About the event
cute
Born out of the metallic, industrial backdrop of Hamilton, Ontario and inspired by records deemed unlistenable by peers, experimental rock four-piece cute creates a sonic landscape that is at once crushing, immediate and meditative. With a preference to play in complete darkness while wearing headlamps, this is a band that demands to be seen live.
YarboBouncing between inspirations in “heavy music” with an indifference towards classification, hardcore project Yarbo is consistently fast, catchy and punishing. For a turbulent listening experience that cites “male angst,” “insecurity,” and “redundant social commentary,” among many other riotous ruminations, check out their debut album Husband.
NON ULTRASWalking the line between post-punk heat and new wave flash, the whirlwind energy NON ULTRAS brings to the stage is at once strange, urgent, and unmistakable. Featuring angular guitars, a punchy rhythm section, and explosive saxophone hooks, their debut release BULWARK EP (2025) is a "flavour blast" of jagged, atmospheric art rock.
Uncanny ValleyA five-piece force in post-punk, no-wave and dance-punk, Uncanny Valley channels gothic ’80s atmospherics through cold-wave synths, melodic basslines, and shadow-drenched hooks. With their debut LP Fevering Stare shifting from brooding minimalism to irresistible goth-pop melodies, they craft a sound both timeless and mystifying.
