Dig this heavy duty metal, punk & weirdo extravaganza happening at the Globe on Saturday August 15th 2026!!
SYRINX (Canada/USA)
https://priestsyrinx.bandcamp.com/
In the ancient myth, Syrinx was the nymph who refused to be possessed — a spirit of purity and independence who transformed into sound itself to escape capture. From her, Pan created the first flute — the syrinx — an instrument that turned loss into music, longing into resonance.
That same energy lives in SYRINX, a progressive rock/ heavy metal collective from Canada/USA. Channelling the tension between wild instinct and transcendence — between the earthly and the divine. The music rises out of that friction: heavy and primal, yet illuminated by higher consciousness, melody, and spirit.
SYRINX isn’t just a band — it’s a myth retold in vibration, where sound becomes spirit and the listener is invited into that timeless chase between chaos and beauty
CONJURE HAND (Victoria BC)
https://conjurehand.bandcamp.com/
Conjure Hand is a Canadian rock band formed in 2022. The band resides in Victoria and Nanaimo, BC. Fronted by Canadian-Caribbean front man Andrew Kovar AKA “Black Caesar”.
The band plays a diverse collection of rock and roll influenced by rock, blues,and soul music of the 1960s and 70s.
Lyrically the band's themes stem from African American and Canadian history, voodoo from the African Diaspora, and lower class struggles.
With harmonizing guitars, powerful lyrics, huge drums, and stand out bass, the band takes its listeners on a journey that could remind one of great acts such as Thin Lizzy, The Allman Brothers, Deep Purple, and BB King.
With an ever expanding stage show, and deep roster of original and cover songs, Conjure Hand looks forward to leaving its next audiences in a trance.
CAVEMAN & THE BANSHEE (Nanaimo BC)
https://cavemanandthebanshee.bandcamp.com/
***SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY SHOW***
Imagine Nina Hagen and Lemmy backed by Public Enemy’s drum machine on a heavy metal-meets-techno acid trip. Nanaimo BC’s Caveman & The Banshee (aka Dave Read and Valentina Cardinalli) have been blowing up stages across Canada since late 2021 with their lethal psychedelic electro punk –meets-performance art live shows. New Tour EP 'Major Arcana Pt 1' OUT NOW!
AMONG LEGENDS (Waterloo ON)
https://amonglegends519.bandcamp.com/
Ontario’s Among Legends have been playing their own brand of energetic punk rock for nearly a decade. Formed in 2016, the band built its reputation through a run of EPs before releasing their debut full-length album Take Good Care in 2022. Since its release, the band has played consistently throughout Canada and the United States, with energetic shows and a firm belief that playing music should be a good time. After carving some time out of a busy show schedule to record, Among Legends returns with their second full-length album Lose My Grip, due July 10, 2026 via Little Rocket Records. The new record finds the band more confident in their melodic punk rock sound, leaning into more aggressive tendencies with tighter hooks as the band reflects on both personal and external challenges. This year, Among Legends are ready to take Lose My Grip on the road, playing as many dive bars, basements, DIY spaces, concert halls and backyards as possible.
