Now to tell you a bit more about the bands...
NO WAVES are our favourite surfy punk rock Gen Zs, who recently appeared on our N10.as radio show. They played the most chaotic combination of tracks, ranging from blink-182 to Ellie Goulding, in preparation for this week's set.
Sweet Flood began by organizing DIY shows and events in Montreal's punk scene. The name Sweet was inspired by combining two songs that heavily influenced the band's sound. The heavy sludge-sounding tones of "Sweet Leaf" by Black Sabbath and the melodically atmospheric composition of "Floods" by Pantera. You can find the band at Traxide, an underground punk venue, with an energetic crowd smiling and moshing at the same time.
Büntsa is a three-piece progressive alt-metal band from Montreal. In 2020 during the "red zone" of COVID, Chris and Matthew began meeting up in a backyard shed, composing a hybrid of progressive metal and noisy grooves with a punk rock sensibility. They soon recruited the "old guy," Eric (Chris's dad), to flesh out the sound with heavy beats and rhythmic flourishes. They then moved into Eric's recording studio, practicing their unique blend of fast, heavy grooves and tight, gritty riffs.
With high-energy riffs and their instrumental prowess, Büntsa will make you want to jump, mosh, and slip into a barnyard square-dance adrenaline-fueled ecstasy.
Lucy's Delirium is an alternative rock band from Montreal. Made up of members Addie, Franky, Lila and Hanako, the band is hitting the scene with bratty songs and an energetic attitude. They want to dance, jump, cry and yell with the audience while keeping the scene open and inclusive. They'll be releasing music in the next year, as well as playing more local shows, so keep an eye out!
All Ages Dec 16TH 8PM $10 at the door/$5 with a donation of 2 or more food items.
See you in the pit.
