Real Sickies • Wild Imagination • 2025

Edmonton’s pop-punk powerhouse Real Sickies return with their fifth full-length album, Under a Plastic Bag, set for release on March 14, 2025, through Stomp Records. Known for their relentless touring and infectious melodies, the band channels the spirit of punk’s golden age with a fresh and approachable modern twist. Even Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day has hailed Real Sickies as his favorite Canadian punk band, cementing their status as a standout act in the global punk scene. The album’s focus track, “Wild Imagination,” comes with an accompanying video created by Jesse Nash and a backstory as unique as its sound. Ben explains, “The song sounds dirty, but it’s all about fossils. I got really into fossil hunting, especially petrified wood, and spent days walking through a creek in Edmonton, soaking my feet and humming this tune. The lyrics came together in trickles. It’s quirky, it’s personal, and it’s very much a part of the journey this album represents.”

False Heads • Mime the End • 2022

Lost Cat • "L.O.S.T." • 2022

https://www.lostcatband.com

"Revving things up with frenetic riffery and wailing vocals, the track grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you as soon as the drums kick in."

- Glide

"With gritty guitars, raucous percussion, and wailing, rowdy harmonies, you can hear that gritty riot grrrl sound on 'L.O.S.T.'"

- Indie88

"Channeling classic 60s television a la The Dick Clark Show, the track’s visual is a perfect representation of Lost Cat’s perfect marriage of old and new, a sonic blend of classic riot grrrl and spunky pop girl group flair."

- SPILL Magazine

ROTTEN MIND • DRIFTER • 2022

Punchy punk clashes with cinematic dark wave on Rotten Mind's new single "Drifter". The track is the second single from the group’s upcoming, fifth studio album "Unflavored", to be released in March 2022. Energetic, yet drenched in gloomy melodies, "Drifter" sets itself apart as one of the most straight forward tracks on Rotten Mind's new album.

Snakerattlers - Ooga Booga - 2019

Of the forthcoming album Dan from Snakerattlers said “This album is a culmination of two years of very hard work. We’ve literally put every ounce of energy we have into this record. We’ve heard the test pressings, and I genuinely think we’ve produced the best album in mine and Naomi’s “career” as a songwriting team.”

The Dirty Nil - "Cinnamon" - 2014

The Dirty Nil wanted to relay this message to you:

"We lied about something with this brand new single. What would we lie about? The Dirty Nil would lie about the amount of drink tickets the venue has already given us, finding a dead body, their guitars being made of fudge, being body snatchers, turning down our amps, our true concern for the feeling of others, being compulsive liars, and really a million things.

But none of those lies apply to the new single.

Satan told us to, Jesus told us to, your mom told us to."

Le Rug - Press Start (The Collection) - 2014

Press Start (The Collection) features 5 magnetic and pulsing post-punk releases from Brooklyn's Le Rug (32 tracks overall)-- 3 albums from when Le Rug was more active years ago (Sex Reduction Flower, Party Rock, Sticky Buns EP) and 2 new recent EPs released earlier this year (Dead In A Hole EP, Cut Off Your Dick And Turn Into Slime). The older material is more of the "deep cuts" variety in which the records were short EPs or singles that never saw an official release.

The first glimpse into this amazing collection of songs from one of Brooklyn's finest underground acts is Harold Camping from the A-side and Dead In A Hole from the B-side. Harold Camping, with it's slinky bass line and driving guitars that wind around Weiss' infectious shrieks, is Le Rug at their best: unbridled, pulsing post-punk with a perfect blend of quirky instrumentation and catchy vocals. Dead In A Hole is a brand new Le Rug track about not getting high that morphs from shimmering and pensive to propulsive and angry at the drop of the hat. Both songs show Le Rug's intensity and imagination, and proves Press Start is a must have collection.
