About the event
NIFE FITE
Loud, bad, and bleeding, NIFE FITE is a new, yet recognizable art-punk trio consisting of Matthew Springer (Radioactive Vampire Teeth, Dial Up), E. Collins (Thee Canadian Dispatch) and Kaiden Jackman (The Furnace). Satirizing violence in the media, the group plows through bite sized tunes about knives, stabbings, and childhood games with reckless abandon.
Dual Nature
Drawing inspiration from the ceaseless sonic brutality of noise rock acts such as The Jesus Lizard, Pissed Jeans and Unwound, Dual Nature utilizes pummeling drums, piercing guitars, gritty, muscular bass, and manic, snarling vocals to create a violently cathartic synthesis of despair and rage.
Mean Bikini
“Pointed, unapologetic, viciously fun, and punishingly aggressive” are all ways that Mean Bikini has been described. Riding the line between hardcore and skate punk with a twist of queer rage and just the right amount of catchiness, the four-piece has been made notorious for not only their music, but their inclusive and energetic live performances.
Toxic Fem
Powered by bold vocals, thrashy guitars and punchy hooks, Toxic Fem channels in-your-face feminist punk with community at its core. With nods to Bikini Kill, Fugazi, The Distillers and more, the four-piece mix riot grrrl ferocity into an urgent grungegaze showcase on their debut EP Toxic Fem Just Won’t Shut Up!
