Ketamines http://ketamines.bandcamp.com/

Being reincarnated as the evil union between seminal Lethbridge garage bands Endangered Ape and Myelin Sheaths is not a bad thing. If anything, Paul Lawton and James Leroy’s newest and most

accessible collaboration to date is a welcome break from the usual too-serious landscape of the current southern Alberta punk scene. Instead of struggling to the top of the heap imitating any number of buzz worthy garage or hardcore bands, Lawton and Leroy have put a unique spin on surf-music and claimed it for their own.

Getting early support from Chicago label HoZac records, with their smash single “Line by Line” (available now on 7”), the Ketamines are now anticipating the Febraury 24 release of their full length LP co-released on Alberta mainstay Mammoth Cave Recording Co. and Oakland, California’s Southpaw records. Currently delighting audiences with drunken antics and spaced out jams across North America as a three-piece band, the Ketamines are heading in to the final year on the Mayan calendar with confidence it is just the beginning. - Jaron James

Korean Gut http://koreangut.bandcamp.com/

Korean Gut's debut single from last summer on Mammoth Cave Recording CO. received raves across the board for their spot-On 60's Surf with elements of Shadowy Men and Guided by Voices duking it out in a bare-knuckle brawl. Featuring key members of your other Vancouver favourites such as Role Mach, Apollo Ghosts, ShipYards, this is Korean Gut's first venture east of the Rockies since they formed in 2010. An incredible live band with even better songs, this is not to be missed.

Mobina Galore - http://www.myspace.com/mobinagalore

Mobina Galore is a female duo playing indie-rock-punk tunes. The combination of man eating and sheer rapey-ness helps deliver a rock slap to the groin. Formed in the fall of 2010 in Fernie BC they played out that town and headed for the glory that only Vancouver could provide. The rain is getting them down so they're packing the Camaro and hitting Alberta heavy.

Also, they are babes.
