Home Front
HOME FRONT from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, have been blasting out of everyone’s stereos for the past 3 years with their unique combination of THE CURE, BLITZ, EURYTHMICS, and SUICIDE wrapped up with modern production and tightly wound hooks. Unrelenting 2nd LP “Watch It Die” soars high and reaches deep with frayed punk edges wrapping around canonic pop luxury. A record about moving through life while acknowledging death, about humanity, rebirth, dreams and community - all powered by vintage drum machines, analog synths and screaming guitars. A punk pop crossover treat like no other.

Real Sickies
Hot on the heels of their 2020 WHO Vaccine benefit album “Quarantined”, Real Sickies are back to make your heart skip a beat and your butt leave your seat with Love is for Lovers! The new album is a stellar collection of 14 timeless songs about love (duh), loss and heartache served up as only the Sickies can. From explosive rockers to heart-wrenching ballads, Love is for Lovers has the whole enchilada! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll dance the night away to the romantic sounds of Edmonton’s answer to the Ramones.

Closetalkers
This is a Calgary three-piece with their first release on Neon Taste Records. After a well-received demo in 2023 they're out the gate with another nasty take on their particular brand of D-Beat: A fetid heap of UK Crust making out with salty Scandinavian D Beat. If the blatant violence of Secretors made your scalp sweat or you just dig a hard gallop with riffs to match, Closetalkers lock in fast and stay strong to the finish.

Pøltergeist
Pøltergeist is a mix of Post-Punk, Traditional Metal, and Shoegaze from the frostbitten plains of Alberta, Canada... Spectral hauntings created from various musical, artistic, and literary influences.
