Hot on the heels of their inaugural headlining European tour, Theo Vandenhoff, the Toronto based post-punk project of Theo Klaver, Callum Crombie and Tom Nixon, have released their new EP, A Fear Immortal.

Recently emerging as one of Toronto’s most exciting live acts, the sullen yet danceable post-punk of Theo Vandenhoff lends itself more to the sardonic European synthpop of Klaver’s heritage and the metallic Northern English cacophony of where Crombie and Nixon grew up. These influences fuse to form their own brand of goth-adjacent music that is equal parts nostalgic and contemporary, all while maintaining a staunchly DIY process from conception to completion. The band’s handcrafted sound shines brighter than ever on A Fear Immortal, injecting intoxicating melodies into stark, mechanical rhythms, and lends itself readily to their visceral live performances.

Goth pop duo Fauxcils excavate and sift the work of Jenn Herd and Dunstan Topp, two francophone artists from Sudbury, Ontario. Fed by cold love, androgynous fashion and synthesizers, Fauxcils burn a lush soundscape of sequin sequences, jarring drum machines, chorused lashes and painted faces. With modern textures fixed in ageless arrangement, they construct ornate video performances of ceramic collage.

As artists working in screen printing, ceramic and video; masters of DIY, their live shows often feature installation and performance, transforming any space. Channeling coldwave classics such as New Order and Kraftwerk, as well as contemporary acts like Xiu Xiu and Cold Cave, Fauxcilsevoke remorse for loss with their debut album, Tears of Paint, out April 25th 2025.
