Who are the members of and what do they play?


We are back as a power trio again, just like we started out in late 2015! We have

Shawn - Vocals, Guitar

Josh - Bass

Kris - Drums


How would you classify your music?


It  used to be easy to just say “punk” and have that give a general idea of  the sound. As punk music has evolved, so have we, and throughout our  discography we’ve touched on hardcore punk, skate punk, rock-heavy punk,  and pop-punk. I like to think of us as a band that can play any style  of punk, and right now I’d classify us as pop-leaning punk rock.a  general


What do you have out now?


Our  next release is a single called “Just Wondering” which is out November  28. Our back catalogue goes back to 2016 and is quite a wild ride for  anyone willing to go on it. Some highlights would definitely be the  Denial & Error LP and the latest run of singles which started in  2023. We also covered almost all of The Rocky Horror Show and I love  that record.


Is there any inspiration for the band?


Punk  is in my blood at this point so no matter what the influences are at  any given point, they’re going to come out a certain way. Besides the  overt influences anyone can glean from listening, some ones that may fly  a bit more under the radar that have made it into our music are Queen,  Muse, Motorhead, and blackbear. To be clear, I don’t think we sound like  any of them, but I can dare to dream!


What are your plans for 2026?


We’re  getting on that grind. As many shows as we can do, a steady stream of  singles and then when it makes sense to do it, a new full length.  Despite opinions and trends in music consumption, the statement piece of  an LP is still very important to us, especially in this genre.


What would be your dream collaboration?


Some  dream writing collabs for me would be Fat Mike, WZRDBLD, Matt Bellamy,  Andrew Goldstein, John Feldmann, and Ryan Tedder. A dream video collab  would be Damien Leone. A dream tour would be Ice Nine Kills even though  we’d get absolutely smoked by them every night!


What’s your favourite part of the Edmonton music scene, anything it needs?


My  favourite part of the Edmonton music scene is the resilience. A lot of  us (even transplants like me that were just around a lot in my younger  days) are still out there. A huge part of the scene (in our genre and  adjacent areas) is very much homegrown, and there has been a ton of  success, notoriety, and legacy from it. We hope to contribute our share.


What advice would you give new artists?


My advice to a new artist would be to not listen to any of my advice!
