About the event
GadflyThink: a loud, sketchy basement show with nihilistic lyrics and a full-blown meltdown. Think: sweating through trauma in Farsi and English. Think: grief and rage slamming into a strobe light at the same time. And this is just the beginning. This genre-obliterating rock trio isn’t trying to make sense; they’re trying to melt your face off.
PnoomSince originating and recording their first EP in 2019, post-punk four-piece Pnoom has taken Montreal by storm with their shredded riffs and angular rhythms, inspired by bands like Fugazi and Sonic Youth. They have shared the stage with Tunic, Cloakroom and Cherubs, among others, and toured Canada in 2025 in support of their debut album ENERGY.Concrete Vehicles
Originally a two-piece featuring Ben Lock and Hudson Schlesny, Concrete Vehicles (formerly known as Computer) is now a full-blown seven-headed beast of jazzy, expressive post-punk. Their debut full-length, Station On The Hill, is a ramshackle rollercoaster of lingering synths, brassy breakdowns, and an air of bitter optimism that feels perfect for 2026.Syphon
Built from members of Trench, Fuze, and Enemies, this local hardcore unit delivers raw, metal-bitten punk with zero restraint. Their latest release, Shame, erupts with breakneck riffs and Alberta-underground ferocity, pushing the heaviest edges of punk toward something sharper, darker, and engineered for pure chaos.Important info:
