Gloin [Toronto] / Brussels [Köln]

dark post-punk, noise rock, industrial

Gloin “make driving, dark post-punk” (BrooklynVegan), adding noise rock and industrial elements to their music as they tackle themes of bewilderment, dread and anger. Using bombastic rhythmic constructs, savvy arrangements and fervid melodies, the Toronto outfit put forth solemn tracks about perseverance and self-determination that are cleverly subverted through sarcastic commentary, courtesy of their sense of humor. Gloin self-released their introductory EP Soft Monster on April 18th, 2019. For their first full-length, We Found This (October 21st, 2022 via Mothland), they elected to print alongside up-and-coming studio wizard Dylan Frankland of Tallies, later turning to music visionary Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck, METZ, Alvvays, etc.) for the mix. Over the years, Gloin embarked on a handful of North American tours, performing at SXSW, Freakout Fest, New Colossus, Sled Island, and Treefort Music Fest, while also sharing the stage with Snapped Ankles, Osees, Amyl & the Sniffers, and A Place to Bury Strangers. All of your anger is actually shame (and I bet that makes you angry) by Gloin was released on March 28th, 2025 via Montreal imprint Mothland, earning a spot on the Long List for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize.
