Maia Sinaiko and Susanna Thomson like to joke that they are delusional about Sour Widows, the Bay Area band they started seven years ago that is just now releasing its entrancing and powerful debut LP, ‘Revival of a Friend’. In those seven years, Sinaiko and Thomson each endured losses and hardships that at times required putting bigger plans on hold; looking back, they can only laugh at these hurdles and wonder if they should have taken them as signs—to stop, to start over, to succumb to the hardship.

PISS is a noisy, genre-bending 4-piece punk band from Vancouver B.C. The band combines music, poetry, sound collage, performance art, and various mediums of visual art to address complex themes that blur the line between personal and political.

Yarbo is an aggressive rock band from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Bouncing between inspirations in ‘heavy music’ with an indifference towards classification, Yarbo’s music is consistently fast, catchy and punishing. Their debut album ‘Husband’ showcases this and it's pretty alright.
