo has been masterminding psychedelic fairy tales since 2016. Their sophomore album Fairy Rust garnered praise from Pitchfork and UPROXX with a spellbinding fusion of folkloric lyricism and artful distortion. The title track of the band’s latest EP Slab evokes a moody dance floor scored by a funky bass line and scratchy string blasts.
Fold Paper
Post-punk five-piece Fold Paper are passionate disciples of the genre. Helmed by Chell Osuntade (JayWood, Julien’s Daughter, Super Duty Tough Work), the group flexes art-rock muscles with wiry guitars, sharp lyrics and skronky noise. Osuntade’s vision for this new group is a breath of fresh air for our changing musical landscape.
SO TIRED
Post-punk powerhouse SO TIRED is back in Calgary to cast another spell of timeless, razor-sharp grunge bewitchment. Ripping through the Toronto punk scene led by bass player and songster Miranda Marie, the trio brings cultural nostalgia and versatile DIY punk ethos to their acidic take on noisy punk rock. SO TIRED is so unmissable.
Still Depths
Noisy, experimental post-punk trio Still Depths invites you to join them on a sonic adventure designed to make you scream – and cry and dance – all at the same time. With their latest release, Best Plan For Your Life, they continue to push the boundaries of performance and offer a cathartic experience that blends DIY ethos with avant-garde experimentation.
