About the event
Sick Puppy
Otherwise known as your girlfriend’s favourite band, Sick Puppy began as three friends playing hardcore mid-pandemic but quickly progressed with the release of their debut tape Haunt The Hill and a supporting tour in 2022. Jump to 2026 and we find the band with an upcoming LP, a second guitarist, and a drive to expand upon their hardcore roots.
schoolyard
Creating an irresistible alt-punk racket that rides the line between noise and melody, schoolyard captures raw energy and emotion in their dynamic sound. Driven by a passion for blending diverse genres, the three-piece merges a gritty garage rock vibe with indie and punk influences, resulting in something that feels both fresh and nostalgic.
Invisible Hand
Politically charged and quick to the punch, Invisible Hand is an East Coast hardcore band that rejects breakdowns in favour of pure intensity. With their self-titled debut released last June and an EP on the way, this hard-hitting trio is ready to bring the noise to Sled Island.
ENTWINE
Initially formed with the sole intention of being a scary band to pad out hardcore bills, ENTWINE has since developed into so much more. The heavy four-piece (featuring members of Abrupt Decay, Killing of a Sacred Deer, and Satanic Tea Co.) now describe the project as “a love letter to ‘90s mathcore/metalcore and Y2K-era media.”
