DEAD BOB
Dead Bob is the solo incarnation of John Wright, drummer of long time and apparently legendary, but now retired, Canadian punk band No Means No (NMN). Wright has spent 50 years drumming, 45 years songwriting, 30 years touring, three years helping robots play punk rock, 30 years brewing, and a lifetime playing music â in more bands than you can count on one hand.
Currently practicing drums, working on the next two albums and having a beer, Wright is not planning on slowing down any time soon. The material on "Life Likeâ spans decades and there's lots more in the vault. The album was recorded and produced by Wright in the wilds of British Columbia and while he primarily wrote and performed it himself, he can't take all of the credit, having engaged the help of several friends inclding Byron Slack (Invasives), Kristy Lee Audette (Rong), Ford Pier (Ford Pier and the Vengeance Trio, DOA, Roots Round up, Junior Gone Wild, Rheostatics), Selina Martin, his son Aidan Wright, as well as two old collaborations with his brother Rob in the writerâs chair.
As might be expected, the songs roll out cohesively but defy the cookie cutter pigeon holes, hence "Genre" is a tough one to convey but one thing that is not unclear is it is not to be listened to quietly! We aim to make sure you hear it all good and loud!

MEAN BIKINI
Mostly queer, sometimes political, always a damn good time. Mean Bikini are hailed for their fast, and enthusiastic live show. With musical influences that range from skate punk to hardcore they make a point to celebrate the good in the world while tearing down the bad in a way that is pointed and unapologetic, but also inclusive and just plain fun.
Cumberland punk heroes Mean Bikini are on a massive cross Canada tour and readying the release of their sophomore album.
